A Brief Comparison Of Standard And Custom Shutters

Window shutters come in a wide variety of styles and configurations. However, the biggest classification in window shutters is custom and standard shutters. What sets the two apart? In this blog, California Shutters, a leading manufacturer of window shutters in Toronto, explores these differences in detail.

 

Standard Shutters Versus Custom Shutters

 

Standard Window Shutters

 

Standard window shutters are known for their availability and affordability. Since they are designed for standard windows, they are an obvious choice for most residential and commercial properties. However, even though they are standardized, they do offer a lot of choices, namely in the form of shutter materials, colours and styles. Lastly, the main advantage of standard window shutters is their ease of installation. They can be installed quickly and easily in a matter of minutes. All this being said, they are not as effective as custom window shutters.

 

Custom Window Shutters

 

As the name suggests, these are bespoke window shutters that are designed specifically for your window. This means that the shape and size of the window are not a problem. In fact, the more unique the window design is, the better it is to go for a custom shutter as a quality window treatment solution. Moreover, they can also be modified to showcase specific features as per your choice. For instance, if you want shutters with extra insulation or more privacy, custom window shutters can be designed to accommodate it. Furthermore, they also have a wide variety of materials, colours and sizes to choose from. 

 

The only drawback of custom shutters is the cost of production. Due to the high level of specification, manufacturing them can cost more than a standard shutter.

 

Therefore, if you want a quick and affordable solution, standard shutters will suffice. However, if there is a requirement for unique designs, features, sizes, and cost is not a deciding factor, then nothing beats the quality of custom window shutters.
