If you are looking for a way to keep the home
secure, cost, warm and want to do it in a way
that enhances the appearance of the home too, you
should take a look at the many options of window
shutters available. Shutters are a great way to
keep the heat in during the winter months, offer
you more privacy and keep the home safe. Plus
they also look great on any home. Types of
plantation shutters - Plantation shutters can go
on the outside or inside of windows and doors
including swimming pools, bathrooms and shower
rooms when they are waterproofed. They are wooden
or faux wood shutters with louvred panels and
there are three types, full height, cafe style
and tier on tier.

Cafe style From their original use in France to
create a more intimate experience when dining
out but still allow in natural light. They cover
the bottom half of a window and offer some
privacy, allow in some light and are more
cost-effective than getting the full-length
types. Full height/length As the name indicates
these cover the whole window and are a great
option for homes and offices too. You get more
privacy but you pay a little more too. Tier on
tier Cover the whole window but in 2 sections
and each of the louvred panels can open
independently of the other so you can have the
top half closed and the lower opened or vice
versa depending on the light you want and the
privacy you want. Plantation shutters do not have
solid panels like solid shutters. If you are
looking for noise blocking, complete light
blocking and privacy, then solid panels would
work better.

Save money on your energy bills - When it gets
cold outside and you start turning up the heating
inside when you have any kind of window shutters
that can help keep the heat in and save you money
on your energy bill. Solid shutters are
especially effective at this but even external
shutters offer some insulation and reduce heat
loss through the glass windows. The bonus with
plantation ones is that even as they are keeping
the heat in you can still adjust to allow some
light in too. Even the cafe half style will help
reduce drafts and loss of heat from the lower
half of the windows. Give you an extra barrier
for privacy Another nice benefit of having
shutters is the privacy and security they offer.
You are hiding what is in your home so
opportunistic thieves do not decide to have a try
at something. People cannot see you enjoying your
hot chocolate in your pyjamas. Plantation
shutters add an extra layer of security around
your home at night while giving you wonderful
light and letting in the fresh air in the day. At
any time of day or night, you can adjust the
slats to a different position depending on what
level of openness or privacy you prefer at that
point.
