And since this is arguably the primary purpose of shutters, it is crucial to know how well shutters can block light before installing them. While our shutters have many other benefits like temperature control, privacy, and security, we can assure you that they are designed to keep out the light so you can control how bright your room is. The last thing you want is the sun bleeding around your shutters, which may be distracting when trying to work or sleep. If you are still worried about light entering through your window, we offer some custom options and will do everything we can to ensure your shutters are the perfect fit for your space.
