Shutters - Popular Window Covering Alternative

Wood shutters have been a popular window covering for a long time; however, it's only been a few years since the new polysatin shutters have been on the market. These shutters will not crack, warp, chip or shrink. They are UV resistant and unaffected by temperature or humidity changes. Color throughout their structure keeps them looking new for as long as you own them. These shutters will never need sanding, repainting or staining and they can be cleaned easily with a soft cloth and soap and water.

They are also flame resistant and I've heard several stories where wild-fires have occurred where homes, with these shutters installed in the windows along with stucco siding and tile roofs, have helped keep the house from being burned while their neighbor's homes were lost to the flames.

They can be ordered in 2-3/8" and 3-3/8" louver sizes and they come with several styles of frames. You can get them with the standard tilt bar in front or have it installed on the backside of the shutter panel, or you can order them without tilt bars at all for a clean unobstructed look. Personally I prefer the wider louver size as it increases the view and light that will enter the room when you have the louvers open. We have them in our Master Bath over a large soaking tub, they are perfect for this application as well as kitchens and children's rooms.
