2. Window shutters used to be low-tech means of passively controlling the
environment and protecting the home from tempering heat, noise and
pesky privacy intruders. Today, shutters are becoming more functional
and a sensible investment.
Pretty Protection
While adding character to a house’s exterior appeal, shutters also offer
protection from various climate conditions. For locations where storms
are an ever-present concern, floor-to-ceiling storm shutters serve a vital
function, ensuring the roof remains intact and the openings free from
breakage.
Bahama-style shutters are used in southern climates as it provides
maximum amount of shade while promising all-purpose weather
protection and better views.

3. Clever Control
Shutters can also be designed to modulate views to
neighbouring properties and to lend the space privacy.
Smart shutter designs are also able to implement heat-
gain control, which keeps solar radiation out in the
cooling season, and in during the heat for an efficient
home that costs less to live in.
Sliding shutters can also control light and protect the
house from wind and unpleasant weather. They can be
overlapped and stacked to produce a stronger filtering
effect.
No More Noise
Although it is not a primary function of shutters,
many older structures still rely on operable
shutters’ noise-reducing capabilities. While solid
shutters work best for this, louvered shutters
can help deflect sound, too. The louvers can be
angled for maximum privacy and still admit
light.
Apart from proofing the house from noise, it can
also secure exterior openings when the house is
not occupied, especially for vacation homes,
where seasonal use imposes security concerns.

This is a good choice to bounce
sunlight deeper into a space while
still maintaining privacy. The lighter
the colour of the blades, the more
enhanced the bounce effect will be.
Not only are shutters great ways to
dress up a window and up a house’s
street appeal, it also offers a lot of
advantages a bare window would not have been able to offer. Save
energy, enjoy privacy and live in comfort with smart shutters, a
much needed practical advancement in 21st
century interior design.
Window Wizardry
While slightly less effective at controlling heat gain, interior
window shutters offer an easy way to adjust the amount of
light and air entering a space. Plantation shutters are ideal for
fancying up windows with their deep, adjustable blades that
conveniently slide for easier control.
