ABOUT VINYL SHUTTERS

Exterior Shutters, when hinged and fitted with appropriate shutter hardware, are capable of being opened and closed, and can provide additional security as well as being decorative. Other external shutters are fixed to the wall, and are purely for decorative purposes. Exterior shutters are usually made of wood or vinyl; they may also be made of aluminum. Wood exterior shutters are usually supplied unfinished; vinyl exterior shutters are available in a wide range of colors. They do not require painting, but will fade gradually over time.

The leading vinyl shutter manufacturers, listed below the panel of sponsored links, have comprehensive websites, with information on all aspects of vinyl shutters, including online catalogs, colours and materials for vinyl shutters, and care and maintenance of vinyl shutters.
