Summer Shutter Sale by Villa

Shutters

Summer shutter sale by Villa is a great opportunity to buy shutters and beat the heat.

As residents of Corona, my wife and I are all to familiar with how hot it gets in our lovely city.  As window covering experts, we have all the best heat blocking products available.  We have of course our beautiful Onyx Wood Plantation Shutters.  They really block out the Sun and keep our house cool.  Our master Bedroom faces west and the upstairs doesn’t get hot like it used to.

We also have Norman Solar Shades on our Patio Door (pictured below).  These solar screens block heat transfer into our home, are quite good looking and allow us to view thru to our backyard garden and to keep an eye on our dog Bailey

.

Our Green River Business Network allows us to offer you Energy Efficient Vinyl Windows and Doors.  These beautiful windows, combined with shutters and solar screens, maximize our house’s energy efficiency.  The windows have LoE3, which stands for Low Emmisivity,   This is a glazing on your glass that blocks heat transfer.  And Argon Gas assures a barrier to the outside temperature.

Our Network also sells and installs Solar Panels.  Our house has 14 panels which create enough electricity to totally eliminate our SCE bill.  We took advantage of the 30 % Tax Credit.   Last April the final $4500 we owed in taxes, instead went to the cost of the panels, not the Feds!  Our credit union loan is the approximate payment of our SCE bill.  In seven years we will own our system and have no solar bill and no SCE bill for the rest of our lives, how about that?

Getting back to our summer shutter sale.  We are offering starting July 1st our Onyx Premium Plantation Shutters for only $16.50 per Square Foot.   And installation is  for only $2.00 SQ FT, not $3.50- $6.00 which is very common in Orange County.  This a great deal!  And we are offering FREE TEMPORARY SHADES, these will hold you over while you are waing for you New Shutters.

Shades,

Sheer shades from Villa are  modern looking and quite beautiful.  They are often called a dual shade because they have to shades working together, that allow view thru as  well as solid more traditional when preferred.  Sounds complicated, so I’ve posted a video I shot at the Manufacturers showroom.

Wood or Hybrid Shutters?

Shutters, ,

Wood or Hybrid shutters?   That is a common question asked by homeowners in the market for Plantation shutters.

So let’s analyze the pros and cons here.  Wood has been used for hundreds of years and over the years the quality developed into a very  high quality product, was well respected for it’s beauty and was the creation of fine craftsmen.  It reached a peak in costs around 1950’s and was a very expensive window covering for homeowners with discerning tastes and fat wallets.

But I digress from my goal in helping my readers decide which material to use for their home in today’s market.

Alternative materials have been developed to replace wood in many  products including windows, flooring, decks, and  fences to just name a few.    Vinyl windows have become so energy efficient that you almost do not see wood windows at all anymore.  And flooring has done the same with laminates and tile that look so much like a wood floor you can’t tell the difference.  But shutters are neither an outdoor product like windows, nor a walked on product like a floor.

Wood shutters today  are still beautiful, natural and add value to your home.  The paint finish should be able to withstand fading, chipping and pealing .  To get this type of protection the paint should  have an polyurethane finish, which is like an oil based paint, not a water based paint.

Wood is also the best choice  when you have either a 3 ft wide or 6′ wide window.  I recommend using a single panel for the 3 ft wide window , because the two panel has a vertical side of each panel  in the middle of your small window and blocks a lot of  view through.  The same for the 6′ wide window, do it with 2 panels, not 4 for the same reason.

The Hybrid shutters were developed for many reasons and have their place in today’s market as a very good alternative to wood shutters.  These hybrids are made of hollow vinyl, solid vinyl, composite materials that blend vinyl and wood, and the true hybrid shutters that are constructed with a solid MDF core – real wood in an advanced state – for incredible density and strength. Made from the wood of rapid-growth trees, these shutters enable tree replenishment at an extremely accelerated rate.

In addition, Woodlore’s UV inhibitors do not release any volatile organic compound and protects against color fading and yellowing. Our patented polypropylene coating resists staining to ensure long-term performance in a variety of environments. Woodlore is the natural choice of shutter for your windows.

  • Better consistency and durability than a regular wood shutter
  • Reinforced engineered wood stiles provide an intense level of durability and structural integrity
  • Stainless steel staples resist corrosion and withstand extreme heat
  • Better than vinyl and PVC shutters and can withstand even the highest desert temperatures
  • Patented polypropylene coating makes its surface extremely durable and robust

Riverside Shutter Design

Shutters,

 

Riverside Shutter design featured job of the month for Villa.  This week we installed 34 shutters for Raymond and his wife in their brand new home in Riverside.  They have the same size window throughout the house.  For a 35″by 58″ windows ( Picture 1 and 2)  we recommend the use of a single panel with split hidden tilt.

Picture 3 shows use of Divider Rail, which is recommended on Single Hung Windows.  In Picture 4 we show a Bi-Pass Shutter used for Patio Doors, here we recommend getting the Bi-pass open system to allow you to open the louvers even if one side is slid over the other.

In Picture 5 and 6 we show you two choices for 8 ft wide windows.  I often recommend the design in #5, it shows the use of a T Post, which allow the inside panels to open individually.  The other choice (Picture 6) is to hinge two panels together and  open together to the left, and two to the right, called a LLRR.

Villa offers Free in home estimates, but more importantly  we off our experience in shutter design.  So learn the tips from the pros.  We have great pricing, service and customer satisfaction.  We guarantee it!

Interior Window Shutters

Shutters, ,

Interior window shutters are the perfect window covering!  Let’s examine why that is true.

Best for Light Control.  Many shades offer black out option, but you need a dual shade to give you both room darkening and light filtering.  With shutters you have both because you can block out the bright morning light quite well with a shutter, yet crack the louvers a little bit, and you  have the desired light you might want.  We offer Split Controls.image

Best View Thru  With shutters when you  have the louvers  open there is  three to four  inches between them for a great view to your outside.  Most horizontal blinds are offered in 2 1/2 inch slat sizes.  (Century does offer a three inch)

     image
Interior Window shutters offer excellent Views

Best for Temperature Control  My friend up in Sacramento complained about his ineffective dual pane window of being drafty in the winter.  We put shutters on them and they locked out the cold air around his windows.  The same is true of course for summer heat, shutters are great for blocking out the sun’s heat, especially when facing West in the afternoons here in Corona

.Interior Window Shutters

Best Energy Efficiency  Yes, shutters will cut your electricity bills every month.  Your house will stay cooler in the summer and take the strain off you Air Conditioner.

Best Investment  Shutters are attached to your house.  For that reason Realtors leave them on your windows and consider them as an added feature to the house value.  I recently was told by a client who just sold her house that the new buyers said they LOVED her shutters.  Nice to hear.

Best Interior Looks  Shutters look great, offer a timeless classical look.  Shutters are often called the ultimate window coverings

Shutters For New Homes

Shutters

Shutters for New Homes.  Should I buy from the Home Builder or an Independent Window Covering Company?   Let’s discuss the pros and cons.

The Pros and Cons for using Home Builder
  • The only positive thing might be you can put the cost for shutters in your mortgage.
  •  Most builders mark up add on products significantly.
  • Inferior quality is often used,  its called Builder’s Grade.
The Pros and Cons for using Window Covering Company
  • The Cons……Can’t think of anything.  Even if you want to finance it with your mortgage you can still use an Independent Window Covering Company, just get you bid before you close escrow, and add the cost to your loan amount.
  • The Pros are many.  Read More!

At Villa Blind and Shutter we get calls from new homeowners whose new house is still under construction.  We visit the new home, show our shutter or window covering products, and help you choose the best products for your needs and budgets,  It’s this diversity of products that aren’t available when you simply order shutters from the Home Builder.

We have the experience to take everything into account, consider your privacy and light control needs.  There are a great many options when choosing shutters.  Why just let the home builder make everything standard when you might want the split hidden tilt.

Some builders put it very poor quality shutters, when we consult you on shutters we show the high level of our quality samples, so you can rest assured you will receive the best shutters in the market.
