Caring For Wood Shutters in Portsmouth, NH

Filed under: Maintenance, Wood Shutters — Tags: , , , — admin @ 1:52 pm

Wood plantation shutters are some of the easiest window treatments to care for. A simple feather duster or brush attachment on your vaccum is all of the maintenance you will generally need.

If the louvers seem a little loose or droop when you tilt them open, you can easily adjust the tension. Just swing the shutter open, and you will see a small hole near the center of the panel. There is a screw inside of that hole that goes into the louver. Hold onto that louver and fit a screwdriver into the hole. Generally just a small twist is all you will need to set the tension perfectly. You can learn more about maintaining your shutters at http://excitingwindows.net/content/shutters/shutter_care.php

Plantation Shutters

Plantation Shutters are among the most popular form of window treatments available today. When quality wood shutters are installed properly, they become an extension to the architecture, adding a timeless beauty that cannot be matched by any other form of window covering. The ease of light and privacy control, low maintenance and investment value are several other reasons for the strong interest in shutters.

Shutters are available in a number of different materials, styles and louver sizes. Shutters can be found in solid vinyl, vinyl coated wood, and various wood species. Traditional or colonial shutters are available with 1 1/4″ louvers to accent historically accurate homes.

Plantation style shutters are the most popular with louvers available in 1 7/8″, 2 1/2″, 3 1/2″, 4 1/2″ and 5 1/2″. The larger louver sizes allow more light to shine through the opening when the louvers are open, giving an almost unobstructed view of the outside.

Properly designed and installed plantation shutters will add beauty andvalue to any home for many years. Our preferred manufacturer of shutters is Kirtz Shutters, made in Stillwater, OK. These craftsmen build shutters from furniture grade woods in any shape of window made. See the beauty of this amazing product at www.kirtz.com or at www.excitingwindows.net.
