November 21, 2016

Before settling on plantation shutters for your window upgrade, you’ll probably have questions about how they will look, how they’ll improve your New York home, and what the cost will be. Be assured, these louvered shutters look incredible and will make your living spaces more comfortable. However, pricing will vary and a few factors affect shutter costs in New York. Knowing about these considerations and partnering with a skilled shutter installer will help in getting the most reliable shutter price estimate.

What Impacts Plantation Shutter Costs In New York?

Your New York home is unique, just like your shutter installation project. Since all installations are different, there’s no single answer to the inquiry, “How much are plantation shutters?” Instead, sit down with your window treatment specialist to customize your preferred interior shutters and explore how your selections will change their cost. Here are a few factors that can alter total shutter costs.

The Shutter Material

Interior shutters are made from natural hardwood or wood composites. The level of quality will fluctuate for both types. For instance, you can find builder-grade faux wood shutters, but you’ll enjoy all the advantages of interior shutters if you opt for a better window treatment like Polywood® shutters. While the upfront shutter cost is higher, top-grade Polywood shutters offer unrivaled energy efficiency and last for decades. 

Wood shutters also differ in cost. Consult with your shutter provider about how their wood shutters are manufactured and thier expected lifespan. Wood shutters are not as durable as composite wood, so you’ll need to know you’re getting a solid value if you appreciate the classic look of wood. 

The Size And Shape Of Your Windows

Generally, interior shutter prices are calculated by square footage, so more substantial window shutters will naturally carry a higher price tag than those on smaller windows. Understanding the general measurements of your windows can assist you in generating a rough estimate, but don’t worry too much about taking measurements. Your installer will get precise dimensions during your in-home consultation. 

Windows with unique shapes might also elevate the cost in relation to standard square or rectangular windows, as they need more time and effort to accommodate the unique dimensions and angles. Custom windows may also call for extra installation work, depending on the condition of your existing window frame. But remember, a stunning custom shutter on your arched or octagonal window is worthwhile when you see how it celebrates the window shape instead of hiding it.

Additional Ways To Customize

A few other choices can affect your shutter cost, such as the design of your frame, the finish, or extras like divider rails. These customizations enable you to produce truly custom shutters to match your living space and particular preferences. As you work with your advisor, they’ll help you understand how these added options impact your shutter costs.
