To help get you started, we’ve compiled this guide on the incredible benefits of interior shutters and why so many homeowners love to install them in their spaces.
What Are the Benefits of Interior Shutters for Windows?
Interior window shutters are gorgeous window treatments that increase your home’s value, as they’re considered a permanent fixture once installed.
While increasing curb appeal is a major draw for many homeowners, and potential buyers should you sell in the future, these shutters have so many more advantages, including:
- Enhanced Durability: Because Hunter Douglas interior shutters are made from hardwood, composite, or vinyl, they’re quite resistant to fading and bending. Hunter Douglas designs these window treatments to last for decades.
- Improved Light Control & Privacy: You can control the amount of light and privacy in your home with a tilt of the louvers. Shut out all the light in your bedroom and have complete privacy, tilt them open for natural light, or anywhere in between.
- Reduced Sound Pollution: Interior shutters can help reduce outside noise from seeping inside because of how they’re installed on your window’s frame.
- Decreased Chore List: Interior shutters make cleaning your window treatments a breeze. Simply brush them with a feather duster or vacuum every few weeks.
3 Types of Hunter Douglas Interior Window Shutters
There are three main styles of Hunter Douglas shutters, which are:
1. Genuine Wood Shutters
Heritance® Wood Shutters are made from 100% hardwood and provide warmth, elegance, and durability to any room. These interior shutters feature dovetail construction and a wide range of unique finishes to match your home.
Hunter Douglas harvests the wood for these shutters from responsibly managed forests for sustainability.
2. Composite Shutters
NewStyle® Composite Shutters are made from a composite material that mimics the appearance of real wood but offers even greater durability. These hybrid shutters feature a low-luster Finetech® finish to ensure the louvers look like natural wood.
The composite shutters from Hunter Douglas also feature a dovetail construction, similar to the genuine wood style.
3. Vinyl Shutters
Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters resist moisture, heat, mold, mildew, and strong sunlight. These elements make them a strong contender for homes on the coast in and around Ocean City, MD, as well as in areas like bathrooms, laundry rooms, and kitchens.
These Hunter Douglas shutters are also the only ones that are compatible with PowerView® Automation.
