How Much Are Plantation Shutters In Minneapolis?

November 21, 2016

Before deciding on plantation shutters for your window treatment project, you’ll most likely have questions about how they operate, how they will look, and what the price will be. Don’t worry, these louvered shutters look gorgeous and will add comfort to your living spaces. However, pricing can vary and multiple factors affect shutter costs in Minneapolis. Knowing about these factors and working with a skilled shutter installer will help in getting the most reliable shutter price estimate.

What Influences Plantation Shutter Costs In Minneapolis?

Your Minneapolis home is distinct, as is your shutter installation. Because every installation is different, there’s no single answer to the inquiry, “How much are plantation shutters?” Instead, meet with your advisor to create your perfect interior shutters and discuss how your selections will change their cost. Here are a few factors that can alter total shutter costs.

The Shutter Material

Interior shutters are made from genuine hardwood or wood composites. The quality level will fluctuate for both options. For instance, you can find stock faux wood shutters, but you’ll experience all the benefits of interior shutters if you opt for a better treatment like Polywood® shutters. While the initial shutter cost is higher, top-grade Polywood shutters offer unrivaled energy efficiency and last a lifetime. 

Real wood shutters also range in cost. Ask your shutter advisor how their products are constructed and treated for longevity. Wood shutters are not as durable as composite wood, so you should know you’re getting a solid product if you prefer the time-tested look of wood. 

The Shape And Size Of Your Windows

Generally, interior shutter prices are based on square footage, so larger window shutters will of course have a higher price tag than ones on smaller windows. Having the approximate measurements of your windows can help you get an initial estimate, but don’t stress too much about recording measurements. Your installer will take precise measurements during your in-home consultation. 

Windows with specialty shapes may also raise the price relative to conventional square or rectangular windows, as they demand more time and effort to accommodate the exact angles and dimensions. Specialty windows could also call for added installation work, depending on the condition of your existing window frame. But remember, a quality shutter on your circular or octagonal window is worth the investment when you see how it complements the window’s shape as opposed to concealing it.

Additional Options

Some other variables will influence your shutter cost, such as the type of your frame, the finish, or extra details like split tilt rods. These options let you produce truly one-of-a-kind shutters to complement your home and particular preferences. As you work with your consultant, they’ll help you understand how these extra options affect your shutter costs.
