Tips: How to enjoy your shutters for longer
Have you already figured out the perfect shutters for your home? Then of course you want to enjoy your new addition for as long as possible. The following tips will help you enjoy your new shutters for longer.
1. Check the guarantee
A long guarantee is always a good thing. Always ask the supplier how long the warranty is and what conditions apply. This will help you avoid high costs and ensure good damage control should something unexpectedly go wrong.
2. Clean the shutters regularly
Did you buy shutters? Then it is now up to you to maintain them properly on a regular basis. Regular cleaning prevents dirty stains that become increasingly difficult to remove over time. Use a duster or hoover and avoid (strong) cleaning agents. If in doubt, consult the supplier’s website.
3. Choose the right material.
The most suitable material for your shutters depends on the installation. Wooden shutters are not suitable for damp areas in the home, in which case it is preferable to choose polywood or aluminium. Check the table above or get advice from a specialist.
4. Choose the right price-quality ratio
Buy cheap is often expensive. Look at the relationship between price and quality. What is the estimated lifespan? You obviously want to enjoy your shutters for as long as possible. Therefore, choose a good quality material.
