Privacy
Window shutters are primarily known for the privacy it can excellently deliver to its homeowners. If you don’t have the luxury to live in a secluded place atop a Sydney hill or on a private forest-like residence with lots of nature (think: Cullen’s home in Twilight) then you really need a shutter to temporarily open and shutdown your homes to the prying eyes of outsiders. The good thing about shutters is that you can adjust just how much privacy you want/ need for the time being. You are in control.

Protection
Window shutters offers maximum protection to outside natural elements such as heat, wind, rain, typhoon, etc. Shutters are very advantageous to places where the climate is oftentimes at its extremes, just like curtains in Sydney. Very hot places such as those in the tropical countries, where heat is at its peak during summer will greatly benefit from the cooling effects of a wooden shutter. Imagine the comfort of shutting down to a cool place after a morning stroll on a very hot day. It can also lessen the heat pressure buildup on your windowpane.

Typhoon/ storms need not to bother you if you’ve got window shutters in your home. Shutters protect the windows against strong winds thus eliminating the scenario of broken glass or tossed up home interior.
