How long does it take to get shutters?

34
Experts advise that for a simple rectangular average small window a shutter would take approximately an hour to install. If the shutters are to be installed for bay windows then this would take longer at between three to four hours.


Correspondingly, how long does it take to put up hurricane shutters?

It usually takes about five minutes to install aluminum hurricane shutters on an average-size window and less than 10 minutes to protect a sliding patio door. Once you're sure the storm has passed, you can remove the shutters just as quickly by reversing the installation steps.

Likewise, how long does Budget Blinds take? Installations take anywhere from 30 minutes to up to several hours depending on the number of windows and the products purchased. We will give you our best estimate as to the length of your appointment when we schedule.

Additionally, how long does it take to make custom plantation shutters?

The complete plantation shutter process, from your starting consultation to putting your shutters in, usually takes about four to six weeks. The process takes this long because our goal is to build 100% custom shutters for your windows.

At what wind speed should you put up hurricane shutters?

Emergency Preparedness Director Tony Carper said most of Broward will see tropical storm force winds so homeowners should determine as best they can if their glass can withstand 60- to 70-mph winds.

What should I look for when buying plantation shutters?

Choose shutters to flatter your window's shape
First, look at the style and layout of your windows, as plantation shutter panels should always complement the windows' shapes. Shutters are more flexible than other window coverings and can be fitted to any shaped window, even circular or triangular spaces.

Why are custom blinds so expensive?

Shades can be both much cheaper and much more expensive than blinds. A basic roller shade could be as little as $20 per window, while a roman shade with a high quality fabric and motorized lift could be quite a bit more. Because Blinds have fewer custom options, you can get a high end look for less.

Should I put shutters on back of house?

Don't feel you have to put shutters on every window. It's better to have some windows without shutters than to put them on windows that are too wide for them. Don't use a shutter on one side of a window where a door or the corner of the house prevents you from adding its mate.
