How Much Are Plantation Shutters In Orlando?

November 21, 2016

Before deciding on plantation shutters for your window upgrade, you’ll likely have questions regarding how they will look, how they’ll enhance your Orlando home, and how much they will cost. Rest assured, these versatile shutters look amazing and will make your living areas more comfortable. However, pricing can vary and several factors impact shutter costs in Orlando. Recognizing these variables and collaborating with an experienced shutter installer will help in getting the most precise shutter price estimate.

What Influences Plantation Shutter Costs In Orlando?

Your Orlando home is unique, just like your shutter installation. Because each installation is different, there’s no definitive answer to the question, “How much are plantation shutters?” Instead, meet with your advisor to create your perfect interior shutters and talk about how your choices will affect their cost. Here are a few factors that can affect total shutter costs.

The Shutter Material

Interior shutters are made from real hardwood or engineered wood composites. Both of these materials can fluctuate in quality. To illustrate, you can buy builder-grade faux wood shutters, but you’ll appreciate all the benefits of interior shutters if you opt for a higher-quality treatment like Polywood® shutters. While the initial shutter cost is higher, top-grade Polywood shutters provide unbeatable energy efficiency and look incredible for decades. 

Natural wood shutters also vary in cost. Ask your shutter advisor how their products are manufactured and treated for longevity. Wood shutters are not as durable as composite wood, so you’ll want to know you’re getting your money’s worth if you prefer the timeless beauty of wood. 

The Shape And Size Of Your Windows

Generally, interior shutters are priced based on square footage, so larger window shutters will naturally carry a higher cost than those on smaller-sized windows. Having the approximate measurements of your windows can help you get a rough estimate, but don’t stress too much about recording measurements. Your installer will get an exact measurement during your consultation. 

Windows with specialty shapes might also elevate the cost relative to standard square or rectangular windows, as a higher degree of craftsmanship is needed to fit the specific shape and size. Specialty windows may also require additional installation work, contingent on the state of your window frame. However, a quality shutter on your hexagon or circular window is worth it when you notice how it accentuates the window shape rather than hiding it.

Additional Options

Some additional choices can affect your shutter cost, such as the style of your frame, the finish, or added functionality like hidden tilt rods. These options let you design truly custom shutters to accommodate your home and your exact goals. As you collaborate with your advisor, they’ll help you understand how these added features affect your shutter costs.
