How Much Are Plantation Shutters In Houston?

November 21, 2016

Before deciding on plantation shutters for your window treatment project, you’ll probably have questions regarding how they will look, how they’ll add appeal to your Houston home, and how much they will cost. Don’t worry, these louvered shutters look amazing and will add comfort to your living spaces. However, pricing can vary and several factors affect shutter costs in Houston. Recognizing these variables and working with a professional shutter installer will help you receive the most precise shutter price estimate.

What Impacts Plantation Shutter Costs In Houston?

Your Houston home is unique, and so is your shutter installation project. Because all installations are different, there’s not one answer to the question, “How much are plantation shutters?” Instead, converse with your installer to customize your preferred interior shutters and explore how your selections will impact their cost. Here are a few things that can alter final shutter costs.

The Shutter Material

Interior shutters are crafted from natural hardwood or wood composites. The level of quality will vary for both types. To illustrate, you can buy builder-grade faux wood shutters, but you’ll enjoy all the advantages of interior shutters if you choose a superior treatment like Polywood® shutters. Even though the upfront shutter cost is higher, premium Polywood shutters give you unrivaled energy efficiency and last for decades. 

Natural wood shutters also vary in cost. Ask your shutter specialist how their wood shutters are made and how long they will last. Wood shutters are not as long-lasting as engineered wood, so you’ll need to know you’re getting a solid product if you love the time-tested look of wood. 

The Shape And Size Of Your Windows

Typically, interior shutter prices are calculated by square footage, so more substantial window shutters will inevitably carry a higher price tag than those on smaller-sized windows. Understanding the general measurements of your windows can assist you in getting a ballpark estimate, but don’t stress too much about recording measurements. Your installer will get an exact measurement during your consultation. 

Windows with custom shapes might also elevate the price in relation to standard rectangular or square windows, as a higher degree of workmanship is needed to fit the specific dimensions and angles. Custom windows could also need extra installation work, based on the condition of your window frame. But remember, a quality shutter on your arched or octagonal window is worth it when you see how it complements the window’s shape instead of concealing it.

Additional Options

Several other options will impact your shutter cost, such as the design of your frame, the finish, or extra details like hidden tilt rods. These options allow you to design truly one-of-a-kind shutters to complement your living space and particular needs. As you consult with your window treatment specialist, they’ll help you understand how these extra features impact your shutter costs.
