When it comes to selecting interior window coverings, the typical considerations involve blinds and drapery treatments, each with its own set of advantages and drawbacks.

However, there exists an alternative—Shutters! 

Beyond the inherent elegance of Eclipse shutters, numerous benefits make them an ideal choice for those seeking window coverings that blend functionality with aesthetic appeal.

Comparison with Curtains and Draperies:

Curtains and draperies vary widely in material, resulting in a spectrum of pricing from budget-friendly to luxurious options. While effective in blocking out air and light when closed, thinner fabrics may compromise privacy. Open drapes allow airflow but provide limited light control, often requiring periodic cleaning, possibly involving dry cleaning based on the fabric.

In contrast, Eclipse® Shutters offer unparalleled control over airflow and light in the room. The tilt bar facilitates adjustments from an open view to complete privacy while enabling continuous air circulation. Maintenance is a breeze, requiring a simple wipe down or in-place wash when needed.

 Comparison with Blinds:

While blinds share similarities with interior shutters, differences in material, appearance, and value set them apart. Blinds provide effective control over privacy and airflow but lack the aesthetic appeal of California or Plantation Shutters. Despite offering minimal insulation and energy efficiency, they fall short in comparison.

 Advantages of Shutters: 

Shutters boast a sleek, streamlined appearance, with adjustable louvres controlled by the center or rear tilt bar, creating a seamless look. Eclipse® Shutters contribute to energy efficiency by blocking the sun's heat during hot months and drafts in colder seasons. Resilient and long-lasting, they endure for up to 25 years with minimal care, resisting UV damage and remaining impervious to water or steam in moisture-prone areas like bathrooms and kitchens. Unlike draperies and blinds, shutters provide comprehensive control over both light and airflow.

Energy Benefits of Eclipse® Shutters:

Eclipse® Shutters stand out for their top-notch energy efficiency. Designed with air pockets in the louvre and frame, they significantly reduce solar heat gain during summer, featuring UV stabilizers for a non-porous surface that reflects sunlight-induced heat. Closing shutters in winter acts as an additional barrier against drafts, enhancing coziness and warmth. The energy-efficient design translates into cost savings on heating and cooling bills by effectively managing sunlight and heat throughout the seasons. During spring and fall, shutter-adjusted louvres regulate airflow, contributing to a more temperature-regulated home and potential savings on utility bills. Choosing shutters becomes a practical and economical decision for homeowners focused on cost reduction and energy conservation.
