November 21, 2016

Before settling on plantation shutters for your window upgrade, you’ll likely have questions regarding how they will look, how they’ll enhance your Atlanta home, and what the cost will be. Rest assured, these louvered shutters look gorgeous and will make your living areas more comfortable. However, pricing can vary and several factors impact shutter costs in Atlanta. Knowing about these considerations and collaborating with an experienced shutter installer will help in obtaining the most accurate shutter price estimate.

What Influences Plantation Shutter Costs In Atlanta?

Your Atlanta home is one-of-a-kind, as is your shutter installation project. Since every installation is different, there’s no definitive answer to the question, “How much are plantation shutters?” Instead, meet with your window treatment specialist to design your ideal interior shutters and discuss how your selections will affect their cost. Here are a few factors that can influence final shutter costs.

The Shutter Material

Plantation shutters are crafted from genuine hardwood or engineered wood composites. Both of these materials can fluctuate in quality. To illustrate, you can get contractor-grade faux wood shutters, but you’ll appreciate all the benefits of interior shutters if you choose a higher-quality treatment like Polywood® shutters. Even though the upfront shutter cost is higher, top-tier Polywood shutters offer unbeatable energy efficiency and last for decades. 

Real wood shutters also differ in cost. Ask your shutter specialist how their products are made and treated for longevity. Wood shutters are a little less durable than faux wood, so you’ll need to know you’re getting a solid product if you love the traditional look of wood. 

The Dimensions Of Your Windows

Usually, interior shutter prices are based on square footage, so larger window shutters will of course carry a higher cost than those on small windows. Knowing the general measurements of your windows can assist you in determining a ballpark estimate, but don’t worry too much about measuring. Your installer will take precise measurements during your window design consultation. 

Windows with specialty shapes can also increase the cost compared to conventional rectangular or square windows, as they demand more time and effort to fit the exact size and shape. Uniquely shaped windows may also call for extra installation work, depending on the condition of your window frame. However, a quality shutter on your circular or hexagonal window is worth it when you observe how it complements the window shape as opposed to hiding it.

Other Ways To Customize

Some other choices will influence your shutter cost, such as the design of your frame, the finish, or added functionality like divider rails. These features allow you to create truly one-of-a-kind shutters to complement your living space and specific needs. As you collaborate with your advisor, they’ll educate you on how these special options impact your shutter costs.
