November 21, 2016

Before choosing plantation shutters as your window treatment solution, you’ll most likely have questions regarding how they operate, how they’ll look, and how much they will cost. Don’t worry, these louvered shutters look gorgeous and will add comfort to your home. However, pricing will vary and a few factors affect shutter costs in Charlotte. Recognizing these variables and partnering with a professional shutter installer will help you receive the most reliable shutter price estimate.

What Influences Plantation Shutter Costs In Charlotte?

Your Charlotte home is distinct, and so is your shutter installation. Since all installations are different, there’s no definitive answer to the inquiry, “How much are plantation shutters?” Instead, converse with your advisor to create your preferred interior shutters and explore how your selections will impact their cost. Here are some things that can influence final shutter costs.

The Shutter Material

Interior shutters are built from natural hardwood or composite wood substitutes. The level of quality will fluctuate for both types. For instance, you can buy contractor-grade faux wood shutters, but you’ll experience all the benefits of interior shutters if you choose a higher-quality product like Polywood® shutters. Even though the shutter cost is higher upfront, top-tier Polywood shutters last a lifetime and offer unsurpassed energy efficiency and savings. 

Wood shutters also differ in cost. Talk to your shutter installer about how their wood shutters are constructed and thier expected lifespan. Wood shutters are a little less durable than composite wood, so you’ll want to know you’re getting your money’s worth if you prefer the timeless beauty of wood. 

The Size And Shape Of Your Windows

Usually, interior shutters are priced according to square footage, so more substantial window shutters will naturally have a higher cost than ones on smaller-sized windows. Knowing the general measurements of your windows can help you determine a rough estimate, but don’t worry too much about taking measurements. Your installer will take precise measurements during your in-home consultation. 

Windows with unique shapes may also elevate the cost compared to conventional rectangular or square windows, as more time and effort is needed to fit the specific dimensions and angles. Custom windows could also require added installation work, based on the state of your existing window frame. But keep in mind, a quality shutter on your rounded or octagonal window is worth it when you notice how it complements the window shape rather than hiding it.

Additional Ways To Customize

Several other options will influence your shutter cost, such as your frame type, the finish, or extra details like hidden tilt rods. These features enable you to design truly one-of-a-kind shutters to match your home and specific needs. As you consult with your window treatment specialist, they’ll help you understand how these added options impact your shutter costs.
