Do Shutters Keep Light Out Better Than Blinds?

To be very honest, shutters cannot provide total blackout like blinds do, but when it comes to greater control of light, then shutters certainly are on top of the list. This is why many home owners opt for Plantation Shutters in Penrith and other areas, as they provide greater control of both light and privacy for the home.

Shutters are able to fit closely with the window and leaves no room for gaps on any side, unlike when installing blinds such as Vertical Blinds in Sydney homes, hence they are able to cover all sides of the window, which is why they are also great at insulating a room. In addition, plantation shutters offer greater durability, easier cleaning and maintenance and have the ability to seamless fit into any size or shape window. It is the ideal option for odd shaped or sized windows in the home.

Of course, if you really do want a blackout option and still want to have the classic and elegant plantation shutters installed, then you would have to go for a combination of plantation shutters and curtains or place blackout blinds behind the shutters to achieve this. This would mean an additional cost for you though, since you would have to spend on two types of window treatments just for one single window, and remember plantation shutters in Penrith and elsewhere do cost slightly more than other types of window treatments, although overall they are very cost effective as they are one of the most durable types of window coverings around.

If you really are undecided whether to go for blinds or shutters regarding light control in your home, then speak to one of the very reputable vendors of blinds and shutters around or even an interior designer, and they will be able to give you the best advise considering your specific requirement.
