How Much Are Plantation Shutters In Bluff City?

November 21, 2016

Before deciding on plantation shutters as your window treatment solution, you’ll probably have questions regarding how they operate, how they will look, and how much they will cost. Rest assured, these versatile shutters look amazing and will make your living areas more comfortable. However, pricing will vary and several factors impact shutter costs in Bluff City. Understanding these considerations and partnering with an experienced shutter installer will help you obtain the most reliable shutter price estimate.

What Influences Plantation Shutter Costs In Bluff City?

Your Bluff City home is one-of-a-kind, as is your shutter installation. Since all installations are different, there’s no single answer to the question, “How much are plantation shutters?” Instead, sit down with your advisor to design your perfect interior shutters and talk about how your selections will affect their cost. Here are a few factors that can influence total shutter costs.

The Shutter Material

Interior shutters are made from real hardwood or engineered wood composites. The level of quality will fluctuate for both types. For example, you can get contractor-grade faux wood shutters, but you’ll experience all the advantages of interior shutters if you choose a better treatment like Polywood® shutters. Although the upfront shutter cost is higher, top-grade Polywood shutters last for decades and give you unsurpassed energy efficiency. 

Real wood shutters also vary in cost. Consult with your shutter provider about how their wood shutters are manufactured and how long they will last. Wood shutters are not as long-lasting as composite wood, so you’ll need to know you’re getting a solid value if you love the timeless beauty of wood. 

The Dimensions Of Your Windows

Generally, interior shutters are priced based on square footage, so more expansive window shutters will naturally have a higher cost than ones on smaller windows. Having the approximate measurements of your windows can assist you in getting an initial estimate, but don’t get too concerned about recording measurements. Your installer will take precise measurements during your in-home consultation. 

Windows with unique shapes can also raise the cost relative to standard square or rectangular windows, as more time and effort is required to accommodate the specific shape and size. Specialty windows could also need additional installation work, based on the quality of your window frame. But remember, a stunning custom shutter on your rounded or octagonal window is worth the investment when you see how it accentuates the window shape instead of hiding it.

Additional Options

Some additional options may impact your shutter cost, such as your frame type, the finish, or extra details like split tilt rods. These customizations let you produce truly one-of-a-kind shutters to complement your interior and specific preferences. As you collaborate with your advisor, they’ll explain how these extra features impact your shutter costs.
