Shutters vs. Blinds

Both blinds and shutters are popular forms of window coverings that use horizontal slats, or louvers, to control light and visibility. However, both blinds and shutters have distinct features that differentiate one from the other.

WINDOW BLINDS

Indulge yourself with the natural beauty of wood blinds! We offer one of the widest selections of wood blinds in Houston with an array of stain’s and paint finishes to choose from. Our wood blinds come in 2’ and 2.5’ inch louvers, 2-on-1 head rails, inside/outside mounts, and custom made to fit just right. Blinds have the most light control options of most window treatments and have been the preferred choice of interior designers and decorators.

WINDOW SHUTTERS

Interior shutters are generally more formal, durable, and substantial than window blinds. Interior shutters are sectioned into panels that are connected to make units to fit the window. The individual shutter panels then can open to either side, while blinds retract to the top of the window. The number of shutter panels used depends on the size of the window. The shutter louvers are rotated using a tilt bar to place the louvers in a desired location, unlike the string system used with blinds. Fine Shutters can also be made of Basswood or Hardwoods for durability and energy flow. Window Shutters may also be constructed from a composite Poly material for those environments that require durability.
