How Much Are Plantation Shutters In Cleveland?

November 21, 2016

Before deciding on plantation shutters for your window treatment project, you’ll likely have questions about how they will look, how they’ll improve your Cleveland home, and what the price will be. Don’t worry, these louvered shutters look amazing and will add comfort to your living spaces. However, pricing will vary and multiple factors impact shutter costs in Cleveland. Knowing about these variables and collaborating with a skilled shutter installer will help in receiving the most reliable shutter price estimate.

What Influences Plantation Shutter Costs In Cleveland?

Your Cleveland home is unique, and so is your shutter installation. Because all installations are different, there’s not one answer to the question, “How much are plantation shutters?” Instead, meet with your window treatment specialist to customize your perfect interior shutters and discuss how your selections will affect their cost. Here are a few elements that can affect final shutter costs.

The Shutter Material

Plantation shutters are made from natural hardwood or engineered wood composites. The quality level will fluctuate for both types. For instance, you can find builder-grade faux wood shutters, but you’ll experience all the perks of interior shutters if you choose a better product like Polywood® shutters. Even though the initial shutter cost is higher, top-tier Polywood shutters give you unbeatable energy efficiency and last for decades. 

Wood shutters also differ in cost. Ask your shutter specialist how their products are manufactured 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 value if you appreciate the traditional look of wood. 

The Shape And Size Of Your Windows

Generally, interior shutter prices are calculated by square footage, so larger window shutters will inevitably have a higher cost than ones on smaller-sized windows. Knowing the general measurements of your windows can assist you in generating an initial estimate, but don’t get too concerned about recording measurements. Your installer will get an exact measurement during your in-home consultation. 

Windows with custom shapes can also elevate the cost compared to conventional square or rectangular windows, as a higher degree of workmanship is required to accommodate the exact dimensions and angles. Custom windows may also require additional installation work, depending on the condition of your existing window frame. But remember, a quality shutter on your octagon or arched window is worth it when you observe how it celebrates the window shape as opposed to covering it.

Other Options

A few other variables will influence your shutter cost, such as your frame type, the finish, or extras like divider rails. These options allow you to create truly custom shutters to accommodate your interior and your exact needs. As you collaborate with your consultant, they’ll educate you on how these special features impact your shutter costs.
