Shutters Are America's New Favorite Window Fashion - Part 2

Blinds and Curtains are Out

Style is a key selling point, but shutters also offer homeowners value and good looks. More than 50 percent of the DWC survey respondents said that the number one reason people buy indoor shutters is aesthetics. Thirty percent said their customers are buying shutters as investments in their homes. That's because most shutters outlast every other type of window covering. It seems that consumers understand the added beauty and value shutters can bring to their homes.

"I just didn't like the look of drapes when we were decorating our condo in Sun City, Ariz.," says Jeanne Nelson. "We saw the Polywood shutters and we liked the clean, classic look they created. Plus they are easier than blinds or drapes to keep clean. Several years later, it's clear they were worth the investment."

As homeowners' demand for shutters increases, new shutter companies continue to enter the market. "We've seen the shutter market grow substantially over the past few years," says Dix Jarman, co-owner of Sunburst Shutters, the nation's largest shutter manufacturer founded more than 25 years ago. "While aluminum blinds have been known to sag over the years and draperies fade from exposure to the sun, custom-built shutters, especially those made from Polywood, are becoming the window treatment of choice."
