Windows come in many shapes and sizes, some of which are unique. This is one consideration that homeowners have to think about if they were wanting to get interior window shutters. Wildwood residents should be aware though that there is really no window that cannot be fitted with some form of window shutters. Even though window shutter professionals are able to make shutters for most types of windows, there are a few different types or shapes that are requested more often than others. Here is a small list of different window shapes that come up more often when professionals are asked to go to a home and have window shutters installed.
Double Hung Windows
Throughout the many homes in the United States, it is more common for shutter professionals to encounter double hung windows when they are tasked with installing interior window shutters. Wildwood residents might know these windows by their looks. They are square or rectangular shaped windows that are taller than wide, and they have two panels or sashes that can be opened and closed independently of one another. These windows are often so popular because they are easy to use and provide energy efficiency to homeowners by lowering their monthly utility bills.
Arched Windows
Another very popular type of window that can be fitted with plantation shutters are windows with a rounded arch on top of them, often referred to as arched windows. It is not uncommon for homeowners with these types of windows to think that they cannot be fitted with interior window shutters. Wildwood residents should know that window shutters will fit these arched windows, and it can even cover the arch itself if that is what the homeowner desires. Keep in mind that arch windows typically do not open and close, so this is a design feature that must be considered when picking out the shutters for these types of windows.
