Window shutters are nothing new for homeowners. They have been around for hundreds of years and have been relatively the same throughout that time period. The biggest difference is that with today’s plantation shutters, Clermont residents are more likely to have them as interior shutters and not as exterior shutters, which was the way they were initially designed for homes. One of the modern innovations of plantation shutters that homeowners might be interested in for their window shutters would be the option to have them equipped with a small motor that is controlled by the homeowner in order to adjust and move the louvers of the shutters.
Would a Motor be Loud and Noisy?
When homeowners are let known of the fact that they can have their window shutters be operated by a motor and a remote control, they do not like the idea because they think of larger mechanical objects like cars or lawnmowers. These technologies often have loud and noisy motors in order to make them work properly, but that is not the case with the motors on plantation shutters. Clermont residents should be made aware that these motors are small, and do not need much power in order to open and close the louvers of window shutters. In fact, these motors are often tucked away on the inside of the shutter frame where the homeowner will rarely ever see them.
Why Would Anyone Be Interested in Motorized Window Shutters?
Many homeowners would avoid using a motor for their plantation shutters because they are more than capable of opening and closing them on their own. However, there are certain instances where it would be nice for homeowners to have a motor for their plantation shutters. Clermont residents should be made aware that Motors are nice for people who have mobility problems, or have a hard time reaching high or low places. Motors for window shutters are a must-have for larger windows where it could be hard for the homeowner to operate the tilt bar without a chair or a stool.
