Shutters are one of the most common window treatments in the United Kingdom and the southern United States. If you have never lived in those areas, you may never have been exposed to the many wonders of shutters. Two of the primary benefits of choosing to use shutters as your home’s window treatment are the ability to precisely control the amount of light that enters a room and the option to achieve total privacy whenever you want it.

Light

Shutters will allow as much or as little light in as you want. Some window treatments, such as plastic blinds, are so sheer that there will always be some amount of illumination coming through on a bright day while others, such as blackout curtains, create such total darkness that you may find yourself tripping over the rug while fumbling your way to find the light switch. Shutters, however, are completely adaptable to different situations, weather conditions, and times of day. Frustrated by a glare on the television screen? Prefer to let sunlight flood in to heat up a space rather than running the furnace? Want to keep your furniture and wall hangings from fading? Enjoy the comfort and convenience of a fully custom experience with high-quality shutters.

Privacy

Many of the common window treatments on the market tend to invite the entire neighborhood into your room along with the sunlight. Curtains, for example, offer a very all-or-nothing approach, either totally blocking out any sort of view to make you feel like a shut-in or opening up your living space for the whole world to see. Shutters, on the other hand, provide custom privacy options, with the ability to close completely or be opened to varying degrees. Note that whatever level of openness you choose to set your shutters at, the angle of their design will still make it challenging for anyone to see inside.
