There are different materials that maybe used in designing, crafting and finishing window shutters. With the precise nature of California shutters, there is need to perfectly blend the best materials, the right workmanship and a superior finish. This allows them to exceed the limits of architectural excellence offered by conventional shutters. Having the right material for the window shutters is important as it critically defines the durability, cost of installation, as well as the ability to blend-in with the architectural design of your house. Common materials you can select for your window shutters include:

 

Wood

Wooden California shutters are best for buildings with traditionally old-school concepts where the wooden finish can add elegance even without having them painted. When painted, the shutters may be used in various other applications. Instead of painting the wood, a shiny furnish/stain is also an excellent alternative that allows for the visibility of the woody grains and age-rings. These have an aesthetic effect in making otherwise simple shutters look ultra-modern and elegant. 

 

Metal

A delightful material for enhancing the service life of your shutters is crafting them from metal bars. Different metals may be used in making your shutters, with iron being the most common. When used in making shutters for use in moist and high humidity areas, think paint or powder coating is recommended. It preserves the surfaces from rusting and getting damaged by the extreme weather conditions.  

 

Vinyl

The use of vinyl shutters is among the latest developments where light weight window blinds and window shutters are recommended. Vinyl is a light plastic-like material that allows for use in diverse areas without losing durability, sturdiness and tolerance to bad weather.
