When you think of plantation shutters, what’s the first thing that springs to mind? For me it’s a charming colonial-era style house with large windows and shutters that open up to views over a lake in the summer time; or a quaint Spanish cottage that overlooks a cliff-side village with winding streets and alleys filled with a kaleidoscope of potted plants. This is because plantation shutters are widely associated with residential properties. But, what if we told you that plantation shutters could be the perfect addition for your café’s commercial renovation? In this article, we’re going to talk about the benefits of having plantation shutters installed in your café.

1 – A warm & inviting aesthetic

The very fact that plantation shutters are so commonly associated with residential properties can work in your favour. By installing plantation shutters in your office you will be creating a warm & inviting aesthetic that will attract more customers and make them want to stick around for longer.

2 – Individual privacy

Having plantation shutters in your café gives your customers the option to have their own individual privacy. For example, one table sitting near a window may prefer to have their plantation shutters closed – particularly if they are working, whereas another table may enjoy having their shutters open so that they can people watch while enjoying a delicious brew.

Furthermore, if you are hosting a private event or some form of special occasion, you can decide as to whether you have your shutters wide open or closed to prevent people from looking in from the street.

3 – Advanced light control

Without decent window covering solutions in your café, it will be difficult to provide your customers with proper light control. This can be off-putting, particularly for those who may be using your café as a remote working space.

For example, plantation shutters allow you to open and shut the individual slats (louvres), thus allowing you to reduce the amount of sunlight entering your windows. This is especially helpful for reducing glare on laptop screens (which can otherwise make it impossible to work).

4 – Versatility

Do you have awkward shaped windows in your café? Perhaps you have bay windows or warped walls that make traditional window coverings practically useless? Whatever the case, plantation shutters are highly versatile and customisable, allowing you to have them manufactured and installed to fit your unique window situation. You can check out Perth’s Boutique Plantation Shutters for some inspiration.

5 – Temperature control

Depending on the time of year, it can be difficult to control the temperature of your café without having to rely heavily on air conditioning. With plantation shutters however, you can better insulate your café during the winter months, and indeed allow more shade and breeze to help cool your establishment at the height of summer. Keep your customers comfortable and reduce your carbon footprint / energy bills. It’s a win-win!

Final thoughts

As you can see, plantation shutters can do so much more than merely enhance a café’s aesthetics. They’re warm and inviting, they’re excellent for individual privacy, they offer advanced light and temperature control, they’re incredible versatile, and they even offer an additional layer of security when closed and secured. To top it all off, plantation shutters are renowned for being easy to clean and maintain; perfect for keeping your café looking fresh and cosy all year round!
