Myths around plantation shutters that are worth debunking

1)Myth: Plantation shutters are expensive.

Reality: While it’s true that plantation shutters can be more expensive than other window treatments, they are also more durable and can last for many years. Additionally, there are many options available at different price points, so it’s possible to find affordable plantation shutters that fit your budget.

2)Myth: Plantation shutters are difficult to clean.

Reality: Plantation shutters are actually quite easy to clean, especially compared to other window treatments like curtains or blinds. Simply wipe them down with a damp cloth or use a vacuum attachment to remove any dust or debris.

3)Myth: Plantation shutters only work in traditional or rustic homes.

Reality: Plantation shutters come in a variety of styles and finishes, so they can work well in a range of homes, from traditional to modern. You can choose from different materials like wood, vinyl or composite, and even customize the color to match your decor.

4)Myth: Plantation shutters block out too much light.

Reality: Plantation shutters can actually provide a lot of flexibility in terms of light control. You can adjust the slats to let in as much or as little light as you want, and some shutters even have hidden tilt rods for a more streamlined look.
