Five Key Benefits of Café-Style Shutters
Would you like the privacy of shutters, but with plenty of light? Then café-style window shutters could offer the perfect solution.
At Bespoke Shutter Company, we are leading suppliers and installers of café-style window shutters in south London. Here we look at five key advantages of an interior design choice which was first seen in French cafes but is now a popular feature of many homes across the world.
Plenty of Privacy...
The privacy offered by café-style shutters is one of its principal advantages, particularly If your home has a large bay window which opens directly onto the street. It means in large residential areas, such as London, you don’t have to worry about people being able to see directly into your living room or any other part of your home.
Some businesses and healthcare premises also find café-style shutters useful. For instance, solicitors’ offices and GP surgeries often have sensitive personal information about clients or patients which needs to be kept well away from prying eyes.
...and Enough Light Too
Even if you leave your café-style shutters closed, you can still get plenty of light into the room. Remember, they typically only cover the bottom half of a window, so fresh air shouldn’t be a problem either, provided the window itself is open.
You can also adjust the angle of the louvres when the shutters are closed to let more light in. This means you won’t miss out on all the benefits of being exposed to sunlight – it boosts your body’s levels of Vitamin D, helping it fight disease.
Sitting Comfortably
Café-style shutters ensure your privacy when you are inside your home. This means you can enjoy a long soak in the bath or relax in your favourite armchair without worrying about what the outside world will think.
And they are still popular in cafes, bars and restaurants across the world, as customers can sit down and enjoy a quiet meal or drink.
Enjoy All the Other Benefits of Shutters Too
Café-style shutters enjoy many benefits in common with other styles, such as tier-on-tier and full-length shutters. They have the same insulating properties, helping keep your rooms warm in winter and cool in summer, and they also need very little maintenance and cleaning.
Their flat surfaces accumulate less grime than alternatives like curtains, which is good news for people with dust-related allergies. They are also more accessible than full-height shutters, as you don’t need to reach so high to clean them.
A Stylish Addition
These types of shutters also add what estate agents like to call 'kerb appeal'. If you ever want to move, installing café-style shutters will provide a distinctive, continental look to your home. This should help make your home much more desirable, boosting the asking price.
