Shutters In Las Vegas Need To Be High Quality

LAS VEGAS - Sept. 4, 2018 - PRLog -- If you live in a desert community where the summers are hot, you are going to need to install some form of window covering in order to prevent the heating up of rooms, and the wasting of electricity.  It has been found that a home owner in an area like Las Vegas can reduce their monthly cooling bills in the area of hundreds of dollars each month simply by installing heavy window coverings, which can block enough sunlight to allow the air conditioner to work less hard. While it may seem odd that the installation of a heavy window covering like a plantation shutter can result in rooms being cooler, it has been proven to be the case. The real difference in the cost of something like plantation shutters is the materials they are made with and the installation procedure that is used.

Cheap shutters are not good in an area like Las Vegas, where intense sunlight and heat can cause the louvers and frames to warp.  There is no legitimate maintenance that will prevent this, as it is determined by the hardness of the materials they are made from.  Plastics and poly blends do not hold us as well to heat as a high quality basswood, and over time these cheaper materials will warp, fade and crack. It can seem like you are saving money by going with cheaper shutters in the short run, but over time you will need to repair or replace louvers that have warped, sometimes costing far more than if you simply purchased the slightly more expensive ones from the get go.  The other way of saving money is to install the shutters using a nail gun instead of screws, but these nails will work their way free over time as well, creating gaps that light can travel through.  The screws will take far longer to install, but will keep the frames tighter over time.
