Which One to Go for? Let’s say you are given the choice between two different types of window treatments; let’s make window shutters and roller blinds comparison as two potential options. Various details and decorations play an important role when it comes to decorating the living space and are subject to a lot of effort and attention invested. When it comes to windows decorations, they appear in the form of curtains, blinds, shutters... Roller Blinds Roller window blinds are very easy to adjust to any window size. They can be found in various colors and at very reasonable prices. They are used to control how much light you need in the room while in winter you may be somewhat protected from the cold. The way you can control the amount of light that can penetrate into the room helps you to protect furniture that is exposed to direct sunlight and fades over time. There are basically no tricks or secrets when it comes to their maintenance, everything is very clear and simple. You can vacuum dust or wipe with a damp cloth. In areas where they are exposed to large amounts of dust, dirt or grease like in the kitchen, the best and easiest way is to remove them, wash and hang them back. Roller blinds are economical, they look elegant and create a pleasant and comfortable atmosphere in the room in which they are located, in addition to one of the most adequate means of protection for your windows. Shutters The oldest and most usual way to shade any room in your home is with window shutters. They can be positioned on the outside of windows and doors in their openings. They can be made of wood, aluminum, plastic… Plastic ones are much cheaper than wooden ones but are not recommended for large openings with excessive sun exposure, since in this case they have a shorter lifespan. Wooden shutters are usually made of slats. Each wooden slat results in excellent sound and thermal insulation. They can be raised and lowered with the help of straps or ropes and machines fixed to the inside of the window. What Do Shutters Provide • In the summer, they can maintain pleasant, mild temperatures in the room so sometimes there is no need to include any cooling device. • In the winter you can save on electricity consumption. • The windows are protected from adverse weather conditions like storms. • They prevent curious glances and at the same cannot be picked up from the outside which automatically provides protection against burglary. • When it comes to sound insulation with quality wooden shutters you can have your peace and quiet. Installation of Shutters They are placed on the outside or the inside. Indoor installation is performed during the construction of the building while the exterior one is done after installing windows. For opening and closing your window treatments, in addition to manual mode, they can be fitted with electric remote control. How to Maintain Shutters With quality window coverings, you have solved the issue of protecting your windows for a very long time. With regular cleaning they will look like they are brand new. The use of aggressive detergents is not recommended because it can damage them. Just use a soft cloth or sponge, warm water and a mild detergent if necessary in order of avoiding damage to the material. After taking all into consideration, I would go for wooden shutters over roller blinds, because of their longevity and protective features.
