Design Options

To make it easier to find the perfect shutters for every room in your home, it’s beneficial to look for a company that has a range of different shutter styles to choose from. Being able to choose between full-height shutters, tier-on-tier shutters and cafe-style shutters, for example, can help you to find a style that fits your home’s aesthetic and also meets your needs. 

It can be useful to find a company that has experience working with more intricate styles too, like bay window shutters and special shape shutters. You can then trust that the company has the experience, skill and knowledge required to create bespoke shutters for your home. 

Professional Installation

Not all shutter shops offer installation services, but this is an important service to look for. Professional installers will ensure your window shutters are properly fitted and will last for years to come. Ideally, look for a shutter company that has its own team of fully-trained fitters too, rather than a company that uses subcontractors. This can prevent any concerns relating to the installation process and you can trust the job will be completed to the highest standard. 

Customer Service

When selecting a plantation shutter company, the level of service they provide shouldn’t be overlooked. Working with a company that offers impartial advice and guidance when selecting the shutters for your home is very helpful. It’s also beneficial to find a company that provides home design consultations, so you can compare different options and better visualise what they will look like in your home. 

Reading a shutter company’s reviews can help you to get a feel for the customer services they provide. When other homeowners are happy with the service they’ve received from start to finish, you can confidently invest in a company knowing you won’t be disappointed. 

Competitive Prices 

The cost of plantation shutters will vary depending on several things, such as the materials used, the size of the shutters and the complexity of the installation. In addition to comparing quotes from different companies, it can be beneficial to look for a company that has a price match promise for like-for-like products. This is an indication that their shutters are competitively priced and they won’t charge you over the odds for your shutters.
