We are now able to offer Plantation shutters for UPVC windows and doors. At this stage there are two colour options. Because of the sheer weight of normal planation shutters, these have been designed to reduce weight and continue to support the tilt and turn functionality of the uPVC window. They are attached with the same unique bracket system requiring no drilling of the uPVC window. Plantation shutters are versatile and can be fitted to various types of uPVC windows, including those made of uPVC (unplasticized polyvinyl chloride) and aluminum windows, which is a common material used for windows and doors. Here are some key points to consider:
- Customization: Plantation shutters can be custom-made to fit uPVC windows, regardless of their size or shape. This ensures a perfect fit and seamless integration with the window frame.
- Material Compatibility: Plantation shutters are available in various materials, including wood, composite, and PVC. While wooden shutters are popular for their classic look and durability, PVC shutters are specifically designed for environments with high humidity or moisture, making them suitable for uPVC windows.
- Installation: Plantation shutters can be installed directly onto the uPVC window frame using various mounting options, such as frame mounts or hinge mounts. Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper alignment and functionality.
- Aesthetic Appeal: Plantation shutters add a touch of elegance and sophistication to uPVC windows, enhancing the overall appearance of the room. They come in a variety of styles, colors, and finishes to complement any decor scheme.
- Functionality: Plantation shutters offer excellent light control, privacy, and insulation benefits, regardless of the type of window they are installed on. The adjustable louvers allow for easy customization of light and airflow, while providing privacy from the outside.
- Maintenance: Plantation shutters are relatively easy to clean and maintain, making them a practical choice for uPVC windows. Regular dusting and occasional wiping with a damp cloth are usually sufficient to keep them looking their best.
Overall, plantation shutters are a versatile and stylish window treatment option that can be successfully installed on uPVC windows, offering homeowners both aesthetic and functional benefits.
