Why Plantation Shutters Are Perfect If You Have Children

Plantation Shutters Are Perfect If You Have Children

If you have children, you know the most important consideration when it comes to selecting new window treatments isn’t style or functionality – it is safety and durability. You need to know that your window coverings won’t harm your kids and can endure an active household. In a market saturated with hazardous cords and pulls, plantation shutters stand out as a durable, safe window covering for households with small children.

Designed to Eliminate Risk

Unlike many other window treatments, plantation shutters don’t require hanging strings or cords in order to operate. Most window shutters come with a narrow rod firmly attached to the louvers, which can be used to tilt them open or closed. Higher-end models forego even this operating mechanism, with louvers rotating open or closed at the touch of a finger. This eliminates the need for any hanging cords that children might entangle themselves in.

The fact that installers mount window shutters to a window frame provides yet another layer of security. While free-hanging window treatments look beautiful, curious hands might tug drapes, curtains, and blinds free from their mounts. This can have dangerous and damaging consequences. Plantation shutters, on the other hand, nestle securely into your window frames, safe from grabbing fingers.

Constructed for Durability

Manufactured from hardwood or another solid material, plantation shutters possess tremendous structural integrity. While this durability serves as an asset for any homeowner, it becomes all the more important in households with children. After all, you can’t afford to keep repairing broken blinds or replacing torn curtains. The solid louvers and stiles of window shutters oftentimes prove difficult to damage. On the off chance that one of them gets dislodged, a skilled technician can quickly restore it to an operable position.
