How Much Are Plantation Shutters In Miami?

November 21, 2016

Before settling on plantation shutters as your window treatment solution, you’ll probably have questions about how they will look, how they’ll add appeal to your Miami home, and what the price will be. Rest assured, these interior shutters look gorgeous and will add comfort to your living spaces. However, pricing will vary and a few factors affect shutter costs in Miami. Knowing about these variables and working with an experienced shutter installer will help you get the most reliable shutter price estimate.

What Can Affect Plantation Shutter Costs In Miami?

Your Miami home is distinct, as is your shutter installation project. Because each installation is different, there’s no definitive answer to the question, “How much are plantation shutters?” Instead, sit down with your advisor to create your preferred interior shutters and talk about how your selections will change their cost. Here are several things that can affect total shutter costs.

The Shutter Material

Plantation shutters are crafted from natural hardwood or engineered wood composites. Each of these materials can fluctuate in quality. To illustrate, you can buy builder-grade faux wood shutters, but you’ll experience all the benefits of interior shutters if you invest in a superior window treatment like Polywood® shutters. Even though the initial shutter cost is higher, premium Polywood shutters give you unrivaled energy efficiency and look incredible for decades. 

Natural wood shutters also differ in cost. Ask your shutter advisor how their wood shutters are manufactured and thier expected lifespan. Wood shutters are a little less durable than faux wood, so you’ll want to know you’re getting your money’s worth if you love the timeless beauty of wood. 

The Size And Shape Of Your Windows

Generally, interior shutter prices are calculated by square footage, so more substantial window shutters will inevitably carry a higher price tag than ones on smaller-sized windows. Understanding the general measurements of your windows can help you get a ballpark estimate, but don’t get too concerned about taking measurements. Your installer will take precise measurements during your window design consultation. 

Windows with specialty shapes can also increase the cost relative to conventional rectangular or square windows, as a higher degree of craftsmanship is required to fit the specific shape and size. Specialty windows might also require additional installation work, based on the state of your existing window frame. But keep in mind, a premium shutter on your rounded or triangular window is worth it when you observe how it complements the window shape rather than hiding it.

Additional Options

Some additional options may influence your shutter cost, such as your frame design, the finish, or extras like divider rails. These customizations allow you to create truly unique shutters to complement your home and your exact preferences. As you work with your advisor, they’ll explain how these added options impact your shutter costs.
