Benefits of blinds and shutters
From price to practicality, we’ve broken down the benefits of both blinds and plantation shutters to help you find the perfect match for your windows.
Shutters
Increase light and airflow: Once installed over your windows, shutters will provide gentle air filtration and regulate airflow to keep your home bright and airy.
Insulating: Their robust design creates an additional layer of insulation over windows, working to keep heat inside during winter and block heat in summer. Not only does this help to regulate the temperature throughout the year, but it also means your energy bills will be reduced!
Low maintenance: With wide, flat louvres, shutters are incredibly easy to clean. All they need is a quick dusting and a wipe down every so often.
Child safe: All of our products are completely child safe, however, unlike blinds, shutters have no cords or chains at all. This not only gives them a more streamlined appearance, but it means those with little ones can enjoy complete peace of mind.
Add value: Shutters are an attractive choice for their durable nature and timeless, universally appealing style. As a result, installation of shutters can add value to your home when (or if) it comes time to sell.
Blinds
Huge variety: At ABC Blinds, we have multiple types of window blinds, including privacy blinds, for the home or office. There are also many different fabrics and colours on offer to suit any décor.
Option to motorise: Unlike shutters which require manual operation, most of our indoor blinds can be motorised for complete ease of use. Once motorised, your blinds can be connected to our Smart Home Hub, which allows remote control over your blinds via your home WiFi.
Budget friendly: Unlike shutters, which tend to have a higher price point, you can easily find a style of blinds to match your budget. Choose from the most affordable styles such as roller blinds or vertical blinds or browse our premium designer range.
Child safe: No matter what style you’re after, all of our blinds meet international child safety standards. For more tips on choosing child safe blinds, check out this blog.
Short delivery timeframe: When it comes to delivery times, blinds win this round! Blinds have a turnaround time of approximately 14 days (from order to installation), whereas shutters can take slightly longer to manufacture.
