PLANTATION SHUTTER

“I was completely happy with the
service I received along with the
products selected for my home.
The decorator and I successfully
collaborated to choose window
treatments which were practical,
esthetically pleasing and in
alignment with my budget for
window coverings. The
installation was done in a timely
and professional manner and I
was consistently kept in the loop
through frequent communication
via email and telephone. I will
definitely use Shades of Home
when I make another move in the
near future.”

PLANTATION SHUTTER

“Everything that has happened
since I emailed Jasmina for an
online quote has been more than
impressive – Jasmina returned
every email promptly and the
gentlemen who both measured
and then installed were great to
deal with, punctual and NEAT !
I’m extremely happy with
everything from a business point
and as for the shutters
themselves – just perfect and
everything I’d hoped they would
be … I would without question
recommend shades of home to
anyone who asks – I actually
already have !”

Thank you Dorota and your team
for facilitating this process.”

Benefits of Wood Shutters

Window Shutters offer many benefits over the more traditional window
furnishing options. Due to their bespoke finish, shutters can be made to fit
almost any window or special shape. Shutters offer complete flexibility,
with how you control the light, they are low maintenance, help with sound
insulation, afford privacy and actually help to insulate your home from the
cold.

Low maintenance and health benefits
Compared to more traditional window coverings, interior shutters require very little maintenance. An occasional quick wipe down will keep them clean. Dust does not collect on shutters in the same manner it does in fabric curtains and blinds. A build-up of dust can become a breeding ground for dust mites. Plantation shutters are perfect for those who suffer from allergies and want to avoid dusty environments.

Privacy and perceived security
Particularly suitable for properties adjacent to streets, the lower louvres of
a shutter panel can be tilted closed, whilst the top section louvres tilted
open or indeed top panels in tier on tier shutters, can be opened right
back. You can control the light in your property but your privacy is always
maintained.

Sound and thermal insulation
When the panel doors and louvres are closed the shutters provide a layer
of sound insulation. The timber barrier insulates your room, keeping
warmth in during the winter thus helping to reduce your heating bills. In the
summer, opening your windows and keeping panels closed assists in
keeping unwanted heat out, whilst allowing the air to circulate.
UV protection and flexible light control
Shutter louvres can be angled to control how much light enters a room to
the extent that harmful UV rays can be directed away in order to protect
furniture and flooring. When more light is required, shutter panels can be
fully opened back to allow a clear view through the window. The shutters
themselves are finished with an invisible UV protective layer. This protects
the paint or wood stain finish from fading and prevents the panels from
warping.

Investment and curb appeal
Because interior shutters are now such a desired window dressing, you should consider them a sound investment for your home. They can disguise unsightly PVC windows and because they are a permanent fixture, they could help increase the potential price of your property.

Wood Sutters – Tips & Advice

Are shutters
suitable for a
bathroom?

Bathroom vanities are constructed
of wood and finished to resist
humidity just as our Custom Wood
Shutters are, even in a well used
family washroom.

The exception being an older
home where the bathroom
window is the showroom or
bathtub enclosure. Then we
would recommend a Vinyl Shutter
for that opening.

As with any finished wood
furnishings, it is important to wipe
off excess water on any lacquered
surface, and that is the only care
they require!

Are you looking
for shutters for
an odd-shaped
window?

As our shutters are
made-to-measure and individually
crafted to meet your requirements,
we can fit them to virtually any size
and shape of window. So even if
you have the most problematic of
shaped windows, there is a good
chance we can make your
shutters to fit perfectly.

Full Arches, Eyebrow Arches,
Quarter Arches
Ovals, Triangles, Trapazoids,
Widows Peaks
Bishops Peaks

ASK ABOUT OUR SPECIALTY
“TABLAUX TRACERIES” as an
architectural option/feature for the
upper portion of your shutters.

Do you want
your shutters to
match a
particular paint
shade?

Your shutters should look like they
were an integral part of your
home, not something that was
obviously added after-the-fact.
Aside from our basic whites, our
shutters are available in an
unlimited range of colours. All we
require is the colour code, a bit of
leftover trim paint, a piece of
painted trim, cabinet door,
flooring, ceramics or whatever
colour you are trying to match.

And if you need help selecting a
colour, your designer can make
experienced suggestions.

Do you need
shutters to fit a
patio door?

B-Fold ~ Pairs of panels are
hinged together to allow the
shutters to bi-fold and rest beside
the patio door.

Bi-Pass ~ Where room is
available, the shutters are
mounted on a track allowing the
shutters to be stacked clear of the
door without having them open
into the room.

Tracked ~ are the perfect choice
for wide expanses of glass like
oversized patio doors and even
extra wide or multiple windows.
They allow for multiple shutter
panels which fold together neatly
as they open.

Do you need
flexible control
over light and
privacy?

All of our shutters give you
complete control over light and
privacy, but tier-on-tier shutters
have top and bottom tiers which
open independently of each other,
giving you the flexibility to decide
where you want the light and
privacy the most. Alternatively
café style shutters fix to just the
bottom half of your window,
allowing the light to come into
your room from the top.

How do I decide
on the right
louver width for
my shutters?

Our shutters come in four different
louvres widths. The wider louvres
let more light into your room when
open, making them a particularly
good choice for larger windows.
Shutters with wider louvres also
have a more contemporary look
and feel, which can look really
dramatic at your windows.
Narrower louvres provide greater
privacy and are ideally suited to
smaller windows.

Are shutters
suitable for a
child’s bedroom?

Shutters are a fantastic choice for
a child’s bedroom or nursery, as
the classic style will stand the test
of time as well as future design
schemes, when your little one
grows up and their room is
redecorated. What’s more,
shutters are inherently safe by
design, as they feature no
operating cords or chains.
