When you are looking for new window coverings for your home in Mountain View, CA, there are plenty of options on the market. Bi-fold plantation shutters are a type of wood shutters that you can place on either windows or doors. They are hinged in the middle and you can either fold them up or place them on the sides of the window and door. They are a great, versatile option in any room and on any house. If you want a change in your home, wood shutters are a great option. What more do you need to know? Here are a few options.
Bi-fold Wood Shutters are Versatile
It’s nice to have a window (or door!) covering that can give you a variety of things so you can change it up when you need to. When you have these wood shutters on a door, they have a track system with them and slide to either side of the door so they can be completely open, have one open, or be completely closed. You can place them on a patio door, for example, and let in a lot of sun on the nice Mountain View days. You can also keep them closed when the summer heat gets to be too much. Or you can use the louvers to enjoy some natural light without letting in heat.
Easy Access for Cleaning
You might think that wood shutters would always be in the way and would be hard to clean around, but the opposite is actually true. Since bi-fold shutters open completely and fold back on their hinges, they can rest against the wall and leave the window completely open to allow you to clean the windows with ease or open the window to let in the spring breeze. Keep in mind that the shutter will be as large as the windows, so you may not want to use this type of wood shutters on large windows because they take up a lot of wall space when they are open.
Permanency that Allows for Changes
When you think of something permanent on your house, it’s usually something you can’t change. But that’s not the case for wood shutters! When you put these bi-fold shutters on your windows and doors, you have something permanent that raises the value of your home. But wood is also something you can change as often as you’d like. If you start with white, you can paint it to a bright color or a different neutral tone any time you’d like. Get the option for change in a permanent item with wood shutters.
