If you asked us to pick the question we hear the most, "How long do plantation shutters last?" would be very high on the list. It makes sense. Shutters are an investment and like any investment, you want to be sure your money is well spent.
In this short blog, we’ll talk about shutter’s timeless appeal, what they’re made from, and ask the question: What is the lifespan of plantation shutters? So, if you have a few minutes, keep reading.
The Timeless Appeal of Plantation Shutters
Unlike a lot of décor trends, wooden window shutters have a certain timeless appeal. Think about it. You don’t look at a set of shutters and think, “Those look very 1970s”. At the same time, a set of shutters on a historical TV show doesn’t look out of place either. See, what did we tell you? Timeless.
It’s this classic design that keeps them stylish regardless of how often you update your home's interior. Switching up your 50s-inspired décor for a more modern and minimalist look? No problem. Your shutters can stay right where they are.
Their enduring style makes them an ideal choice for homeowners looking for long-term value. Plus, they’re no slackers in the looks department either.
How Long Do Plantation Shutters Last?
The lifespan of plantation shutters is one of their biggest selling points. When compared to drapes, blinds, and other window dressings, there’s no competition.
On average, good quality plantation shutters – the only kinds we sell – can last for years, decades even. We’re so confident, in fact, that ever customer gets a 36 month guarantee on every order.
