There are many different types of window shutters to choose from, not just in terms of styles but also in terms of material. Thankfully, you can always rely on a professional manufacturer of window shutters for good advice.
Pine and poplar wood previously held records as the perfect material for window shutters. Today, they still have a lasting appeal thanks to their timeless aesthetic. Basswood became the best option because they're lightweight and have natural beauty. If you don't find their natural finish appealing, you can safely paint over them.
Synthetic wood window shutters are beautiful in their own right. Plus, manufacturers can customize their patterns and aesthetics to suit your needs. They do not suffer from moisture damage like real wood, making them the more durable option between the two.
Closed-cell foam is a prime candidate for excellent shutters because of its fire and water resistance. Plus, their density gives your home the best insulation possible versus traditional lightweight wood or modern vinyl. Their only downside is their weight.
Vinyl can easily be used for hollow PVC shutters with exceptional durability and dependability for more than half the cost of any shutter material in this list. While they might have a plastic appearance, they're worth every penny and promise exceptional durability.
Wood composites with synthetic materials or reinforced wood shutters are highly durable and offer density and insulation capabilities parallel to those of synthetic foam shutters. Both materials might be heavy, but composites offer a more natural wood look than synthetic foam.
