NORCROSS, GA, June 21, 2013 (Press-News.org) The faux plantation shutters provider, Eclipse Shutters, would like to remind its customers that blinds are a thing of the past. Shutters are more elegant, more functional and most importantly, more durable. Many homeowners tend to be attracted to blinds due to their low prices, but the faux wood shutters dealer points out that the long-term benefits of a quality set of shutters greatly outweigh these initial cost-savings.
Blinds are vulnerable and can be easily damaged. It doesn't take much to bend or break the individual pieces of plastic. It is important to note that this can occur even if you are trying to be careful with the material. Many people accidentally damage their blinds when they go to clean them, for instance.
Unless you want to live with a dysfunctional and unappealing window covering, you will need to replace the set of blinds in the event that they are broken. These costs can add up over time.
According to Shannon Hodges, Director of Marketing for the plantation interior shutters manufacturer, "Faux-wood shutters are stylish and are designed to be more energy-efficient, which means you will be saving more money as soon as they are installed. You also have greater control over how much light is allowed into the room, which is a feature most home owners like."
If you want to maximize your privacy, save on heating and cooling costs and spend less time maintaining your window coverings, faux-wood shutters are the only way to go. Blinds may be suitable in some situations, but they are generally not the preferred option.

Writing Tips from Prompt Proofing - Punctuate with Care!
2013-06-21
Yes, punctuation really does matter - consider the following:
"Let's eat, Grandma!"
as opposed to
"Let's eat Grandma!" (Oh, those adorable little cannibals!)
Commas, semicolons and periods give us natural pauses and are there for a very good reason. Used correctly, they make sentences more readable - used incorrectly, they make for frustrating reading and possible misunderstandings.
Commas can serve different purposes but they frequently separate lists and clauses:
In front of her was an array of precious jewels that would dazzle the ...
Children from the poorest families are twice as likely to contract malaria than the least poor
2013-06-20
The collaborative study, led by Durham University and the London School of Hygiene &Tropical Medicine, is published today in The Lancet and unusually brings together the health and development communities.
Half the world's population is at risk from malaria. A review of studies from different locations across the world with risk factors for the disease showed clearly that in these impoverished communities, the risk of malaria was doubled in the poorest children compared with the least poor.
The team considered how aspects of development, such as improved house construction, ...
Researchers identify 'master coordinator' for aortic rupture
2013-06-20
Every year, more than 16,000 Americans die as a result of what's known as an "aortic dissection" — a catastrophic rupture of the aorta, the body's largest artery. Once thought to be a simple structural failure, aortic dissection is now understood to be caused by an inflammatory process that weakens the artery's walls.
University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston researchers have been at the forefront of understanding this process. In earlier studies they linked the blood-pressure-regulating molecule, angiotensin II, to the immune signaling protein IL6, which they ...
Natural underwater springs show how coral reefs respond to ocean acidification
2013-06-20
Ocean acidification due to rising carbon dioxide levels reduces the density of coral skeletons, making coral reefs more vulnerable to disruption and erosion.
The results are from a study of corals growing where underwater springs naturally lower the pH of seawater. (The lower the pH, the more acidic.)
The findings are published today in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and are the first to show that corals are not able to fully acclimate to low pH conditions in nature.
"People have seen similar effects in laboratory experiments," said paper ...
Current global food production trajectory won't meet 2050 needs
2013-06-20
Crop yields worldwide are not increasing quickly enough to support estimated global needs in 2050, according to a study published June 19 in the open access journal PLOS ONE by research associate Deepak Ray and colleagues from the Institute on the Environment (IonE) at the University of Minnesota.
Previous studies estimate that global agricultural production may need to increase 60 percent to meet increasing demands and provide food security. In the current study, researchers assessed agricultural statistics from across the world and found that yields of four key crops ...
Recent progress in gene-sensing strategies for rapid detection of foodborne pathogens
2013-06-20
Food is the basis of human survival and development, and its safety is an important issue for people's livelihood, and also an important indicator to measure the quality of people's lives in a country. The statistics showed that the main factor of Chinese food poisoning remained to be microbial pathogens, ranking before the chemical toxin. In food contamination, some common and highly pathogenic pathogens include Listeria monocytogenes, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Norwalk and Rotavirus, which are the culprit cause of food poisoning. In the hot and humid southern China, the ...
