Many individuals prefer interior window shutters to protect the room from sunlight and to provide a traditional, decorative window treatment. This type of shutter is often referred to as “Plantation Shutters.” Many individuals desire these shutters, because they insulate the room. They also possess a high resale value. These types of shutters typically only require a fabric valence or other simple window treatment as an accompaniment. Interior window shutters add curb appeal. Their curb appeal is a result of their consistency in appearance. As people ride by, they will see a consistent display of shutters in the windows.
Most interior shutters must be customized to the window. Therefore, interior window shutters may be slightly more expensive than other fabric window treatments. Interior window shutters are available in natural wood, both light and dark, white, and other neutral colors. Interior window shutters may be left open to give the room full sunlight or closed to provide partial sunlight or no sunlight. Interior window shutters are an excellent addition to bedrooms, elegant studies, dining rooms, family rooms, or any room of the house.
The shutter size and louvers vary. A traditional shutter is 0.75 inches thick with 1.25 inch wide louvers. Plantation shutters are approximately 1.125 inch and wide louvers. As of 2010, individuals may receive a 30 percent tax credit for the purchase of interior window shutters. This credit applies to up to $1500 as a home improvement upgrade. The credit is awarded to home owners because the shutters assist with energy efficiency by insulating the windows. Only “Plantation Style” interior windows qualify for the credit. The shutters must cover the entire window. Cafe style interior window shutters do not fully insulate the home. The interior window shutters must be installed on a primary residence. The tax credit was awarded after experts conducted a study. They found that “full height plantation style shutters with closed louvers result in a 31 percent heat transfer reduction.”
The cost of window shutters may vary. Most home owners must contact an interior window shutter provider in order to receive a quote for a particular home. Window shapes and sizes differ. Therefore, an expert must visit the home to provide a quote based upon the number of windows, window size, custom work and installation. An individual with an arched window will require a custom interior window shutter to be constructed.
