A gable vent is ideal for attic spaces to allow stagnant air, humidity and trapped heat to escape. But what about those who aren’t really in need of ventilation, who instead would just like the look of a gable vent on their home’s exterior. This could be the case if you have a bonus room or finished attic space where heating and air conditioning exists. In livable spaces a functional gable vent would not be needed. Luckily, Fypon offers all their stylish louvers in both functioning and non-functioning versions. A non-venting Fypon louver is a solid, one-piece urethane unit that does not allow air to pass through. Offered in the same designs as the functioning, the non-venting louvers create architectural interest to what would otherwise be a plain, ordinary gable space.

In today’s world of cookie cutter housing developments it is often left to the smaller accent pieces to put the finishing touches on your home that will set you apart from the rest. For many years now vinyl shutters have been thought of as an easy, and inexpensive way of adding your own flair. The only problem is that now everyone and their mother has added the same stationary shutters in one of the 4 most popular colors, and there is no longer anything distinct about them. They are as common as the 15 shades of beige vinyl siding that they rest upon. This doesn’t mean that shutter are no longer a perfect accent piece, it just means that you may want to look into an alternative material and design. May we suggest composite?
Exterior shutters made of wood composite materials are the best looking, closest to wood looking shutter you will find. The bonus; they are maintenance free, they can be hung on optional metal hinges that actually operate (we haven’t seen vinyl shutters that can do that) , they will not rot or crack like traditional wood shutters, and they maintain their beauty for many years to come. Backed by a 10 year warranty Winworks Composite Shutters are available in 40 beautiful colors finished in automotive quality paint. With construction of up to 1 ¼” thickness (dependant on style) it is easy to see how they provide superior structural strength. A huge variety of sizes are offered with widths of 12, 14, 15, 16 and 18 inches available, as well as lengths in 1” increments from 28” – 91”. The 5 styles offered range from traditional to modern contemporary. Without a doubt there is a size and style available to compliment any home. Beautiful composite shutters definitely stand out, offering a richness and dimension that ordinary vinyl shutters never have. When you want the “real thing” look without the “real thing” rot and maintenance, exterior composite shutters are your answer.
