Shutters are a better choice than blinds or curtains in many ways. Shutters are made from durable materials that can last years without losing shape. Blinds, on the other, have closing mechanisms that can easily break when not used correctly. In addition, strings attached to blinds can become a safety hazard for young children if not kept out of reach.
Shutters offer superior insulation and security, which blinds and curtains lack. For example, shutters can deter intruders and keep them from breaking in. Unlike curtains, shutters are also easy to clean and maintain, require more care and are more prone to moulds when used in humid rooms. Curtains and blinds also tend to trap dust, which can trigger irritations to people with allergies or asthma. Therefore, they require more frequent cleaning or washing compared to roller shutters.
