How Much Are Plantation Shutters In Dallas?

November 21, 2016

Before deciding on plantation shutters for your window upgrade, you’ll probably have questions about how they operate, how they will look, and how much they will cost. Rest assured, these interior shutters look incredible and will add comfort to your living spaces. However, pricing will vary and several factors affect shutter costs in Dallas. Recognizing these considerations and working with a professional shutter installer will help in getting the most reliable shutter price estimate.

What Influences Plantation Shutter Costs In Dallas?

Your Dallas 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 window treatment specialist to design your preferred interior shutters and talk about how your selections will change their cost. Here are several factors that can alter final shutter costs.

The Shutter Material

Interior shutters are built from natural hardwood or engineered wood composites. The level of quality will fluctuate for both options. For example, you can find builder-grade faux wood shutters, but you’ll appreciate all the perks of interior shutters if you choose a superior product like Polywood® shutters. Even though the upfront shutter cost is higher, premium Polywood shutters last a lifetime and provide exceptional energy efficiency and lower utility bills. 

Wood shutters also vary in cost. Talk to your shutter provider about how their wood shutters are made and how long they will last. Wood shutters are a little less durable than composite wood, so you’ll need to know you’re getting your money’s worth if you prefer the timeless beauty of wood. 

The Shape And Size Of Your Windows

Typically, interior shutters are priced according to square footage, so more expansive window shutters will inevitably carry a higher cost than those on smaller-sized windows. Knowing the approximate measurements of your windows can assist you in determining a ballpark estimate, but don’t get too concerned about taking measurements. Your installer will get an exact measurement during your consultation. 

Windows with unique shapes might also increase the price compared to standard rectangular or square windows, as a higher level of craftsmanship is required to match the exact size and shape. Specialty windows could also call for extra installation work, based on the state of your existing window frame. But keep in mind, a quality shutter on your octagon or rounded window is worth the investment when you notice how it accentuates the window shape as opposed to concealing it.

Additional Customizations

Some additional choices may impact your shutter cost, such as the type of your frame, the finish, or extras like divider rails. These customizations enable you to produce truly one-of-a-kind shutters to match your living space and particular needs. As you collaborate with your consultant, they’ll help you understand how these added options affect your shutter costs.
