Louvers are a very important part of what makes interior window shutters a great option for homeowners. These are the horizontal slats that can be opened or closed with a tilt bar, that allows sunlight into a home and visibility outside. What can shock some people about louvers is that they can be made from different sizes for interior window shutters. Claremont residents should know that louver sizes can affect the look of their shutters, but it can also change their functionality as well. If you really want window shutters that you will be happy with for many years to come, homeowners should become more familiar with louver sizes or options.
Smaller Louvers (Two and a Half Inches)
Smaller louvers will make it, so there are more louvers appearing from the interior window shutters. Clermont residents should know that smaller louvers will obstruct their view more, which is good for privacy, but it can also obstruct a view on the other side of the window. This may be a problem when looking at natural scenery, such as a lake or wooded area. Being that smaller lovers are more in number, they are better at blocking out more sunlight, which is good for some homeowners who want to keep their home cooler. Keep in mind that no matter how many louvers are available on window shutters, there will always be some sunlight getting through and bringing light into your home.
Large Louvers (Four and a Half Inches)
Louvers that are made to be larger can be very much the opposite to their smaller counterparts on interior window shutters. Clermont residents should know that larger louvers are a great option for windows that have a natural view, and they are much better at letting in sunlight, so it may be a good idea to have them in a living room in the home. But keep in mind that fewer louvers means that there will be less of an obstruction of a view from both the inside and the outside. This is why some homeowners do not like the idea of having large louver window shutters in their bedrooms, for example.
