I have had various types of window coverings since 1970 and moved to my new build on year ago and am so glad that I had my whole house dressed with shutters. I chose a beautiful hardbood stained off white so you can see the grain, I have mdf in the bathroom. A few windows could not have shutters, patio doors for example and I chose perfect fit insulating blinds for them
My shutter louvres can onviously be tilted to follow the light, or to keep the sun out. If I need more light then I would just open the shutters, I have never needed to do that. What I particularly like right now is the insulation that I get to keep the house cool inside when it is over 30 out
No more lifting curtians down, no more dust hanging around on curtains. I used shuttercraft and had the very best care with no sales pressure at all. Every window was treated individually with shutters designed for that window
