For example, a customer in Lostock looking for plantation shutters wanted to know a little more about the origins and functions of these shutters. While they are associated with, and derive their name from, the homes on the cotton plantations in the southern states of America, these shutters actually can be traced back to Greece and Medieval Europe. These window coverings have been used to ensure privacy, control light, allow air flow or improve ventilation, reduce dust and even to improve security. Despite how long these types of shutters have been in use they have recently enjoyed renewed popularity, especially here in the UK. This is thanks to their elegant look, the multiple benefits and advantages they have always offered, the fact that they are low maintenance and that the materials they are now available in are very durable and possess insulating properties. Because the louvres in the shutters can be angled they can be closed to keep heat in during winter and out during the summer months. Any material that has insulating ability has the added advantage of reducing your heating bill.
