The addition of shutters can make your more valuable for a number of reasons. If it is a feature other properties on the market do not have, the addition of shutters can make your home more attractive to potential buyers and therefore, make the property more valuable.

There are clear benefits to having shutters installed, all of which can contribute to the value of your property:

• Increased visual and street appeal
• Improved privacy
• Improved insulation
• Better daylight control

Depending on the type and design, shutters provide varying levels of privacy. That said, what is almost always certain is that shutters can give you the kind of privacy that you simply cannot get from just blind or curtains.

While it is virtually impossible to block all of the light from completely entering your room, shutters are by design made to fit your specific window frames. This means they block light out more effectively than blinds or curtains can. If blocking out light is your top priority, shutters are certainly a good choice to consider.

While the results will vary depending not only on the shutters themselves, but also on the quality of the building, shutters can indeed help to reduce room temperatures. The important thing to keep in mind here, is that shutters do not actively cool down your living spaces, but rather passively help to maintain the temperature inside by reflecting the heat from sun away and preventing a degree of interior heat buildup.
