  Many homeowners and businesses are finding out why plantation shutters are such a wonderful way to add function, value, and beauty to their homes and offices structures.houston plantation shutters cost are a relatively inexpensive way to make a big change in the appearance and value of your home. 'Louvers' are the parallel slats found between the stiles, which can be tilted and adjusted to allow in pretty much light, as well as air flow when the window sash is actually opened. Louvers can be made in several various sizes and designs, and are normally probably the most customizable part of these shutters.
  
  The louvers can range in size greatly, allowing for much more options. It is important to remember that the wider your louver, the more light and air will be allowed into the room when they are opened. Also, with regard to appearance, larger windows look far better with plantation shutters that include wider louvers. This is in addition true for larger rooms. The 'tilt rod' may be the mechanism that controls the movement with the louvers. These also come in a variety of styles. Some of these tilt rods are actually designed into the shutter, trying to hide the rod from view. These are appropriately called hidden tilt rods.
  
  Materials
  
  Plantation shutters are available in several different materials. Vinyl and PVC plantation shutters are starting to become more popular, but they don't compare to serious wood shutters, in terms of beauty and style. Wooden plantation shutters can be made from all sorts of wood, including rich woods like pine, cherry, mahogany, and walnut. The type of wooden used is second only to the quality of construction, including the lower, sanding, and finishing with the product.
  .
  Best-rated replacement windows should be those that pass NFRC star ratings standards, must be Energy Star approved and first and foremost must be rated highly by consumers. I will offer some few examples on the end but for now let's review the ratings standards. This will help people avoid being scammed relating to the future.
  
  NFRC ratings standards
  
  Well then, i'll let tell you that - I hope you intimately know. Many companies and gross sales reps will advertise a great U-value and make you believe it is actually real. Without NFRC testing it is probably a scam. So to find a good replacement window you have to compare these ratings. By the way NFRC stands for Domestic Fenestration Rating Council. You can find their site online.
  
  Electricity Star approved
  
  Energy Star can be a program that is supported by the government. It was create to help businesses and individuals protect the environment through superior energy effectiveness. This means that a window that's energy star approved means it is energy-efficient.
  
  Consumer Reports and samples of best rated windows
  
  Consumer reports supply a great source of information. I almost prefer these because it will be based upon user experience not just tests - not to discard the two already discussed above.
  
  Some of the best-rated windows include, dressed windows. This is because they cannot need any maintenance covering on the exterior. You can get aluminum-clad windows from Marvin for $400 for a reference window. You can also try out Anderson windows, which costs somewhere around $250 or so.
