Why White Shutters are the Premiere Shutter Color in New Brunswick
Why is white the most popular color for plantation shutters? Let’s take a look at some of the reasons why white shutters have been a New Brunswick window cornerstone for so many years.
White Shutters Are Timeless
Top quality shutters such as Polywood® plantation shutters are designed to last years and years, so white is an ideal color option. Why? Because white furnishings are timeless, and always in style. No matter what new color trends appear or disappear over time, white will always complement them. And whether your home has very intricate or very basic design, the timeless look and clean lines of white plantation shutters fit in without a hitch.
Still need proof? Simply take a look at the different styles of houses that make use of white plantation shutters. Tudor style, mid-century modern, ranch, Cape Cod, and several other home styles all frequently utilize white shutters in their design. It’s obvious that white shutters span generations.
White Shutters Maximize Energy Efficiency
One of the premier benefits of plantation shutters is their unmatched energy efficiency. Polywood shutters are able to block up to 30 of temperature that moves through your window, and there’s no more effective window treatment available anywhere.
So what difference does color make? You may already know that lighter shades reflect heat, while darker colors absorb it. That means that a white shutter won’t let heat easily pass into your house, unlike a dark color. If you’ve ever stepped out onto a faux-wood deck that’s been baking in the sun, you’re aware of how much heat it can accumulate. The darker the color of your shutter, the more heat it will absorb and pass through into your house.
White Shutters Give You Design Freedom
Your New Brunswick home is a reflection of yourself, so the ability to fully express yourself through your home design is important. Very few window treatments offer the same design freedom that white plantation shutters do. Here’s why.
-
White is one of the most versatile neutral tones. That means it won’t complicate a color pattern, so you aren’t forced into a certain palette in your space.
-
White shutters let you break “the rules.” You may have been told to exactly match your window treatments to the window trim, but with white shutters that isn’t always necessary. Since white complements every other color, they can seamlessly fit alongside non-white trim.
-
If you need to pair different window treatments, white plantation shutters provide a great contrast to different colors of curtains, drapes, and other fabric window treatments.
