How Much Are Plantation Shutters In Riverside?

November 21, 2016

Before choosing plantation shutters for your window upgrade, you’ll most likely have questions regarding how they operate, how they will look, and how much they will cost. Don’t worry, these versatile shutters look amazing and will make your home more comfortable. However, pricing can fluctuate and multiple factors affect shutter costs in Riverside. Understanding these considerations and partnering with an experienced shutter installer will help you obtain the most accurate shutter price estimate.

What Can Affect Plantation Shutter Costs In Riverside?

Your Riverside home is one-of-a-kind, as is your shutter installation. Since each installation is different, there’s no single answer to the inquiry, “How much are plantation shutters?” Instead, converse with your advisor to create your preferred interior shutters and discuss how your selections will change their cost. Here are several elements that can affect total shutter costs.

The Shutter Material

Interior shutters are built from natural hardwood or composite wood substitutes. The level of quality will fluctuate for both materials. To illustrate, you can get builder-grade faux wood shutters, but you’ll enjoy all the perks of interior shutters if you choose a better product like Polywood® shutters. Although the initial shutter cost is higher, top-grade Polywood shutters provide unbeatable energy efficiency and look incredible for decades. 

Wood shutters also differ in cost. Ask your shutter installer how their products are manufactured and thier expected lifespan. Wood shutters are not as long-lasting as faux wood, so you’ll want to know you’re getting a solid product if you prefer the time-tested look of wood. 

The Size And Shape Of Your Windows

Typically, interior shutters are priced according to square footage, so more substantial window shutters will of course carry a higher price than those on smaller windows. Knowing the general measurements of your windows can help you generate a ballpark estimate, but don’t worry too much about recording measurements. Your installer will take precise measurements during your in-home consultation. 

Windows with unique shapes might also raise the price relative to typical rectangular or square windows, as a higher degree of workmanship is required to accommodate the exact angles and dimensions. Custom windows could also call for extra installation work, contingent on the quality of your window frame. However, a quality shutter on your octagon or rounded window is worthwhile when you see how it complements the window shape as opposed to concealing it.

Additional Options

Several additional variables may impact your shutter cost, such as the design of your frame, the finish, or extra details like split tilt rods. These customizations let you produce truly unique shutters to match your living space and your exact goals. As you consult with your window treatment specialist, they’ll explain how these special options affect your shutter costs.
