Are you considering buying
new window coverings? Are you trying to decide between shutters and
curtains? Why should you choose wood shutters over curtains?
Wood shutters are easier to dust and to
keep clean than curtains. A duster will generally do the job for
shutters. Occasionally, you will have to wipe down your wood shutters
with a wet rag. Taking care of curtains is much more difficult.
In order to get your curtains completely clean, you have to take
them down and drive them to the cleaners. You will have to live
without any privacy or hang a sheet over your window until you
can get your curtains back. Then there are the cleaning costs…

| Wood shutters allow you to control the amount
of light, air, and privacy that you have in your rooms. If you have
curtains, you will loose privacy if you open them up even just a little
to let light and air into your rooms. However, shutters can be adjusted
so that you can still get some fresh air and outside light while maintaining
your privacy.
Wood shutters can be painted any color that you like whenever you
like. As an added bonus, you can paint the side of your shutters
that faces outside a different color than the side that faces the
inside of your home. This way, your wood shutters will complement
both the interior and exterior of your home. If you want to change
the color of your curtains, you have to buy a completely new set.
Wood shutters are easy to maintain, allow
you a great deal of privacy, and can be color-coordinated in any
room with the swipe of a paint brush. Wood shutters have it “hands
down” over
curtains.
