Maximize Indoor Light in the Pacific Northwest with Shutters

Looking for a custom window covering that adds privacy to your home while still allowing for maximal interior light? As we all know, western Washington is known for its abundance of overcast days and it is important to many people who reside in Seattle, Kirkland, Renton, Bellevue, and the surrounding areas to create light-filled and relaxing spaces. Wood shutters are the perfect solution to this problem as they permit optimal light control and privacy while maximizing the light level in your home. See the photos below for examples.

Choose Newport Custom Shutters for your Window Covering Needs

Choosing Newport Custom Shutters to design and manufacture custom wooden shutters for your home in white or similarly light colored paint finishes will optimize light reflection and create a sense of an airy kitchen, living room, bedroom, or bathroom. Tilting the louvers on your shutters up will decrease the light in your room and help to cool your home during summer or promote sleep during daytime hours such as for a kids’ room or for those who work night shifts. Tilting the louvers on your shutters down will allow you to have privacy in your home but refract the light in such a way that maintains most of the ambient light coming from outside.

Noise Reduction Benefits of Wood Shutters

Outdoor noise can ruin the ambience of your home and prove to be distracting when trying to relax or sleep. The installation of custom wood shutters will greatly help to reduce noise and give you a restful escape from the outside world. In the greater metropolitan Seattle area including ever-growing cities such as Bellevue, Kirkland, Issaquah, Renton, and Tacoma, we are no stranger to the sounds of increased traffic and construction. Shutters offer the perfect solution through both visual privacy and auditory insulation from the noise of the world around us.

Do shutters help to reduce road noise?

The answer is a resounding ‘yes!’ when shutters, such as ours, are made of real solid hardwood. Since our shutters are made to fit perfectly inside your windows, they let very little noise travel through. Shutters are far superior to blinds and curtains when it comes to noise reduction because they shut completely as doors do and wood is significantly more soundproof than most other materials. If you are seeking a beautiful, custom window covering that also offers noise insulation, we are here to help.

Shutters for Modern Bathrooms

In contrast to what you may think, shutters do not always have to look traditional or classic. They can be designed and manufactured to look sleek, suiting modern spaces such as the two bathrooms shown below made possible in part by using a less traditional material: aluminum. The shutters in all of the images below are aluminum. Putting shutters in a bathroom with specific tilt preferences allows you to maintain privacy without sacrificing style or your view.
