Faux wood plantation shutters are now being sold six to one verses a real wood plantation shutter. The numbers speak for themselves on popularity, quality and technology for these popular window treatments.

We offer three categories of faux wood plantation shutters. These are traditional plantation shutters where there is a solid frame, the louvers are elliptical like an airplane wing and you have a classic tilt bar. Plantation shutters are thicker, more like doors for your windows, than other types of shutters.  Faux wood shutters simply means they are not made of real wood. They will be made of man-made vinyl or composite materials.

The first type of faux wood plantation shutter is the composite shutters. These are a PVC and wood particle mixture. The material is kind of like the mdf material you find in construction. The material is coated with a thick vinyl paint. The advantage of the composite shutter besides affordability is the quality of the shutter itself. The parts are solid, heavy like wood, and look and feel like real wood. It is very hard to tell the difference once the shutter is installed.

The Faux Wood Shutter along with the discount shutter is a 100% vinyl material. The vinyl is extruded in Canada and  produced here in the United States. These do have a slight plastic look but most people cannot tell unless you compare them with other types of shutters. One of the main advantages of these besides cost is the durability. They are extremely hard to damage. Garages, kid's room, closets etc. They are very popular for areas where there is high moisture such as showers, hot-tub, rooms and bathtubs. You can soak these in water and nothing will happen.

All of our faux wood shutters carry a 30 year warranty, are manufactured in the USA and typically ship in around seven working days.
