What Are The Benefits Of Using Shutters Over Curtains?

There are many different options when it comes to window coverings and the type you choose will be entirely dependent on your own personal style and taste, however, window shutters are a fantastic option and have many benefits over other types of window coverings.

Firstly, shutters are incredibly low maintenance. Once installed they require little to no care except a gentle wipe every now and again. As they are usually made from wood, cleaning them is extremely easy and can be done very quickly with minimal effort.

Window shutters also are more durable than curtains. Curtains can be easily torn, stepped on, or pulled off the curtain rail and are prone to fading from sunlight, which can damage them and be expensive to repair or replace.

Shutters are usually fitted to the window and as they are so sturdy, are unlikely to break and do not fade from the sunlight, making them a fantastic long-term investment.

They are also incredibly versatile and can be fitted to most sizes and shapes of windows. Curtains on the other hand may not be suitable for windows that are incredibly tall or shaped as they have to sit on a rail.

Window shutters also give you greater control. You are able to adjust panel shutters to filter as much light and air in as you desire. This allows you to enjoy natural light while still maintaining privacy simply by adjusting the angle of the shutters.

This makes them an excellent choice for areas such as the bedroom and living room as it allows you to enjoy the comfort of your home in privacy without having to go without natural light to do so.

While curtains are a great option, they can often limit what you can do in a space and you only have the option of opening or closing them, whereas shutters can be used in many different ways to suit your needs.

Great service and great shutters both from Amy who quoted and Chris who fitted. I was really hoping they were the most competitive price as I thought Amy was the nicest person I received quotes from by far - and they were.

We had a brilliant experience with Brighton Shutter Company from initial contact through to fitting. Will responded to our contact email promptly and came round to quote within a few days. Our fitter Chris arrived when he said he would, was polite, and was done without any fuss within a few hours. The quality of the shutters is excellent. We wouldn't hesitate to use BSC again.

We ordered our shutters with Will from The Brighton Shutter Company, who was brilliant from the word go. Will took the time to go through all the different styles, colours and variations of shutters that they offer, he helps us design the perfect shutters for both rooms that we wanted all the way down to the little details. He communicated all the way through the manufacturing and delivery process, making sure we were not left out of any details. The installation was just as easy and took no time at all to install. The quality of the shutters are second to non, sturdy top quality timber and no defects or marks. They finish the room off beautifully, so thank you! Would 100% recommend and use when we come to getting more installed later down the line.
