The 3 Key Insights of California Shutters in Your Home

Having California Shutters for Every Room in the House

California shutters (or Plantation shutters) are a prevalent window treatment that are extended versions of standard-sized fixtures. They can reach from floor to ceiling, letting in sufficient natural light and airflow. California shutters have been around for ages; their quality, durability, and style can make a valuable addition to your home. California Shutters come in all louvre sizes for the right amount of light to enter from your doors and windows for appropriate illumination and privacy. Along with being either bi-fold or hinged, the California shutters can be:

• Full length

• Double hung

• Cafe-style

• Non-Quadrilateral

• Tier-on-Tier

The rise of California shutters comes from their effectiveness against dust, areas with strong winds, and their overall appealing look. Over the years, their use has expanded small windows, oversized doors, sliding doors, and huge living rooms.

Bringing beauty, warmth, and richness to your home. Wholesale Blinds' California Shutters are produced from North American hardwoods and installed by trained craftsmen. California Shutters keep you warm in the winter and block the sun's beams in the summer while reducing utility bills.

How to Choose Between California Shutters vs Blinds

There are various reasons to choose California shutters for your home, but it can sometimes be easy to pick blinds instead. They have similarities, like both can be motorized or cordless to avoid dangerous encounters with pets or small children. Both keep light out and warmth in from outside. Both can match your home decorum with many colourful options and styles.

Blinds

Blinds are much more affordable and can come in various colours, sizes, and materials, making them adaptable for any room arrangement. At Wholesale Blinds, we have three different styles that the blinds come in:

• Faux Wood

• Real Wood

• Vertical Style

Blinds, like curtains, have lots of different options for their materials. They have more style choices than California shutters do, which doesn't put a limit on their location in your house. Shutters are usually more extensive and more effort to clean; blinds are less hassle and can be easily checked for dust and dirt.

Shutters are best for their ability to offer different degrees of privacy and light control. Shutters may be more effort to clean, but they absorb the least amount of moisture, making them durable and lasting longer over blinds.  When opening your window, the design of the California shutters allows more air to get through. Shutters are also exact regarding getting the right fit in your window fixture. They can cover every space that may be allowing sunlight and can fit all shapes, not just a regular square window. According to Energy.gov, 30% of a home's heating comes from the integrity of the windows. Shutters will keep your room at the desired temperature and reduce more heat than blinds and curtains.  California shutters can facilitate a large room and sliding doors built directly into the size of the area they cover. They are more contained than blinds which are more challenging to make as the exact size of your window.  Overall, shutters are better for quality, durability, and ageless style. They may be worth more of an investment, but the value over time pays off. It is up to you which type you pick; Wholesale Blinds offers the best quality that you can find in the lower mainland.
