Benefits of Exterior Shutters
We could go on and on about the benefits of interior shutters. They offer warmth, class, and a timeless style that instantly elevates the interior of any home. And with so many modern shutters, the world is your oyster when it comes to creating a shutter that fits perfectly within your home. This includes genuine wood shutters or alternative wood shutters for homes that are a little more interested in a maintenance-free shutter. However, the beauty of shutters does not end there. In fact, there are many benefits of exterior shutters for homes in the great state of Arizona.
As you know, Arizona is home to some bright sun and very intense heat. In addition to that, we get extreme bouts of rain that toss debris all over the place. Many of us also live in crowded neighborhoods that see a lot of foot traffic and people walking by our windows. This can pose a security risk, especially if we are not home. Fortunately, there are many benefits that exterior shutters offer, including insulation, privacy, and protection. Read on to learn more.
Benefit 1: Added Insulation
As mentioned, the Arizona heat can be quite stifling. If you find that certain rooms in your home are hot no matter how high you crank the AC or how many fans you turn on, then your windows might not be properly insulated. In addition to your current window treatments, one of the benefits of exterior shutters is that they provide even more insulation at your window. This prevents hot air from creeping in and cool air from creeping out. Conversely, this stops warm air from seeping out of our homes during those cooler months. This natural insulation will not only keep your home comfortable all year long, but it also might help lower your energy bills through time. Plus, adding exterior shutters means that you have even greater light control. This means that if you want total darkness, you can pull your exterior shutters and close your interior window treatments to bask in some cool shade.
Benefit 2: Added Security
Usually, home security involves a system that alarms at the door is open or some sort of neat lock system that you can adjust with your smart phone. But when it comes to exterior shutters and security, the topic is slightly different. For example, if you live in a bustling neighborhood with lots of foot traffic, you might not even notice somebody looking into your home. This is especially true if you are not in your house. Fortunately, adding exterior shutters means that you are adding an extra layer of privacy and, in turn, security. This deters any possible robbers from scouting your home. It can also help you feel more secure when you are in your residence.
Benefit 3: Added Curb Appeal
If you decide to sell your home in the future, the best thing you can do for your future self is to make modern changes today. Shutters are a timeless classic when it comes to home design, so they will always be beloved by potential future buyers. For example, Hunter Douglas Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters offer unparalleled durability with their UV- and moisture-resistant Polysatin™ compound and three neutral colors of White, Bright White, and White Silk that instantly elevates your home.
