There are many different kinds of window coverings, from blinds and shades to shutters and more.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most popular kinds of window coverings are full height window shutters. Full height window shutters, as the name implies, cover the full height of your window opening as opposed to caf\u00e9 or half shutters that only cover part of the window opening.<\/p>\n<p>Are full height window shutters the right style for you and your home? In order to figure that out, read this list of full height shutter pros and cons to get you started. After all, choosing full height window shutters depends on whether the full height functionality works with your personal intended use and your personal style.<\/p>\n<p>There are many pros to installing this full height window shutters in your home:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Light Blockage<\/strong> &#8211; These shutters offer the most possible light blockage and privacy as they cover your window\u2019s full area.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Insulation<\/strong> &#8211; When you have the slats and panels closed on full height shutters you also get better insulation to keep your home at a desirable temperature without spending too much on your electricity.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add Mid Rail<\/strong> &#8211; You can easily add a mid-rail to full height shutters to get full control over the upper and lower slats independently of one another. With this addition you can keep the upper slats open for extra light and ventilation into the space but have the lower slats closed for privacy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Easy Installation<\/strong> &#8211; Full height window shutters are also very easy to install as they don\u2019t involve the more detailed installation steps of tier-on-tier shutters. These shutters have more slats and less mid rail which gives you more natural light coming into the space and are ideal for placing on doors if you so choose.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All of these benefits don\u2019t mean that full height shutters are perfect. They have a few cons, too. For example, they might not be ideal for use in small or dark rooms as they completely cover the window. Small or dark bathrooms would be better suited for a caf\u00e9 style shutter to allow maximum natural light while maintaining privacy. Additionally, tier-on-tier shutters or caf\u00e9 style shutters give you more ability to customize light filtration as you can open and close both the bottom and top panels independently of one another while full height shutters can only be fully opened or fully closed.<\/p>\n<p>You need to choose the best window coverings for you and your home, whether or not that means full height shutters.
