Three Types of Shutters for Homes Near Bedford, OH
Back in the day, a shutter was made from some wood and placed in the window. These days, shutters are so much more - though traditional wood shutters are one of many great options available to us. And thank goodness! Since no two homes are alike in terms of style, operational needs, and customization preferences, having options when it comes to your shutters is practically a necessity. That is why Hunter Douglas offers three distinct shutter options for you to choose from - Heritance® Wood Shutters, Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters, and NewStyle® Composite Shutters.
Whether you are searching for a timeless, classic shutter, a shutter that can thrive in heat and humidity, or a shutter that combines modern and traditional elements, Hunter Douglas has a shutter for you. Read on to learn more about the three types of shutters for homes within our Hunter Douglas collection.
Genuine Wood Shutters
Made of high-quality genuine hardwood, our Hunter Douglas Heritance® Wood Shutters are the first of the three types of shutters for homes that we are excited to talk about. Perfect for traditionalists and those who desire a warm, timeless look at their windows, these genuine wood shutters instantly elevate a space with their natural beauty. Made with Truemill® dovetail construction - the same type of construction seen in fine furnishings - these shutters are promised to maintain their beauty and function throughout the years. An investment that pays back in full with its timeless, stunning styles, these shutters will impress anyone who sees them. These shutters also offer an effortless One-Touch Closure system with the available SoftClose™ Louvers and Quick Align™ features. Select from any one of our fine colors or create your own for a unique look that you will love.
Durable Vinyl Shutters
Next up on our list of three types of shutters for homes are vinyl shutters. These weather-resistant, long-lasting, and maintenance-free window treatments are perfect if you want a shutter in a space that sees a lot of sunlight, moisture, or heat, including bathrooms, kitchens, and sunrooms.
Our Hunter Douglas Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters are an excellent option when it comes to finding the best vinyl shutters for your home. Crafted specifically to withstand extreme elements, these shutters are perfect for those who want a low-maintenance window treatment that offers endless beauty. Available in three neutral colors, these shutters easily fit in with any aesthetic - guaranteed to not fade, warp, or discolor - our Palm Beach Promise™ to you.
Stylish Composite Shutters
Last but certainly not least on our list of three types of shutters for homes are composite shutters. These types of shutters are created with man-made materials designed for extra durability and moisture resistance. Though similar to hardwood and vinyl, these shutters offer a more realistic wood aesthetic thanks to their many color options. Perfect for high-energy households as well as bathrooms, kitchens, and sunrooms, our practical NewStyle® Hybrid Shutters combine the look of genuine wood with the durability of composite materials for one stunning window treatment. Plus, they are constructed with the same Truemill® dovetail construction as our 100% hardwood option for lasting strength and fine finishing.
