The Best Louver Size for Shutters in Bluff City
There are no shortage of options regarding plantation shutters in Bluff City. Personalize your shutters with choices in material (wood, faux wood, or reclaimed wood), paints or stains( bright whites, neutrals, or wood stains), and frames (traditional, Craftsman, or other decorative options). Finally, you need to pick the perfect louver size for your windows.
So what’s the best louver size for your Bluff City shutters? Let’s take a look at your options.
Options For Shutter Louver Sizes from Sunburst Shutters NW Tennessee
For our custom shutters, Polywood® and Ovation® wood shutters alike, we produce louver size options in 2½ inches, 3½ inches, and 4½ inches. Also consider that some shutter manufacturers will charge a different price for different louver sizes, but Sunburst Shutters NW Tennessee won’t!
2 ½ Inch Shutter Louvers
The thinnest louver size for shutters we offer. Other companies in Bluff City may offer tinier louvers, even as small as 1½ inch or less than an inch. Unfortunately, when you look at the result, you reduce the appeal of shutters, and it can be more difficult to view the outside when they’re apart and they are awkward to clean. When you install window treatments with louvers less than 2½ inches, shutters can also be falsely identified as blinds from a distance, which defeats the purpose.
However, 2½ inch louvers have a clean, “colonial” look to them. The thinner but still clean lines of these shutters provide a simple elegance to your windows, making them ideal for homes that are in the Colonial Revival style, or similar designs like the American Foursquare.
3 ½ Inch Shutter Louvers
3½ inch shutter louvers are the best-selling plantation shutters. While 4½ inches can be a little big for some Bluff City homeowners’ tastes, and 2½ inches can look tight – this 3½ inch option strikes a great medium between the two.
3½ inch louvers are also the most adaptable style for Bluff City shutters. No matter how large your windows are, if they are circle, arched, or diamond, or any other quirk, the louvers don’t bunch up or appear awkward in comparison. This is essential if you want to put shutters in numerous windows in your home. It always looks better when your louver sizes are uniform, so you might try 3½ inch louvers to standardize your Bluff City wood shutters.
4 ½ Inch Shutter Louvers
Our widest louvers clock in at 4½ inches. These louvers help our shutters, whether Polywood faux wood shutters or natural hardwood, stand outl. They also give you the most unobstructed view when opened, since there’s window area between each louver and fewer louvers overall to get in the way. Fewer louvers also makes maintenance a little easier, with fewer louvers to maintain every week.
