Shutters are an element of window joinery that has two functions – aesthetic and practical. Due to the decorative nature of the covers, both values are important for investors. They protect against sunlight, provide pleasant coolness during the day and a sense of privacy in the evening. Shutters are also a tasteful element of summer residences – both in the manor and rustic style.
Shutters
The shutters impress with their characteristic design. Even if we choose modern external roller shutters or blinds in our own home, we look at traditional window covers with pleasure. Shutters decorate historic buildings, but are also present in new buildings. We can find them, for example, in wooden summer houses - both private and in tourist resorts. They are also an element of the equipment of year-round houses in a rustic style, summer residences inspired by manor house architecture, but also those with a simple shape and a minimalist facade finish. Modern shutters are universal, tasteful, but also practical.
Shutters – traditional design, modern workmanship.
There are various types of shutters on the market. We can equip windows with wooden covers that have their own charm, provide protection against the sun and provide basic safety. They will certainly require regular maintenance and surface refreshing, as will the whole house with a wooden facade.
At Eko-Okna, we offer a solution that combines traditional design of shutters with high technical parameters. For their production, parts from a reputable supplier are used. Each shutter is made of the highest quality materials – it consists of a thick, extruded frame filled with aluminium slats. On the one hand, we have the appropriate stiffness of the material, and on the other, a slim and light structure. As a result, the obtained product has a unique appearance, distinguishing the house, which guarantees effective protection against external weather conditions. Contrary to wooden solutions, aluminium shutters ensure durability for years and are very comfortable to use. We can choose one of three types of covers: turn, tilt & fold or sliding. Additionally, each shutter is offered with movable slats with the possibility of regulating the flow of light and air, or with fixed slats arranged downwards at a constant angle.
Summer residence with shutters – is it worth it?
Is it worth investing in shutters in the case of a house that we use seasonally? Often such a purchase is justified. Owners of summer residences visit them regularly throughout the year and in fact, these objects can serve as a second home even for several months. Sometimes the house is shared with the family or used for recreation for friends. We invite guests to it, organise events and parties. It is worth taking care of comfort for this time and convenience in use. A one-time investment will bear fruit – aluminium shutters will serve us for many years. At the same time, let's not save on good design – if the whole design is thought out and made in a specific style, let's adjust the details of the facade to it, including the appearance of window covers such as shutters.
