When it comes to making the choice of what to use for interior window coverings in Florida, most people consider blinds and/or drapery treatments. Both have their pros and cons, although there's another option that usually wins hands down - Indoor plantation Shutters! With their crisp, elegant look and a variety of advantages and benefits, shutters are the perfect solution for those who want their window coverings to be both functional, long lasting and aesthetically pleasing.

SHUTTERS OR DRAPES IN FLORIDA

Depending on the material they're made from, curtains and draperies range from the most inexpensive option for window coverings, to the most expensive. However, they also have the fewest benefits. When draperies are closed, they block out most of air and light and they do offer ample privacy; however draperies made out of thinner fabrics may provide less privacy. Open drapes allow air flow, however the disadvantage is that there is little light control. Open curtains offer no privacy whatsoever, often allowing others to see straight into the house from the street. They tend to attract dust and generally need cleaning at least twice per year. Depending on the fabric, dry cleaning might be necessary.
Alternately, Shutters offer complete control of how much airflow and light enter a room. The tilt-bar allows the louvers to be adjusted from a clear and open view to total privacy, while still allowing air to flow freely. Unlike wood shutters, faux-wood Shutters are very easy to care for, as they can simply be wiped down or washed in place as necessary.

SHUTTERS OR BLINDS
​
Blinds are similar to interior shutters, but differ greatly in material, look and value. Blinds do offer more control than curtains when it comes to privacy and airflow, but simply don't compare to California or Plantation shutters when considering aesthetics. In addition, because of their construction, they offer minimal insulation and energy efficiency benefits.
