4. Great for allergy sufferers

With other window dressings, such as curtains or roller blinds, dust can get caught in the fabric, which is a huge contributor to allergies. Cleaning curtains can be very time consuming and costly in removing them from the windows and dry cleaning costs. Some fabric blinds cannot be cleaned thoroughly and have many cords and difficult corners which also trap dust. Shutters are perfect as they are easy to keep clean, preventing a build-up of allergens and dust mites.

5. Shutters are easy to clean

Shutters are easy to clean using either a brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner or by using a feather duster or microfibre cloth. Plastic or MDF shutters have a surface that is particularly easy to wipe clean, which are a popular choice for playrooms, hotel rooms and rental properties where constant cleaning may be required.

7. Control of light and privacy

Shutters allow full access to expose the windows by simply folding back the shutter panels. On the other hand, for total privacy you can completely close the panels and louvres to totally shut yourself off. The uniqueness of the louvres is what makes shutters extremely functional, they can be fully open for maximum natural light whilst still retaining a certain level of privacy. They are completely adjustable so can be altered at different times of the day.
