The Beauty of Composite Shutters
July 15, 2008 – 12:48 pm | by Accent Building Products
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.

A word of warning about ordering the composite shutters. The color may be quite different than you expect and the items are not returnable. I now have $3,000 worth of almost black shutters that were suppose to be evergreen. Buyer beware!

This gentleman is absolutely correct. Please always request the free color samples before placing an order for any composite shutters. It is the only safe way to insure that you are getting the color you truly desire. The only “upside” for this situation (if you could actually call it an upside) is that at least the composite shutters, unlike vinyl, are paintable.
