Should You Put Shutters on the Back of the House?

Many homeowners concentrate on the front of the house when choosing shutters, sometimes ignoring the advantages of shutters on the rear windows. At Shutters of Elegance, we think shutters can improve a house's whole exterior, not just the parts that are seen from the street. Let's examine the reasons for thinking about adding shutters to the rear of your property.

Consistent Aesthetic Appeal

Installing shutters on the back of your home is mostly done to keep the overall design of your house consistent. A room can be transformed with shutters' sophisticated and elegant touch. Your house will appear more cohesive and well-designed if shutters are installed on the front and back windows. Large windows that let light flow from the front to the back of your house or an open floor plan can make this consistent style more appealing.

Enhanced Privacy and Security

Shutters provide a great answer to many homeowners' major privacy concerns. Adjustable seclusion offered by shutters lets you manage the amount of light and visibility in your house. Particularly useful is this function for windows facing your patio, garden, or nearby houses. Security shutters, like our Portchester Range, can provide you peace of mind by adding security with their lock and key function.

Greater Energy Efficiency

Another strong argument for installing shutters throughout your house is energy efficiency. Good insulators, shutters keep your house warm in the winter and cool in the summer. For back windows that get direct sunshine, this insulation is helpful because shutters may reduce heat gain and cut your energy costs. Enhancing the energy efficiency of your entire house will save your utility bills and provide a more comfortable living space.

UV Protection and Furniture Preservation

Furniture, floors, and décor can fade and be damaged by direct sunshine. Shutters provide effective UV protection, preserving the longevity and appearance of your interior furnishings. Installing shutters on your rear windows will guarantee that the sun's damaging effects are avoided in every part of your house, preserving the attractiveness of your investment for many years to come.

Versatility and Customisation

Shutters of Elegance has a large selection of shutters that may be made to fit any window, including those at the rear of your home. Whether you want the traditional appearance of wooden shutters or the contemporary appeal of PVC shutters, we have choices to fit your requirements and style. Because our custom shutters are made to order, they will fit your house perfectly and blend in with the overall design.

Customer Experience

Many of our clients begin with just one window and become so enamoured with its appearance and usefulness that they replace every window in the house! Installing shutters on your back windows not only improves the appearance of your house but also offers useful advantages that make living there better all around.
