The question that has been asked of me every day for the last 23 years has a simple answer. Should I put Composite Shutters or Wood Shutters in my home. The answer is yes. Which choice depends on your goals and lifestyle. First are we matching any wood products in the home? Floors or Cabinets. The answer to this drives wether to use Composite Shutters or Wood Shutters. Let’s say you have built a beautiful Log Cabin and you want Wood Shutters. How do I know you want wood shutters you ask. The answer is really simple.
Composite Shutters do no look like real wood. This may be the easiest way to drive your decision making. Real wood with a stain is the only way your shutters will match the Beauty and timelessness of real wood. Composite shutters are the best choice for any type of application that is a paint match. They look beautiful on a white or off white trim and complete the look for any room giving you privacy and light control. What is Going On in your Home is the next question. Do you have a Dog? Composite Shutters hold up to large breeds better than real wood. Unfortunately no shutter is impervious to the will of a Jack Russell Terrier. I love these dogs and they love shutters as a chew toy. Honestly the pups that suffer from separation anxiety are hard on all types of window treatments.
Lastly, do you plan on staying in the home for the next ten years? If you do then consider the lower maintenance of the composite shutter. I hope you find this little bit of my life useful. Thanks for reading.
