Features and Benefits of Plantation Shutters

Benefits of Plantation Shutters

Plantation Shutters can be described as a panel of large horizontal slats or louvres set into their own frames. Once fully open, they maximise light and air circulation; once fully closed they maximise your privacy and yet they can be precisely angled in-between.

Here at Blind Technique, Plantation Shutters are made to survey – just for you and your home. We also offer a FREE and no-obligation quotation for the different styles and materials you may be interested in from our supplier, S:Craft.

A classic and timeless design, easy to clean and maintain and one which adds value to your home as part of your fixtures and fittings. An inherently child-friendly choice, one which increases the perception of security, versatile enough to dress almost any room in the home plus an energy-saving and a space-saving option, too.

With all these plus points, let’s outline the features and benefits of Plantation Shutters in detail, here.

The Benefits of Plantation Shutters at Blind Technique

  • Superb light control – protecting wooden floors and precious items from light fade
  • A flexible price point – depending on the shutter material you choose and for which room
  • Dress irregular sized windows with ease
  • Child-friendly – no pull cords – just a tilt rod or the fully motorised option for ease of daily use
  • A durable and robust choice
  • Plantation Shutters do not accumulate dust in the same way as fabric custom blinds do, for example, so more allergy-friendly
  • The design is always on-trend – minimalist, neutral – easy to dress up or down with your home furnishings
  • Energy-efficient – when closed, cools the room during summer and retains heat during the winter season
  • Space-saving – sit within their own frame, flush to the window
  • Increases your home’s kerbside appeal
  • Reduces ambient noise which contributes to improved sleep quality at night
