Why Plantation Shutters are perfect for Summer
As you have to choose between light and ventilation or privacy, heavy curtains or large roller blinds can be impractical during warmer weather. So, what is the solution? Read on to discover why our experts believe plantation shutters are the perfect shading solution for summer.
What are Plantation Shutters?
Plantation shutters are elegant window shading solutions constructed from wood and boasting attractive horizontal slats that can either be locked in place and immovable or tilted open and closed depending on your preference to give you complete control over light and ventilation. At Broadview, our wide range gives you a huge number of options from the economical Boston-Basswood and polymer coated Seattle Plantation Shutters to the more luxurious Georgia-Basswood and Vancouver Plantation Shutters.
Plantation shutters let the breeze flow
The clever design of plantation shutter slats means you can control the amount, and direction of, sunlight filtering into your room without having to close the window, meaning a refreshing breeze is still able to flow through the shutters to cool you down. You can choose from a range of different sized louvre slats depending on how you intend to use and locate the shutters. For example, if you’d like a lot of shade or want to increase privacy, choose a plantation shutter than has wide slats, whereas if you want to benefit from greater ventilation, you’ll need one that has lots of smaller slats.
Impress with attractive shutters
Plantation shutters are not only a practical shading solution due to their moveable slats but are incredibly stylish and can transform any room into a beautiful, welcoming space. So, when you throw open your doors in the summer months for garden parties and BBQ’s, you can be sure your home will make a wonderful impression on your guests. So you can match your style exactly, Broadview’s plantation shutters are available in a variety of colours and finishes.
