Naples Shutter Blog

Naples homeowners know that quality hurricane protection is essential to living in Florida. You might’ve stumbled upon hurricane fabric before, but you’re still curious. Does hurricane fabric work? There’s one fabric that answers that question with a resounding “yes” better than any other: AstroGuard Hurricane Fabric.

Everyone always talks about how they want more natural light in a room. But what everyone actually means is that they want the option of having light. Even if you are a dedicated fan of natural light, there are times when you need to enjoy your home without sunlight intruding into your space.

Plantation shutters are a popular window treatment choice for homeowners looking to add more charm and personality to their homes, and our flagship product here at Naples Shutter. These durable window treatments give you full control over the amount of light in a room, stand up well to daily wear and tear, and give your home a unique look.  

If you live anywhere near the Atlantic Ocean or the Gulf of Mexico, you've likely encountered your fair share of thunderous storms and intense rainfall. Thunderstorms are especially common during the summer. However, as the seasons begin to change, this area becomes prone to tropical storms and hurricanes.  

The United States is no stranger to hurricanes, and neither is Southwest Florida. Hurricane Ian caused historic flooding and utterly devastated sand dunes, piers, city buildings, and homes. Months later, the area is still recovering. Residents are preparing their homes to withstand storms as best they can, and Naples Shutter is here to help.

Naples is one of the prettiest cities in Florida, but it can also be brutally hot during the summer months! The average temperature in Naples in July is 89 degrees Fahrenheit, and humidity is high. This can make it really hard to stay cool inside your home.

As residents of Southwest Florida continue to repair and rebuild their homes after Hurricane Ian, many are looking for ways to improve their defenses against future hurricanes.

When Naples Shutter, Inc first opened its doors 41 years ago, plantation shutters were our most sought-after product. At the time, and for the first 30 years in business, shutters with a 3.5” louver were the most requested style. A louver is the angled slat attached to the vertical stiles that frame the shutter panels. As trends began changing, the larger, 4.5” louver started being requested more often and today approximately 75% of our orders being fulfilled go with the larger louver option for their plantation shutters.

There are few things as lovely as a coastal breeze fluttering through your home. If you live in a beachy, balmy area like our beloved Southwest Florida, you want shutters that provide shade and privacy yet still allow the fresh air and sounds of nature into your home.

Window treatments in your home have the power to completely transform your living space, and Design Studio™ Roller Shades by Hunter Douglas are no exception.
