What Window Treatment Looks Best From Outside?
Shutters are great for increasing curb appeal because they are visible from the outside. Shutters, with their crisp, clean shape and thick louvers, stand out more than other window treatments and complement almost any style of home.
In other words, they can increase curb appeal and improve your home value at the same time. Also, shutters are great for blocking out the outside light and letting the inside light shine through.
Shutters are made of wood or metal, available in any shape or size you can imagine and can be painted to complement your home’s exterior. They can be installed on all sides of a window, including sides that face forward or back to the front yard.
Awnings are used to cover an awning or extend an existing awning, protecting it from the elements. Awnings can be used to shade windows of homes that face the sun, keeping out direct sunlight to avoid overheating. Awnings also provide privacy by shadowing window openings on the sides of homes without blocking views from inside.
Windbreaks protect walls from wind by creating a barrier that deflects air around and between buildings and also directs trees toward roadsides and away from power lines. They can be made out of treated lumber, steel or aluminum, corrugated metal, or plastic.
Windbreaks are typically 4 to 6 feet tall, with a roll-bearing surface, and they block the wind by creating a barrier that deflects air around and between buildings.
