What Are the Benefits of Door Shutters?

If we could have it our way here at California Shutters, everyone would have shutters in their home! They are a great interior investment, providing increased privacy, noise reduction, and, or course, oodles of style.

However, did you know that shutters aren’t only used for window coverings? In recent years, customers have increasingly turned to door shutters.

The most common form of door shutters is plantation shutters, which, depending on your preference, can be made into wide, long panels or bi-folds that fold back out of the way.

At California Shutters, we have shutters for patio doors and French doors – a wonderful addition to any home. They’re a great way to maximise your interior space by seamlessly integrating the outdoors with the indoors, give you added privacy within the home, and will blend in with any décor style. Lovely, right?

In this article, we’ll break down all the benefits of shutter doors. So, let’s get started.

Door shutters will usually overlook your garden or patio. They’re a great way to improve your home’s privacy and energy efficiency whilst being a great statement feature to your home. Door shutters have always been around, but this last decade or so has seen a resurgence. Why? Well, they look great for starters, but that’s not the only reason…

One great benefit of incorporating shuttered doors into your home is that they will add another layer of privacy and security without compromising on natural light.

Our door shutters have adjustable slats, allowing you to easily adjust the amount of light that you want entering your home. You can easily fix the slats to block the view from outside, which is great if you’ve got nosy neighbours.

They also help with noise reduction, creating a quieter and more peaceful environment without having to invest in soundproof wall panels or cladding.

Another benefit that may not spring to mind instantly when thinking about door shutters is that they are very energy efficient. In the colder months of winter, door shutters act as an added layer of insulation, trapping heat in rooms and blocking any cold drafts running through your home.

This increased insulation can help heat the home easier and even save you money on energy bills in the long term. So, not only are they stylish, but they’re also cost-effective.

Shutters are a great way to effortlessly upgrade the style of your French and patio doors. Handcrafted with precision and care, our plantation shutters for patio doors are custom-made to fit your specifications.

Full-height styles are particularly popular and can be installed either inside your reveal, allowing the panels to fold back into or outside the reveal, where they can fold back against the wall.
