As you begin your design journey, you may be thinking about what window treatments may be right for you. If you are interested in something that is classic yet durable, adding shutters to your home could be the right step to take. At Hartley Window Coverings, our friendly staff can assist you as you begin learning about the various styles in order to make the best decision for you and your household.


The first type that you may want to think about when adding shutters to your home is our wood shutter. These impressive window fashions are crafted from 100% hardwood and also feature unique finishing. As these come in a variety of wood textures and colors, there is quite a bit of variance in terms of the appearances. A benefit of choosing this window covering is that windows of nearly any shape or size can be outfitted with wood shutters, which gives you endless possibilities when it comes to implementing them in your home.


Faux wood shutters are another avenue to explore when thinking about adding shutters to your home. These are special due to the fact that they are intentionally constructed from manmade materials, which lends itself to supreme durability. However, the grain-like finish that is used on these also gives off the appearance of real hardwood.


Finally, Polysatin shutters combine the best parts of the aforementioned styles in order to create another offering that may be the best fit for your design goals. With their grain-like finish and resistance to warping, cracking, or fading, these are great pieces to add in high-traffic areas or rooms that may exhibit a high level of moisture or humidity. Additionally, these are also dent and scratch resistant. As you can see, there are many ways that you can go about adding shutters to your home.


Aside from adding shutters to your home, you may instead be interested in other options when it comes to upgrading your home’s interior. Integrating automation may instead be the solution for your specific needs. Bringing this system into your home has the ability to allow you the option of controlling the positioning of your shades by either a smartphone, tablet, or remote. Regardless of how you choose to control your window treatments, this system will not only make your life easier, but will be an impressive feature for your home.
