Frequently Asked Shutter Company Questions - Answered By Shutter Brothers

As beautiful as wood blinds are, we know they're not for everyone. Wood blinds aren't the ideal window treatment for spaces that contain a fair amount of humidity, such as bathrooms or kitchens. Wood blinds may warp if exposed to too much moisture, and cleaning them requires specialized products.

If wood blinds aren't the best fit for your home, our shutter company has the solution for you. Our faux wood blinds look just as gorgeous as traditional wood blinds but are made out of durable materials such as PVC or vinyl. With our faux wood blinds, you won't have to worry about moisture damage or special care instructions to clean them up.

While both of these treatments work fantastically at covering your windows and controlling light flow, that's about where the similarities end. Blinds are made of hard materials such as wood and have slats that can be rotated to increase or decrease the amount of light desired to enter a room. Shades are typically constructed out of a large piece of soft fabric that can usually be lowered or raised with a chord's pull.

Shutter Brothers have shades for every degree of light control possible. If you have a room that suffers from too much intense light, we have the perfect window covering for you. Window treatments such as honeycomb shades come in a wide range of opacities, including sheer, semi-sheer, semi-opaque, and blackout. Honeycomb shades consist of an easy to clean, wrinkle-resistant fabric and work marvelously as insulators as well.

Our motorized blinds are perfect if you want to be able to raise or lower your blinds with the touch of a button. Motorized blinds can also be set on a timer so you can wake up to the morning sun or fall asleep without the annoying glare of street lights. When you have motorized blinds installed by our pros, you'll be able to control the light flow in your home from a choice of a wireless wall switch, remote, smartphone app, Amazon Alexa, or Google Assistant.
