Composite Shutters Provide the Look of Wood with Added Durability
For the natural appeal of wood shutters without the maintenance, composite shutters offer the best of both worlds. Composite shutters blend synthetic materials to achieve the aesthetic of wood with enhanced durability.
Composite shutters are made by bonding wood fibers, polymers, resin and other materials. This creates a shutter with the classic grain look of wood but with greater strength and weather-resistance. Composite shutters prevent the cracking, splintering, and rotting issues of real wood.
Benefits of Low-Maintenance Composite Shutters
What makes composite an advantageous alternative to natural wood shutters?

Enhanced Durability
Tougher and more impact-resistant than real wood:
- Withstands severe hail, storms, and flying debris
- Resists dings, fractures, termite damage

Low Maintenance
No refinishing, staining, or frequent painting:
- Just occasional washing is required
- Finish won’t erode or peel over time
- Saves time and expense over wood’s upkeep
Get the natural beauty of real wood paired with superior durability by choosing composite shutters for long-lasting performance and style.
