Benefits of Installing Custom Shutters in Your Home in Houston TX

1. Timeless beauty – Unlike many window treatments that have a shelf life, plantation shutters will never go out of style


2. Easy to clean – Shutters are easily kept clean with regular dusting and an occasional wipe down with a damp cloth.


3. Reduces allergens – Shutters do not trap allergens and keep them in the room like softer window fashions can.


4. Light and privacy control – Shutters can be opened completely for an unobstructed view, closed with the louvers open for partial privacy, or closed completely to block light. If you prefer indirect light, the louvers can be tilted slightly up or down. Custom shutters are even available with louvers that operate separately so you can have the bottom half closed for privacy and top open to let in natural light.


5. Increase in home value – Because of their timelessness, flexibility, and durability, plantation shutters are attractive to buyers and increase the value of your home.


6. Block out heat/ cold air – Increase the energy efficiency of your home with shutters that effectively block out cold winter air and the heat of the summer sun.


7. Lifetime guarantee – Hunter Douglas provides a limited lifetime guarantee on all of their window treatments, including shutters.


8. Quality – Hunter Douglas offers the above guarantee because their shutters are expertly made with quality products that will last for years.


9. Professional installation – While shutters bought at a big-box store may offer a few of the benefits listed here, custom shutters from Window Magic come with professional installation.


10. Variety of materials – Custom shutters come in 100% wood, Polysatin™ compound , and a hybrid of wood and manmade materials.


11. Variety of colors – Whether painted or stained, custom shutters can be matched to your existing décor.


12. Easy to open and close – No matter how large or small, shutters are easy to open and close, unlike some blinds and shades that can be difficult to open evenly or become unwieldy if they are large.


13. Cordless – Shutters are safe for both children and pets.


14. Quiet – If blinds are closed with the slats open, a breeze can cause them to sway and bang against the window frame. Shutters stay put as they allow breezes to blow through.


15. Will work in any type of window – Custom shutters can be made to fit any size or shape of window.


16. Can be mounted inside or outside the window frame – If you want to showcase your window trim, hang shutters on the inside; if you want the trim hidden, mount them on the outside.


17. Multiple hanging options – Shutters can be hung with one panel attached to each side of the window or they can be hinged together and attached to only one side of the window.


18. Durable – Because they are made of hard materials and without cords, shutters are very durable window treatments.


19. Won’t fade – Unlike curtains or draperies, shutters resist fading.


20. Made in the USA – All Hunter Douglas window coverings are proudly made in the U.S.
