How Shutter Blinds Add Value to Your Property: A Practical Investment for Homeowners

 When you’re in the market for a new window treatment, whether it’s shades, blinds or shutters, it’s important to choose the right type of dressing to fit your style, budget and home. Fortunately, we offer a number of options to meet the needs of your home and complement its interiors.

Shutters feature fixed louvers mounted within a solid frame

Unlike blinds, Shutter Blinds  feature fixed louvers mounted within a solid frame. This gives the option of varying degrees of light control and privacy depending on your tilt choice. The louvres can also be opened or closed in conjunction with the window.

Shutters are a great choice to complement any interior

With the range of colours and materials on offer, shutters are a great choice to complement any interior design. Our own PURE Cell Honeycomb shutters are available in a wide selection of colours, from bold statement shades to subtle neutral hues.

More subtle look

Blinds, on the other hand, come in a range of fabrics and are a great choice for those looking to add a splash of colour or to create a more subtle look. They’re also an ideal choice for those who want to reduce heat loss and save on energy bills, as the fabric will help keep your home insulated.

Most obvious difference between blinds and shutters

The most obvious difference between blinds and shutters is the fact that shutters can be manipulated to allow in varying amounts of sunlight depending on your requirements. Alternatively, you can choose to close them to block out the light completely. They’re an excellent option for those looking to create a more minimalist look, especially if you opt for a shutter with a hidden tilt rod or a split tilt design.

Shades, on the other hand

Shades, on the other hand, are a simpler window treatment option. They’re available in a range of styles and fabrics, but they don’t have the slats or louvers that blinds or shutters have. Instead, shades have a sleek, single-piece look that is often operated with cords or motorization for easy raising and lowering.

Regardless of their material, all our shades come with UV-inhibiting paint to help reduce the amount of sunlight that passes through your windows. Compared to blinds, they provide a more stylish and sophisticated appearance and are one of the few window treatments that can actually boost your home’s value.

Conclusion

Shutters have a classic, show-home worthy appearance that’s a real talking point for guests. They’re more expensive than blinds, but they’re a worthy investment in the long-term. Besides adding a touch of elegance and beauty to your property, they’re also highly durable, reducing the risk of fading or damage over time. They’re also more secure than blinds, as they don’t have dangling cords that could be dangerous to children. They’re also easier to clean, making them a good choice for bathrooms and kitchens.
