November 21, 2016

Before deciding on plantation shutters for your window upgrade, you’ll likely have questions regarding how they operate, how they’ll look, and what the price will be. Rest assured, these louvered shutters look gorgeous and will make your living spaces more comfortable. However, pricing can vary and a few factors influence shutter costs in Fort Myers. Understanding these factors and partnering with a professional shutter installer will help you obtain the most precise shutter price estimate.

What Influences Plantation Shutter Costs In Fort Myers?

Your Fort Myers home is unique, as is your shutter installation. Since all installations are different, there’s not one answer to the inquiry, “How much are plantation shutters?” Instead, meet with your advisor to create your preferred interior shutters and talk about how your choices will impact their cost. Here are some elements that can alter total shutter costs.

The Shutter Material

Plantation shutters are built from natural hardwood or wood composites. The level of quality will vary for both materials. For example, you can find stock faux wood shutters, but you’ll experience all the advantages of interior shutters if you invest in a better treatment like Polywood® shutters. Even though the shutter cost is higher upfront, premium Polywood shutters endure for decades and offer unsurpassed energy efficiency and lower utility bills. 

Natural wood shutters also vary in cost. Speak with your shutter provider about how their wood shutters are constructed and how long they will last. Wood shutters are a little less durable than composite wood, so you’ll want to know you’re getting a solid value if you appreciate the traditional look of wood. 

The Dimensions Of Your Windows

Usually, interior shutter prices are calculated by square footage, so more expansive window shutters will of course have a higher price than ones on small windows. Knowing the approximate measurements of your windows can help you get an initial estimate, but don’t get too concerned about recording measurements. Your installer will get precise dimensions during your in-home consultation. 

Windows with specialty shapes can also elevate the cost in relation to standard rectangular or square windows, as more time and effort is required to match the exact size and shape. Custom windows could also need added installation work, based on the state of your window frame. But remember, a premium shutter on your rounded or triangular window is worth it when you observe how it complements the window shape instead of covering it.

Additional Customizations

Some additional options may affect your shutter cost, such as the type of your frame, the finish, or extra details like hidden tilt rods. These customizations let you design truly custom shutters to match your home and particular goals. As you collaborate with your advisor, they’ll explain how these extra features impact your shutter costs.
