November 21, 2016

Before deciding on plantation shutters for your window upgrade, you’ll likely have questions regarding how they work, how they’ll look, and what the cost will be. Don’t worry, these versatile shutters look amazing and will add comfort to your living spaces. However, pricing will vary and a few factors impact shutter costs in San Antonio. Recognizing these variables and collaborating with an experienced shutter installer will help in obtaining the most accurate shutter price estimate.

What Can Affect Plantation Shutter Costs In San Antonio?

Your San Antonio home is distinct, and so is your shutter installation project. Since each installation is different, there’s not one answer to the inquiry, “How much are plantation shutters?” Instead, sit down with your window treatment specialist to design your preferred interior shutters and explore how your choices will change their cost. Here are a few factors that can alter total shutter costs.

The Shutter Material

Interior shutters are made from real hardwood or composite wood substitutes. The quality level will vary for both materials. To illustrate, you can find stock faux wood shutters, but you’ll appreciate all the advantages of interior shutters if you invest in a superior treatment like Polywood® shutters. Even though the initial shutter cost is higher, top-grade Polywood shutters last for decades and give you outstanding energy efficiency and savings. 

Real wood shutters also vary in cost. Speak with your shutter provider about how their wood shutters are constructed and thier expected lifespan. 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 classic look of wood. 

The Shape And Size Of Your Windows

Generally, interior shutter prices are based on square footage, so more expansive window shutters will of course carry a higher price than ones on small windows. Having the general measurements of your windows can assist you in generating an initial estimate, but don’t worry too much about taking measurements. Your installer will take precise measurements during your consultation. 

Windows with specialty shapes can also increase the cost relative to typical rectangular or square windows, as a higher degree of workmanship is needed to match the exact dimensions and angles. Custom windows could also require extra installation work, depending on the quality of your window frame. But remember, a stunning custom shutter on your rounded or hexagonal window is worth it when you notice how it accentuates the window’s shape as opposed to concealing it.

Additional Ways To Customize

Several additional choices may affect your shutter cost, such as your frame type, the finish, or added functionality like divider rails. These customizations enable you to create truly custom shutters to complement your home and specific preferences. As you collaborate with your consultant, they’ll help you understand how these extra options impact your shutter costs.
