Shutter Up!

Homeowners seeking a cost-effective way to gain more privacy in the home can "shutter up" with interior acrylic block window coverings that install over the inside of existing glass windows. Similar to plantation shutters or blinds, the lightweight acrylic block shutters install in just 20 minutes to the inside of the home to add decorative style and privacy to a room.

Custom sized to fit a specific window, Coronado Block Shutters are made of a cellular PVC composite. Block patterns are available in Clear Wave and Obscure Wave, providing privacy options.

"There are many situations when a home is 'almost perfect' but can greatly benefit from privacy shutters," says Roger Murphy with Hy-Lite/U S Block Windows, manufacturers of Coronado Block Shutters™. "Perhaps your bathroom garden tub has a clear glass window over it -- and you'd like some privacy to soak. Or, your home office overlooks a busy street. You want the light to energize your office space, but you'd also like privacy for concentration. Or, your living room seems a bit 'too close' to the neighbor's house and you'd like to 'shutter up' in the evenings to enjoy a night with the family. These are all ideal scenarios for adding interior acrylic block shutters to the rooms in the home."

Available nationwide, the lightweight acrylic block shutters help prevent energy loss through windows. The interior shutters install over existing window openings and are an easy do-it-yourself project. Operating on corrosion-resistant hinges, the acrylic block shutters will not warp, chip, flake, yellow or mold. For more information, visit www.coronadoblockshutters.com.
