The ideal home is accessorised with functional, yet aesthetic window furnishing such as shutters; but there are many shutters to choose from. Most homeowners lean towards creating a warm atmosphere with the use of wooden blinds, but this category offers a wide selection too: are you choosing faux blinds or natural wooden blinds? We can’t give you all the answers to these questions, but if you’re in the market for natural wooden blinds, we can certainly tell you all about basswood shutters:
Aesthetics
Basswood shutters are an incredibly aesthetic window furnishing. They can be purchased in a variety of different grains but can also easily be stained to enrich or subtly change their colours. They are also offered in various textures, providing the home with a beautiful design element that adds interest to a room. Not only do basswood shutters offer beautiful looks, but they also offer many functional elements.
Temperature regulation
As we said already, these shutters offer homes a natural warm feeling, but this spans way beyond aesthetic appeal and atmosphere to actual temperature regulation. Basswood shutters have impressive insulation properties, allowing homeowners to lock in the warmth during the autumn and winter months, or to lock in the cool air during the spring and summer months.
Durability
On top of their aesthetic appeal and temperature regulation, these shutters are also incredibly durable. Basswood may be light, but this does not take away from its strength. In fact, it is one of the strongest hardwoods available with a resistance to a wide range of weather conditions. When it comes to basswood, many people are reluctant to give it a chance as the word ‘wood’ makes them fear warping, but basswood’s light weight makes it resistant to warping. This makes it ideal for areas with high levels of humidity and rainfall.
