Hunter Douglas Plantation Shutters for Homes
Winter is quickly coming to an end. While we might spend more time outdoors this coming summer, it is still important to invest in window treatments that work with the desired temperature of your home. That way when you come home from a day outside, you can cool off quickly when you get home. For this, you want to make sure your home is as beautiful and functional as possible, both for your visitors and for yourself. One great way to revamp your home is with new window treatments, and if you aren’t sure what your home’s windows need, we have a great suggestion. Keep reading to let the team at Unusual Designs tell you about the many benefits of Hunter Douglas plantation shutters for homes near Hampton, Virginia.
Benefit #1- They are custom
Windows need window treatments, but they can be difficult to purchase, especially if you have ever purchased prefabricated blinds, shades, or shutters from a home improvement or big box store. No two windows are alike, so trying to find window fashions for your windows from a major corporation that is trying to fit as many windows as possible can be difficult to nearly impossible. Luckily, Hunter Douglas plantation shutters are custom made, only assembled using the exact specifications and measurements of your windows. And you know you will get a perfect fit because our team can even professionally install them for you once they are ready.
Benefit #2- They have choices for every home
Every home has its own unique needs, which can make shopping for window treatments frustrating. But we truly believe that there are Hunter Douglas plantation shutters available for every type of home. The Heritance® collection is made from real wood, bringing your space a sense of traditional elegance. However, if you worry about your ability to maintain real wood, the NewStyle® collection brings you the look of real wood that is blended with manmade materials to create a shutter that is equal parts durable and gorgeous. Lastly, the Palm Beach™ collection is the sturdiest plantation shutter on the market, made from Hunter Douglas Polysatin™ compound, which is guaranteed to never warp, bow, or fade over time due to sun exposure.
Benefit #3- They are beyond convenient
If you are busy assembling Thanksgiving dinner or handing out holiday gifts, you probably don’t have time to fuss over your shutters. Luckily, with Hunter Douglas plantation shutters, you don’t’ have to! The Palm Beach™ collection can be motorized through the Hunter Douglas PowerView® motorization system, allowing you to operate your shutters remotely, or even wholly automate them so that you don’t have to operate them at all.
