While window shutters tend to be pricier than most other types of window dressings, they have become a popular choice for home owners who need both an aesthetically pleasing and functional product. Paul O’Brien from Blind Designs shares three top tips for choosing window shutters you will love for years to come.
Visual appeal
Window shutters are a statement purchase, and not one that you are going to change on a regular basis. This means that they will need to stand the test of time and not date as trends pass. Blind Designs Urban Shutters are effortlessly chic and are available in one, two, three, four and six-panel configurations beautifully finished to emulate the elegance of traditional timber plantation shutters. The shutters are available in white, a classic colour that can look great regardless of your room’s interior décor scheme.
Louvres design
Urban Shutters’ tilted louvre design allows for full rotation of the shutter with maximum light control in either direction. Each shutter features louvres that are evenly spaced to achieve the perfect aesthetic balance. Urban Shutter louvres are engineered to be hollow – this creates an air barrier that can help reduce solar gain in the summer and heat loss in the winter. This excellent feature is also engineered into the styles that constitute the frame for each shutter.
Top-quality materials
Blind Designs’ Urban Shutters are made from Polysilk, which is not only sturdy and long-lasting, but also doesn’t chip, crack or warp, and never needs painting. Everyday scratches and dents do not affect the colour of the shutter and minor ones can simply be sanded out.
Should they be damaged beyond repair, louvres can be re-ordered and replaced by the consumer as they can simply snap out the damaged louvre and replace with the newly supplied one. The Urban Shutter range is a modular system, meaning that almost any part can be replaced. It’s easy to clean and maintain, requiring minimal maintenance.
