5 Decisions To Consider When Ordering Plantation Shutters In New York
Ordering plantation shutters for your New York home is a substantial investment. You’ll want to look for value in functionality, energy savings, and beauty. But before you begin calling up shutter stores, there are some things to consider about window shutters. Read about these 5 decisions you’ll have to make when ordering plantation shutters in New York City, NY.
Plantation Shutters Louver Size
Louvers are the horizontal components of a shutter that tilt to let as much or as little of the light and view in. Plantation shutters are available in three different louver sizes to choose from. The 4.5” is the widest louver. It’s our best selling louver size in the New York area because it provides the most sunlight and scenery - and it’s a breeze to dust.
Louvers at 3.5” and 2.5” of width lead to more louvers on the window. These shutters end up with a smaller viewing area and may take longer to clean. Don’t forget about louver sizes when purchasing indoor shutters.
Plantation Shutters Frame Style
Plantation shutters are placed on a window thanks to a frame. The shutter frame that borders the panel adds another way to personalize the window treatment. Some frames look and fit better with the style of window in your home. Preview some of the frame styles that can be yours.
Contact a shutter professional about the styles of frames provided in your town - and find out if an inside or outside mount is a better fit for the window.
Plantation Shutters Tilt Rod
A shutter tilt rod is the perpendicular component that makes it possible to control the shutters all at once. One of your options is mounting the tilt bar on the front. This popular tilt rod is placed on the front of the shutter panel. To adjust the shutter louvers, simply adjust the tilt rod.
