The two main reasons why home-owners install shutters on the outside of their windows are for decoration and for protection. The addition of wood shutters on a house gives the home a distinctive style and offers climate protection.
Unlike vinyl or aluminum, the properties of wood have strength and insulating abilities for protection from cold and heat. In inclement weather, shutters can be closed to protect windows from flying debris, rain, or snow. In hot climates, shutters also keep out direct sun from heating the interior of the home and from fading furniture and carpets.
Shutters have a decorative appeal too. Different styles of shutters can create a theme for a house: louvered shutters look like a Cape Cod cottage; raised panel shutters give a colonial look; and board and batten looks like rustic country or ranch. Taking the interior decorating theme outside of the house will make the home décor look coordinated and well thought out.
Wood shutters are individually handcrafted and can be made to custom sizes. They may be painted or stained, and are extremely durable and long lasting. Fixed wood shutters are just for decoration, but the addition of pull rings can emphasize the theme that you are trying to achieve. Functional shutters need shutterdogs or tie backs, slide bolts, and hinges in order to operate properly. These hardware items are decorative and add authenticity to the shutter.
Adding extra touches to the exterior of a house will add value and marketability to a home when it is time to sell. In today’s competitive market, sellers need to make their homes look better than the rest. Interior staging, fresh paint, and adding shutters to the windows can give a seller the edge that will bring in the sale they want.

By: gregory van duyse | 20/08/2009 | Martial ArtsHave you ever been watching martial arts movies and thought, "I can do that?" Bruce Lee, Jet Li and Jackie Chan make it all look so easy.
