7 Reasons to Love Shutters

Hours

Shutters are outstanding in more ways than one. Between their sleek, beautiful look, cost-saving energy benefits, and the added home value, it’s easy to see why shutters are worth the investment. Read on to learn why we love shutters, and why you should too.

7 Reasons to Love Eclipse Shutters

  1. Shutters are perfect when you need a lot of light, or when you want to darken a room. The louvers on our shutters allow a lot of light to shine through when they’re open and privacy when they’re closed. Choose the 4 1/2″ louver for the largest view to the outside.
  2. The cleaning process is more streamlined than other window treatments: simply wipe them down with a dusting cloth and you’re done. If you see any dirt and grime, you can also wipe them down with a wet cloth and water, since they are water resistant.
  3. There aren’t any cords or strings to worry about. The tilt bar or rear tilt will never get tangled and become a hazard like a pull cord can.
  4. Shutters can help you save money on your energy bills. This window treatment helps trap the heat inside when it’s cold and keeps the cold on the inside when it’s warm, effectively working with your HVAC system to control the temperature in your home.
    • Eclipse Shutters are designed with pockets of air built straight into both the frame and the louver, allowing them to reduce solar heat gain during hotter months and keep colder air outside during winter months. They also protect against harmful UV rays, reflecting them outside instead of absorbing them into the interior of your home.
  5. Shutters give any room that extra dose of style. They can transform an otherwise bland room into a great-looking space. They provide more than just a window dressing; they are decor for your windows!
  6. Upgrading to high-quality shutters will increase the value of your home. When potential buyers see them, they’ll know right away that you’ve invested in your home.
  7. Eclipse shutters do not warp, bend, peel or crack because they’re built with the best materials for shutter design, and are made with ultra-precise machinery. And, with our new UltraSatin™ finish, they will never need to be repainted or refinished.

Investing in high-quality shutters shouldn’t just be considered purely for the aesthetic appeal – they should be considered because they’ll benefit you in more ways than one.

Get a Unique Look by Using Shutters as Doors

Hours

The best way to create a unique look for your home is by going against some conventions. You can do this by finding creative uses for commonly used materials and fixtures. For example, you should consider using shutters as doors when remodeling your home.

Shutters as Closet Doors

Homeowners have a tendency to overlook the closet doors of their home when remodeling. In most homes, closet doors are forgotten when it comes to the aesthetic appeal of a room. If you are purchasing shutters, don’t forget to consider installing them on your closets as well for a custom look. By using closet doors equipped with shutters, you’ll streamline the look of any room and add architectural interest where there was none before. Tightly shut louvers will block the closet’s contents from view. Eclipse Shutters offers a Bi-Fold track system is commonly used for closet doors and allows the shutters to slide and fold to an open position. If a handle is desired, the Deluxe Divider Rail is the perfect solution for opening and closing shutters used on closet doors. This track system is designed to accommodate window and door openings from 24″ to 192″ wide and 20″ to 120″ high.

 

Shutters as Patio Doors

Another way in which you can incorporate shutters into the doors of your home is by installing them to be used as patio doors. For French doors that will lead into a master suit or patio doors that lead to an exterior porch area, shutters are an excellent choice. Eclipse shutters are custom made to solve your particular design needs with a contoured design that will accommodate all of the latest door handles. With a view to the outdoors, keeping the louvers open is a nice option that really opens up a room.

Advantages of Interior Shutters

Besides the aesthetic appeal, there are many advantages of having interior shutters installed in your home. The main advantage is that interior shutters make your home more energy efficient. Eclipse Shutters have pockets of air designed into the louver and frame parts. This construction reduces solar heat gain during the summer months and provides excellent insulation during the winter months, making these shutters extremely energy efficient. Ultraviolet protection reflects the suns strong rays instead of being absorbed into the home. Another advantage is that Eclipse shutters are very easy to care for and require minimal maintenance. Best of all, Eclipse Shutters are resistant to water, so you don’t have to worry about windows and doors located in high humidity areas becoming damaged.

Shutters Boost Privacy in Any Setting

Shutters Boost Privacy in Any Setting

Hours

Privacy, whether at home or at work, is highly-prized but not often achieved. Privacy begins with a state of mind and grows to include physical surroundings. With 79% of the U.S. population living in urban areas and population density being between 2,300 (Ketchikan, Alaska) and 69,000+ (Manhattan, New York) in incorporated cities, gaining privacy by putting physical space between you and your neighbor is almost impossible. That’s where we come in. Nothing boosts the sense of privacy like shutters. They are opaque, easy to adjust, and unlike drapes, allow air to circulate from outdoors, all without allowing any outsider to see into your living or working space. In addition to providing stylish privacy, shutters add to the value of your home. New owners will not have to replace them because Eclipse Shutters:

  • Carry a 25-year warranty and are known to be the best in the business.
  • Become permanent window treatments. They stay with the house and are one less thing for new owners to have to worry about.
  • Always keep their like-new look. They do not fade, warp, crack or peel, even in higher-humidity environments.
  • Never need to be refinished or repainted. Dusting or wiping with a damp cloth is all the upkeep needed.
  • Help decrease utility bills by keeping heat out in the summer and cold out in the winter
  • Do not need child- or pet-proofing because they are cordless and safe to install around children and pets.
  • Are non-porous, which makes them safe for everyone to be around.

Even if you plan to list your home on the real-estate market in as few as ten days, Eclipse can complete custom orders in time for them to be installed by the first showing. If you have any questions or concerns about Eclipse Shutters, please contact us. We’re here to help you.

French Door Shutters

French Door Shutters

Hours

French doors are beautiful additions to any home. Whether you choose interior or exterior french doors, your decor will benefit greatly. They add a touch of simple elegance to any doorway in the home. The only issue with having french doors is the lack of privacy inherent with this style – as they are paned with glass instead of constructed with solid wood. If you’re looking for a way to keep the beauty without sacrificing privacy, consider adding shutters to your French Doors.

Types of French Door Shutters

Eclipse® Shutters offers two tilt options for French Door shutters: Tilt Bar and Clearview® hidden rear tilt operating systems. The Tilt Bar system allows you to fully open or close the louvers in a moment using the tilt bar located on the front center of each panel. These tilt bars allow the louvers to be closed tightly in both directions and eliminates the need for staples or gears. If you’d prefer a completely unobstructed view, then you should try the Clearview® system. This system works with no center tilt-bar so you can see your beautiful views or just watch the kids play in the back yard. The Clearview® system works much the same as the normal Tilt Bar, but the system is hidden on the back hinge side of the panel. These shutters have a very clean and contemporary look, which make them great additions to the contemporary home. Both the Tilt Bar and Clearview operating systems are offered in 2 1/2″ and 3 1/2″ louver sizes for French Doors.

Color Options for French Door Shutters

Our French Door shutters are available in three neutral colors to match any color scheme or home decor. You can choose to get your shutters in cotton, pearl or vanilla. Cotton is the lightest of the three colors, pearl is a beautiful off-white and vanilla has just a hint of taupe. No matter which color you choose, these shutters are going to make a beautiful and elegant addition to your home. Check out our design options to get an idea of which color will work best with your home design. Interested in using shutters on your french doors too? We’ve got plenty of options to choose from. Contact Eclipse Shutters today for more information.
