What is involved in shutter maintenance?

By RSVPonline

Sunday, August 24th, 2014

Shutters have become the #1 choice for window treatments. They add beauty to a home, energy efficiency, and can bring sophistication to home and décor. Shutters are very low-maintenance, and easy to take care of. If they are located indoors, you will want to use a soft dust cloth and furniture polish. You should take the furniture polish and spray it onto the cloth. You should never spray the furniture spray onto the shutters. Then wipe down to remove all dust and dirt that gets onto the shutters. You can also use a feather duster to get in between the slants.

To clean plantation shutters that are outdoors, use a gentle dish soap added to a bucket of water, and a soft cloth. Wipe down the plantation shutters to remove dirt and grime, then you can gently use a water hose without any hard force or power to rinse the soap and dirt from the plantation shutters. Depending on where you live, you should try to clean your shutters at least once a month, or more if the area that you live is heavily dusty and dirty.

The best way to clean and maintain window coverings is to do weekly or bi-weekly dusting and cleaning. Dusting is an excellent way to clean window treatments.

Gently go over the window covering with the soft cloth to remove all dust, dirt, and debris. If you do this regularly, then the window coverings will stay clean and maintained.

Is it true that window shutters lower energy bills?

By RSVPonline

Sunday, August 24th, 2014

Window coverings definitely lower energy bills. Depending on the window coverings, homeowners can drastically reduce their energy bills. Shutters are the best window coverings to lower energy bills. They are so effective that homeowners can have shutters installed in their home and be able to get a tax credit for the product and installation.

Shutters can lower energy costs by blocking heat and cold from entering the home, and it can stop the heating and cooling from escaping the home. Shutters add a thick layer of insulation to the windows that blinds and drapes can’t do alone. Homeowners can add them along with their drapes to get added insulation. Regular mini blinds don’t offer the energy efficiency that shutters can offer.
