The Bold and the Beautiful: Making a Statement with Custom Shutters in Toronto

Over the years, the use of shutters has gone beyond protection from outside elements. They are also very popular in providing effective decoration to any home, both for interior and exterior applications. Custom shutters in Toronto provide an opportunity for designers to add character to a home and show off their skills.

 

Design and installation can be customized, and manufacturing ranges from complex to simple. Customization allows you as a homeowner to have more say in how they complement your décor, windows and budget. Custom shutters in Toronto can help you achieve that missing touch of elegance.  These shutters can be made to either stand out or blend into the existing decor of your place, be it traditionally classic or modern.

 

Custom shutters in Toronto homes also help provide excellent energy efficiency, thanks to their insulating properties that can help you stay cool during summer and warm in winter.

 

In the long term this results in lower energy consumption and thus reduced electricity bills. Other benefits include all the advantages that standard shutters bring such as the ability to control the amount of light coming in and the option for complete privacy. However, you have to keep in mind that apart from the aesthetic value that custom shutters in Toronto provide, functionality is still very important. High quality shutters will have the following characteristics:

 

• Solid louvers or slats for maximum insulation and secured with tension control pins
• High quality material grade for durability and thick wall for strength
• Consistently sized rail, panel and stile for aesthetic purposes
  • A stile is the vertical part of your window frame
• Heavy duty leaf hinges to avoid wobbly panels
• Internal gears for full view
• Solid and stable tilt bar mechanism and stapling system
• Textured and smooth finish
• Limited lifetime warranty
