Primary Type 1: Composite
These are less expensive compared to hardwood, about 20% to 25% on average. They are a compressed PVC mix put together to mimic the look of authentic wood. Because they are vinyl, they go best in places around the home with a lot of moisture such as bathrooms and kitchens.
Primary Type 2: Hardwood
Hardwood shutters are more expensive, but for a very good reason: nothing can truly beat or replace the authentic look and feel of real wood. These shutters are about 19% to 26% lighter in weight than composite as well, which translates to easier use and less sag over time compared to their vinyl counterparts. Our hardwood shutters are manufactured locally, right here in Idaho!
Different Shutter Options 1: Tilt System (Center Rod)
Features a bar that runs vertically down the center and allows the user to actuate the shutters manually.
Different Shutter Options 1: Hidden Tilt Rod
