Why Shutters are Ideal for your Conservatory
Almost one in five households across the UK are now enjoying the benefits of a conservatory. But how can you have all the benefits of uninterrupted views of your garden and neighbourhood while still protecting your privacy, as well as regulating the temperature effectively?
At the Bespoke Shutter Company, we are experts in supplying conservatory shutters. Here we look at the main reasons why these attractive shutters offer the perfect finishing touch for homes in South London, Essex, and Hertfordshire.
They Stop Conservatories Getting Too Hot or Too Cold
One common complaint is that conservatories can quickly become too hot, particularly if they are south-facing. Fortunately, though, shutters can help keep direct sunlight and heat out, but still allow for effective air circulation. All you need to do is adjust the angle of the louvres or panels.
And remember, our made-to-measure shutters can fit any size, shape or angle of window. For instance, you will be able to fit them to cover windows directly overhead and protect you when the sun is at its highest and hottest.
Shutters also act as an effective insulator in winter, keeping the heat in. They stop convection, which occurs when cold air enters your conservatory from the outside, and conduction, where warm air escapes outside.
They Protect What's Inside
Many people have sofas and armchairs into their conservatory to make it somewhere comfortable to chill out and relax in. However, ultraviolet rays of direct sunlight can cause fabrics and upholstery to fade, as well as flooring. Depending on your personal tastes and what you want to put in your conservatory, you may also find that other items, including books and artwork, will also deteriorate over time.
With the solid protection offered by shutters, these problems are avoided. We usually fit plantation shutters in conservatories across London, Hertfordshire and Essex, as these are sleek, stylish and suitable for every size, shape and location.
They're Easy to Clean
Shutters are very easy to maintain, only needing the occasional wipe clean. This is in stark contrast to curtains, which may need regular and expensive dry cleaning to keep them in pristine condition. Even shutters in an unusual position shouldn’t pose a problem – ours can be slid to one side when you don’t need them, which helps with the cleaning of the conservatory windows.
They Offer Privacy and Security
Although one of the attractions of a conservatory is that it lets you admire your garden while staying inside, this could mean that other people can see in too. While you may get on well with your neighbours, it can be rather disconcerting if they can see you relaxing indoors. Shutters will prevent this and give you privacy.
Closing your shutters before you go to bed, or go off to work, will help to deter any would-be thieves. And if you live on, or back on to, a busy street, you should also find that shutters will help your conservatory become a much quieter place too.
They’re a Good Investment
Property experts believe that having a conservatory installed, and particularly one fitted with shutters, could add as much as 15% to your home’s asking price – and help it sell much more quickly – should you ever wish to move.
Even if your conservatory is around the back and not visible from the street, it will still attract admiring glances from would-be buyers.
