How Much Are Plantation Shutters In Boston?

November 21, 2016

Before deciding on plantation shutters for your window treatment project, you’ll probably have questions about how they function, how they’ll look, and what the price will be. Rest assured, these interior shutters look incredible and will add comfort to your living spaces. However, pricing will fluctuate and a few factors impact shutter costs in Boston. Recognizing these variables and partnering with a professional shutter installer will help you receive the most reliable shutter price estimate.

What Influences Plantation Shutter Costs In Boston?

Your Boston home is unique, and so is your shutter installation. Since each installation is different, there’s not one answer to the inquiry, “How much are plantation shutters?” Instead, converse with your advisor to design your ideal interior shutters and discuss how your selections will change their cost. Here are several things that can influence final shutter costs.

The Shutter Material

Plantation shutters are crafted from natural hardwood or engineered wood composites. The level of quality will fluctuate for both materials. To illustrate, you can get contractor-grade faux wood shutters, but you’ll experience all the benefits of interior shutters if you choose a better product like Polywood® shutters. Although the upfront shutter cost is higher, premium Polywood shutters provide unbeatable energy efficiency and look incredible for decades. 

Natural wood shutters also differ in cost. Ask your shutter specialist how their products are constructed and treated for longevity. Wood shutters are not as long-lasting as faux wood, so you’ll want to know you’re getting a solid value if you prefer the timeless beauty of wood. 

The Shape And Size Of Your Windows

Generally, interior shutters are priced according to square footage, so more expansive window shutters will naturally carry a higher price tag than ones on small windows. Having the general measurements of your windows can help you get a rough estimate, but don’t worry too much about recording measurements. Your installer will get precise dimensions during your in-home consultation. 

Windows with unique shapes might also raise the cost relative to typical square or rectangular windows, as a higher level of workmanship is required to fit the exact size and shape. Custom windows could also call for added installation work, depending on the quality of your window frame. But keep in mind, a stunning custom shutter on your rounded or triangular window is worth the investment when you observe how it celebrates the window’s shape instead of covering it.

Additional Options

Several additional variables may impact your shutter cost, such as your frame style, the finish, or extras like hidden tilt rods. These options enable you to produce truly one-of-a-kind shutters to match your home and specific preferences. As you collaborate with your advisor, they’ll explain how these added options change your shutter costs.
