Interior Shutters
Unlike blinds, shutters are joined to the window frame directly. If you’re wanting to add value to your home, Louver Shop has quite a few beautiful choices. A couple of the advantages of picking interior shutters include:
Sturdy and Long-Lasting
While interior shutters are more expensive to start, they can stick around a lifetime. We recognize our Traditional Shutters are in-demand for a reason. Many years later, we’re one of the last manufacturers who still make them.
Simple Maintenance
Your Louver Shop shutters are assembled with the finest American hardwood to stand up against normal wear and tear. We also have one of the most extensive lifetime guarantees in the trade to assure your shutters stay in first-rate condition.
Increased Insulation
Interior shutters are exceptional insulators and are a fantastic choice for temperature control. We apply an exclusive faux wood polymer in our LouverWood® Shutters. This element is up to three times superior at insulating than conventional wood shutters, and may help you lessen electricity expenses.

Blinds
Blinds are the most frequently used window coverings.
Compared to shutters, they are fixed to the inner part of or above the window recess. They’re also produced in a wider selection of materials, colors and fashions than shutters.
Reflect on these things when picking between blinds and interior shutters:
Cost
Blinds are typically lower in cost than shutters, but our Hunter Douglas blinds don’t give up value for affordable interior design. And some styles are available with helpful motorized operating systems you can regulate with your phone.
Light Control and Privacy
Blinds give you an incredible deal of light control and privacy, whether you want horizontal blinds or vertical blinds. Both styles defend against blinding sunlight. They also help avoid sun damage to your furniture and flooring.
Very Customizable
Blinds are produced in a wide variety of different kinds of fabrics, colors and patterns. With so many things to choose from, Louver Shop will help you design the best look for your home.
