What Are Exterior Shutters Made Of?

In continuing with our discussion of exterior shutters, many people who've never purchased them often wonder what materials these types of shutters are made from. The general consensus is that all exterior shutters are made from the same materials as those used in the construction of interior shutters.

This consensus is fairly accurate as exterior shutters are available in aluminum, iron, wood, and in some cases vinyl. The type of shutt a home owner selects will largely be dependent on budget, personal tastes, and desired length of investment. As most of us know even the most costly and well put together wood and metal will shutters face an uphill battle with regards to things like moisture and heat. These battles leave these types of shutters warped, cracks, and peeling. Vinyl shutters on the other hand require very little care and last a great length of time before ever needing to be replaced.

The area in which a home is situated in also plays a factor in what type of exterior shutter a homeowner will want to purchase. Areas with extreme weather will require not only shutters made of a specific type of material but a specialized exterior shutter as well. With so many choices available with regards to exterior shutters its a good idea to consult a professional before purchasing any all.
