How Much Are Plantation Shutters In Hartford?

November 21, 2016

Before settling on plantation shutters for your window upgrade, you’ll most likely have questions regarding how they will look, how they’ll enhance your Hartford home, and what the cost will be. Rest assured, these louvered shutters look amazing and will add comfort to your home. However, pricing can vary and multiple factors influence shutter costs in Hartford. Understanding these considerations and collaborating with a skilled shutter installer will help you receive the most reliable shutter price estimate.

What Can Affect Plantation Shutter Costs In Hartford?

Your Hartford home is unique, and so is your shutter installation project. Since all installations are different, there’s no single answer to the question, “How much are plantation shutters?” Instead, converse with your advisor to design your ideal interior shutters and explore how your choices will affect their cost. Here are several factors that can affect total shutter costs.

The Shutter Material

Interior shutters are crafted from real hardwood or engineered wood composites. Each of these materials can vary in quality. For instance, you can get contractor-grade faux wood shutters, but you’ll enjoy all the perks of interior shutters if you invest in a higher-quality treatment like Polywood® shutters. Although the initial shutter cost is higher, top-grade Polywood shutters offer unbeatable energy efficiency and last a lifetime. 

Natural wood shutters also range in cost. Ask your shutter advisor how their wood shutters are made and thier expected lifespan. Wood shutters are a little less durable than engineered wood, so you’ll want to know you’re getting your money’s worth if you prefer the traditional look of wood. 

The Shape And Size Of Your Windows

Generally, interior shutter prices are based on square footage, so more substantial window shutters will inevitably have a higher price tag than ones on smaller-sized windows. Knowing the general measurements of your windows can help you get an initial estimate, but don’t get too concerned about taking measurements. Your installer will take precise measurements during your in-home consultation. 

Windows with specialty shapes may also increase the cost relative to conventional square or rectangular windows, as they need more time and effort to fit the specific angles and dimensions. Uniquely shaped windows could also need additional installation work, based on the condition of your existing window frame. But remember, a premium shutter on your circular or triangular window is worth the investment when you see how it complements the window’s shape rather than concealing it.

Additional Ways To Customize

Several other variables may influence your shutter cost, such as your frame style, the finish, or extra details like hidden tilt rods. These customizations let you create truly unique shutters to accommodate your interior and specific preferences. As you collaborate with your advisor, they’ll educate you on how these extra options change your shutter costs.
