Shutters of the Strand is happy to bring all types of window coverings to our customers in North and South Carolina, but we get it if you need a little help deciding on which window coverings are right for you. We’re the experts and we know that there’s a lot of ambiguity in how people talk about window coverings, so we’re here to help you learn a little more about the different types, and how window shades, blinds, exterior, or plantation shutters might benefit your Myrtle Beach Home.

• Blinds - Blinds are an interior window covering that offers great functionality for the home and business owners that choose to install them. They offer easy light and visibility control, so you can have as much privacy or “raise” the lighting as much as you want and throughout the room. The major difference between blinds and shades is that shades are usually one piece of fabric, while blinds are made with many slats that come together.
• Shades - Shades are often chosen in place of blinds because they offer more aesthetic value. Offered in a variety of fabrics, this means there are many more prints and styles to choose from. While shades also offer light control and privacy, your options for letting light and visibility through are slim. To let light into the entire room, you’ll have to raise the shades completely. We offer a wide variety of shades, from roman to wooden-woven and everything in between.
• Exterior Shutters - Especially practical in coastal areas, exterior shutters were meant for much more than just sitting beside windows to look pretty. Available in a variety of types, materials, and colors, our custom made exterior shutters offer looks and whatever level of protection you need. Whether you want wooden, hinged shutters, the ultimate window protection of metal hurricane shutters, or something in between, we can provide shutters that look great and protect your home.
• Plantation Shutters - Plantation shutters offer all around protection from the interior of your home. They’re great for not only controlling light and visibility, but also protecting your home from broken windows and the element. Plantation shutters offer a near complete seal of your window frame if you so choose, or you can open up certain sections and leave the others closed. We offer both wood and Polywood® shutters, and in a variety of shades, so we’re sure to have something that matches your style.
