Finding Plantation Shutter Costs in Orlando
There are several reasons why Orlando homeowners purchase plantation shutters. Their elegant looks, best in class energy efficiency, and discriminating light control are all perks of picking shutters as a window treatment. But when you’re planning a home improvement project, you want to be aware of final costs. “How much will plantation shutters cost?” is one of the questions we field often during a consultation.
Because each Orlando home is one of a kind and there is such a variety of shutter options to choose from, it’s difficult to give a solid answer to that question before the project is fully appraised, and if a window treatment company gives a direct price without asking about your specific needs and wants, you may not end up with what you were looking for.
If you know the variables that can have an effect on the cost of your shutter project, you can come up with a good approximation of your final cost. Let’s take a look at those variables.
What Influences Plantation Shutter Costs?
Because all of our plantation shutters are custom-made for the windows in your house, the cost can fluctuate according to your home’s unique needs. Here are a few factors that can have an effect on the cost of your shutters.
The Material Of Your Plantation Shutters
Our four types of plantation shutters are all made from different materials. Polywood® plantation shutters and Sunburst’s brand-new Studio™ shutters are constructed from a faux-wood compound, Ovation® wood shutters are made from natural hardwood, and Reclaimed Wood shutters are constructed from recycled lumber.
Among our shutters, Studio shutters tend to be the most budget-friendly, because they are designed especially to be the best marriage of value and convenience. Polywood plantation shutters are also cost-effective, since Polywood is 100% made in the USA, erasing costs associated with amassing and transporting natural lumber.
The Measurements of Your Windows
For the most part, plantation shutters are priced based on square-footage, so naturally bigger window shutters will come with a higher price tag than those on small windows. Knowing the basic measurements of your windows might help you come up with an initial estimate, but don’t concern yourself too much with measuring–our crew will get an exact measurement for you during your free in-home consultation.
There exist a couple of other factors that might impact your shutter cost such as frame style, the shutter finish you want, or additional options like hidden tilt rods.
The heart of the matter is that there is such a large number of variables that can drive the price that asking “what’s the price of shutters?” may be doing yourself a disservice by obscuring the whole picture.
Plantation Shutters - Perks Worth Investing In
When compared to different window treatments available in Orlando, it’s true that plantation shutters may require you to invest a little more. Though if you think about the numerous perks that only plantation shutters provide, the investment becomes remarkably attractive.
Energy Efficiency - Only plantation shutters offer top-notch insulation and energy efficiency. Polywood shutters on their own are able to block up to half of all heat transfer from your windows, while other window treatments can’t even approximate that degree of protection. That results in dollars saved on your home HVAC bills over time.
Lastingness - What’s the average lifespan of a set of blinds or shades? A couple of, maybe longer, if you’re extremely fortunate. Every time you have to replace one of those cheap window treatments is extra money out of your pocket and extra time taken from you schedule. When you purchase plantation shutters on your windows, you can be sure that you’re putting in a window treatment that can last a lifetime. We guarantee it.
Home Value - Homebuyers do their research, and they know the perks of plantation shutters. That’s why, just like stunning new appliances or gorgeous tile floors, plantation shutters can improve home resale value.
Looks - Maybe more than any other reason, plantation shutters are chosen because they just look fantastic. No other window treatment can compare to timeless aesthetic or the particular look and crisp elegance as shutters.
