Hello, shutter enthusiasts! Welcome to We Turn Bare Glass into Class—your go-to guide for window treatment wisdom, served with a dash of Uruguayan flair and North Jersey charm. As the only U.S.-born member of a family rooted in Uruguay🇺🇾, I blend Old World craftsmanship with local expertise to transform your windows into works of art.
At Made in the Shade North Jersey, we’re all about timeless elegance and smart solutions. Let’s crack open the secrets of interior shutters: the ultimate upgrade for homes in Bergen County, Passaic County, and beyond.
1. Are shutters still in style for Northern NJ homes?
Absolutely! Shutters are the little black dress of window treatments—always chic, never outdated. Whether your home is a modern Edgewater loft or a colonial gem in Ridgewood, shutters add instant sophistication. They’re a staple in Northern New Jersey’s design scene, boosting curb appeal and property value. Think of them as the reliable friend who always looks polished (and never forgets to text back).
2. Real wood vs. faux wood shutters: Which is right for me?
Let’s settle this like a friendly asado debate (Uruguay’s answer to the perfect BBQ).
- Real Wood: Lightweight, customizable, and effortlessly elegant. Ideal for living rooms or bedrooms, but keep them away from high-humidity areas (like bathrooms) unless you want warping drama.
- Faux Wood: Our moisture-resistant superhero! Perfect for kitchens, basements, or homes near the Jersey Shore. Durable, affordable, and ready to tackle North Jersey’s humid summers and chilly winters.
Pro tip: Faux wood’s versatility makes it a local favorite for busy households.
3. How do shutters stack up against blinds or shades?
Shutters are the Swiss Army knife of window coverings—privacy, insulation, light control, and timeless style, all in one. Unlike blinds that collect dust or shades that fade, shutters offer unmatched durability. Plus, they’re cordless and easy to clean, making them a hit for families in Hackensack or Hoboken.
4. Are plantation shutters worth the investment?
Think long-term! While shutters cost more upfront than blinds, they’re built to last decades. It’s like marrying your high school sweetheart—no regrets, just lifelong value. For Northern NJ homeowners, they’re a smart upgrade that pays off in energy savings (hello, Nor’easter-proof windows!) and timeless appeal.
5. Can I install shutters myself?
Sure, if you’ve mastered leveling, drilling, and swearing in three languages. But why DIY when our local experts handle precise measurements and installation? Serving North Jersey since day one, we ensure your shutters fit flawlessly—no headaches required.
6. How do I maintain shutters?
Easy as a Sunday morning mate🧉 session:
- Dust weekly with a microfiber cloth.
- Spot-clean with mild soap and water.
No fancy products, no stress. Perfect for busy NJ families!
7. Inside mount vs. outside mount: What’s better?
- Inside Mount: Sleek and tailored, fitting snugly within your window frame (ideal for modern spaces).
- Outside Mount: Extends beyond the frame for maximum light control and a bold statement (great for older homes with unique windows).
Whether you “tuck in” or “leave it casual,” your windows will steal the show.
