Durable Shutters for Your Home in Winnipeg
At Blind Ambitions, we understand that windows are a crucial element of your home's overall look and feel. That's why we offer a wide selection of window shutters to enhance the beauty and functionality of your house.
Shutters are excellent for room darkening and controlling the direction of the light coming in. They are very durable, easy to clean, and excellent for specialty-shaped windows where other shades simply can’t be used. They are inherently safe for children and pets as there are never any cords to get tangled.
Contact us today to schedule a consultation and take the first step towards enhancing your home with our stylish and functional shutters. We serve clients in Winnipeg, surrounding areas, and Cottage Country.
What Are Shutters?
Shutters are solid and very stable window coverings. They usually require a separate frame, that can either go over your existing window trim, or fit inside the window . Shutters are excellent for light control, sound absorption and insulation. They are truly the only style of window covering that can be used for those that like to sleep with their windows open for air flow, but don't want a shade or drapery banging on the casings. Shutters are also super easy to clean, as they can be wiped with a damp rag, and very durable in rooms with small children!
Benefits of Shutters
Choosing shutters as your window treatment offers numerous benefits. Here's why one might opt for shutters over other types of window coverings:
-
Aesthetics: Shutters offer a clean, cohesive, and classic look that can enhance a home's curb appeal.
-
Durability: Shutters are built to last, especially those made from quality materials like hardwood or high-grade polyvinyl.
-
Energy efficiency: Shutters provide an additional layer of insulation. In the winter, they can help retain heat inside, while in the summer, they can deflect sunlight and reduce heat gain, leading to energy savings.
-
Light control: With adjustable louvres, shutters allow homeowners to control the light entering a room precisely.
-
Ventilation: When windows are open, shutters allow fresh air to flow in and out of the room while providing shade and privacy.
-
Easy maintenance: Unlike fabrics that can trap dust and allergens, shutters can be easily wiped clean with a cloth, making them a good option for those with allergies.
-
Child safety: As shutters don't require cords, they're a safe alternative for homes with young children and pets.

Things to Consider When Choosing Shutters
Selecting the right shutters for your home requires careful consideration of various factors. Here are some factors to help ensure you make an informed choice:
-
Decorative vs. functional: Are you looking for shutters primarily for aesthetics or practical uses like light control, insulation, or protection? Dive deep.
-
Size and fit: While standard sizes might fit common window sizes, unusual or uniquely sized windows will likely require custom shutters.
-
Mounting: Decide between inside-mount (inside the window recess) or outside-mount (outside the window frame) based on window depth and the look you desire.
-
Colour and finish: Decide whether you want a paint finish (offers a broader range of colour options) or a stain finish (highlights wood grain) based on your home's decor.
-
Maintenance: Consider the maintenance needs of the shutters. For instance, wooden shutters may require periodic refinishing, while vinyl shutters might need an occasional wipe-down.
-
Budget: While shutters can be more expensive than other window treatments, they're also more durable. Still, finding a balance between quality and what you're willing to spend is essential.
