How Much Are Plantation Shutters In Tampa?

November 21, 2016

Before settling on plantation shutters as your window treatment solution, you’ll likely have questions about how they work, how they’ll look, and what the price will be. Don’t worry, these versatile shutters look gorgeous and will add comfort to your home. However, pricing can fluctuate and a few factors affect shutter costs in Tampa. Understanding these considerations and partnering with an experienced shutter installer will help in receiving the most accurate shutter price estimate.

What Can Affect Plantation Shutter Costs In Tampa?

Your Tampa home is unique, and so is your shutter installation. Because each installation is different, there’s no single answer to the inquiry, “How much are plantation shutters?” Instead, sit down with your installer to create your preferred interior shutters and discuss how your choices will change their cost. Here are a few things that can influence final shutter costs.

The Shutter Material

Plantation shutters are built from real hardwood or wood composites. The level of quality will vary for both options. To illustrate, you can buy stock faux wood shutters, but you’ll enjoy all the perks of interior shutters if you choose a better treatment like Polywood® shutters. While the initial shutter cost is higher, top-tier Polywood shutters last for decades and offer unsurpassed energy efficiency and savings. 

Natural wood shutters also differ in cost. Consult with your shutter installer about how their products are constructed and treated for longevity. Wood shutters are not as durable as engineered wood, so you’ll need to know you’re getting a solid product if you prefer the traditional look of wood. 

The Dimensions Of Your Windows

Generally, interior shutters are priced according to square footage, so more substantial window shutters will of course carry a higher price tag than ones on smaller-sized windows. Understanding the general measurements of your windows can assist you in getting a rough estimate, but don’t stress too much about taking measurements. Your installer will get precise dimensions during your in-home consultation. 

Windows with custom shapes can also raise the price relative to typical square or rectangular windows, as they need more time and effort to fit the specific dimensions and angles. Specialty windows could also need extra installation work, based on the condition of your window frame. However, a stunning custom shutter on your arched or triangular window is worth it when you notice how it complements the window’s shape as opposed to covering it.

Other Ways To Customize

Several additional choices may impact your shutter cost, such as the design of your frame, the finish, or added functionality like divider rails. These features enable you to create truly unique shutters to accommodate your home and your exact goals. As you work with your advisor, they’ll educate you on how these added options change your shutter costs.
