Choosing the right material for your window shutters in Farnham

Transform your home with custom window shutters

We know that finding the right shutters can be quite the task, especially when you want something that not only adds charm to your home but also lasts for years to come.

When selecting materials for your window shutters in Farnham, several factors should be taken into account to ensure you make the right choice for your specific needs and preferences.

Here are some of the important factors to consider.

Durability and weather resistance – Look for shutters made from durable and weather-resistant materials such as hardwood (e.g., oak, teak) or high-quality synthetic materials (e.g., PVC, composite). These materials should be able to handle moisture, UV exposure, and temperature fluctuations without warping, cracking, or fading.
Aesthetic appeal and style – Wooden shutters offer a classic and elegant look, while PVC or composite shutters might provide a more contemporary feel. Match the material of your window shutters in Farnham to your home’s architecture and decor for a cohesive and appealing look.
Insulation and energy efficiency – Window shutters can impact your home’s insulation and energy efficiency. Wooden shutters, particularly those with thicker slats, can provide better insulation, helping to keep your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer. If energy efficiency is a priority, consider shutters with insulating properties to reduce heating and cooling costs.
Maintenance and longevity – Different materials require varying levels of maintenance. Wooden shutters may need more frequent upkeep, such as periodic painting or sealing, to preserve their appearance and protect against moisture. On the other hand, synthetic materials often require less maintenance and can be easier to clean. Consider your willingness to invest time and effort into maintaining the shutters and choose materials that align with your maintenance preferences.
Budget and cost – The cost of window shutters in Farnham can vary significantly depending on the material chosen. Wooden shutters tend to be more expensive than PVC or composite alternatives. Set a budget for your window shutters and explore the options that fit within it.

  We had wooden shutters sourced and installed by Norbert at Bright Light Shutters  earlier this month… and we are thrilled with the quality! They’re perfectly fitted to our bay window and look beautiful. Norbert installed them very quickly, was very tidy and professional throughout. Of the five local companies we asked for quotes from, Norbert’s was the best value… but it was the 5 star reviews that convinced us. We would highly recommend Norbert and Bright Light Shutters!

  From first contact to completion of the job, Norbert and his team were nothing but a joy to deal with and very professional.

We chose to do the entire first floor and absolutely love the way it’s transformed all the bedrooms.

Would highly recommend these guys!

  Great service for a fair price. We needed blinds in our conservatory, for the glass roof and windows. The blinds have arrived earlier than originally quoted and the job was completed not long after to a very high standard. Great communication during the whole process. Highly recommended.

  Delighted with the shutters - upstairs and downstairs. Great advice about half solid/half shutters downstairs where we need to keep the cold out. Really tidy on installation day & great service overall.
