The Top 5 Benefits of Installing Shutters in Your Conservatory

Conservatories make a great addition to every house, providing people with a place to relax, work and spend time with loved ones.

Extremely versatile, no matter what you use your conservatory for, adding quality shutters to the room can provide it with a whole host of additional advantages. 

In this article, we’ll outline the top 5 benefits of installing shutters for your conservatory.    

• Privacy 

While having a conservatory extends your living space and allows you to admire your garden from indoors, it also means that other people can see in.

Even if you have a great relationship with your neighbours, there will be times when you probably want some privacy. Installing shutters will allow you to decide when you want to have this privacy, giving you the opportunity to open and close them as you please. 

As well as this, if you keep valuables in your conservatory, you probably won’t always want them in full view. At night time or when the house is unoccupied, you can keep the shutters closed so that opportunistic thieves are deterred.                     

• Easy to maintain 

Unlike curtains, which require dry cleaning or more intensive washing to restore them to their best condition, shutters are incredibly easy to maintain. 

They’re very easy to clean and all you need to do is run a cloth or duster over the slats once in a while to remove any dust, dirt or debris that may have formed.     

• Temperature control 

While conservatories have a whole host of advantages, one of the most common complaints about them is that they can get extremely hot during the summer months. 

This is especially the case if the windows are south-facing, as the direct sunlight and the glass windows can create a greenhouse effect that makes it unpleasant at times. 

However, having shutters in place can help to keep this direct sunlight away while maintaining comfortable air circulation.  

On the other hand, shutters are also effective insulators and can help keep heat in your home when it gets colder. When the winter months arrive it’s important to keep as much heat as possible inside your home. Shutters are able to stop the convection and conduction processes, which contribute to cold air entering your conservatory and hot air leaving it.     

• Protects your furniture

As well as making your conservatory uncomfortable and oppressively hot, direct heat can also damage furniture. 

Most people will have armchairs and sofas in their conservatory, providing people with a place to sit and relax after a long day. However, the ultraviolet rays from direct sunlight can make upholstery fade or look worn. Flooring can also be a victim of these rays, and artwork and books may also suffer.     

With this in mind, having shutters installed is a great way to protect your room and its furnishings. 

• The potential to add value  

Shutters can also potentially increase the value of your property. 

Property experts have suggested that having quality shutters installed in your conservatory could raise the value of your home by up to 15%, making it well worth the investment.
