What Type Of Exterior Shutters Are Right For Your Home?

So you decided that you were going to add some exterior shutters to your home but you're not quite sure which shutters are right for your home and for your style of decor. While there is some thinking and time involved in choosing the right shutters for your home it doesn't need to be an overly difficult decision.

Exterior shutters are available in many shapes and many different types of materials. Vinyl shutters are often more affordable than their wood and metal brethren and are readily available at most home improvement stores, though cheaper vinyl shutters often look plastic. There is of course also shutters made of wood which are great for homeowners who don't mind a high maintenance investment. Wood shutters must be cleaned regularly and be treated with chemicals that prevent rot, cracking, and peeling. Metal shutters are popular with homeowners who don't want a lot of customization and with those who want to keep things simple.

A homeowner needs to consider the neighborhood and the environment that they live in prior to selecting any type of exterior shutter for their home. Furthermore weather and season extremes need to be taken into heavy consideration as rain, snow, sleet, hail and even extreme heat and dryness can ruin certain types of shutters very quickly.
