Are you considering a new window treatment for your home this year? If so, we want to put a word into the back of your mind: shutters. And no, we’re not referring to what many of us might think of as shutters. Those outside furnishings that you might see on older farmhouses served their purpose. But they’ve been updated for the 21st Century and are now, in fact, an inside feature. A common type is known as composite shutters. These are great alternatives to other types of window treatments, such as blinds and shades.
Why should a homeowner consider composite shutters? Here are some of our top reasons why this option may be right for your home.
So what makes them a great option for your home? Here are some things to keep in mind as well as a few recommendations.
- Limited Lifetime Warranty
- 100+ Style & Color
- Up to 40% Discount
- Free Measurement & Installation
Composite shutters are highly durable
Durability is not only a desired feature for window treatments but for other parts of your home as well. That’s often one of the first things a homeowner takes into consideration when choosing a furnishing for their home.
Composite shutters are made from various materials that help them withstand the test of time. And, unlike the big box retail counterparts you might see in your local retail store, we only partner with brands that produce high-quality, made-to-last products. Those are Norman, HunterDouglas, and Graber.
Your finishes are only limited by your imagination
With so many benefits, are there any downsides or limitations with customizations? In fact, there are not. That’s one of the things we love so much about composite shutters. Not only do they look great in various home setups and designs, but they also can be tailored to your preferred aesthetic. Our preferred brands have solutions that can accommodate your needs, and you should never feel “boxed in” when considering composite shutters. They’re flexible, customizable, and ideal for everyone.

Composite Shutters are naturally moisture-resistant
Continuing our theme of looking at materials, did you know that some are naturally more resistant to moisture and condensation than others? That’s one thing that makes composite shutters such a great fit for your home. They’re able to withstand moisture with ease, making them perfect options for a home that might lack adequate ventilation.
But, they’re also great for places that tend to have higher humidity in your home too. Those include your kitchen and bathroom areas. Also, if you have a second-story farmhouse, composite shutters are a great option for those upper-level rooms that may tend to get hotter than the lower levels.
Need to save energy? Then consider composite shutters
The benefits don’t stop there, however. Another great feature of composite shutters is that they help you save money on your heating and cooling costs. How exactly?
As it turns out, they’re great at deflecting the sun’s rays. This means that in the hot Virginia summer, you can keep your blinds closed to reduce your cooling energy costs. And, when the weather is cold but the sun is bright, you can open your shutters with ease to let some of the sun’s warming light into your home to help lower your heating expense.
Quality composite shutters, simply put, are an excellent way to save money in the long term through their energy-efficient features and construction.
Cleaning and maintenance are as breezy as the springtime air
Last but not least, virtually everything in your home will need to be cleaned at some point or another. Curtains are challenging since cleaning them often means taking them down from your walls and running them through the washing machine. Then, you sometimes need to both dry and iron them to get the perfect look.
Composite shutters require very little detailed cleaning as their materials make for a very simple process. This makes your routine less cumbersome while keeping your home as sparkling clean as you want it to be.
