Great Quality And Durability -- Even In The Toughest Of Conditions: Vinyl Exterior Shutters

For some homes, traditional wooden shutters are not a good option. Many homes are located in sections of the country that receive a great deal of inclement weather: rain, snow storms, ice and hail -- not to mention high winds. Many homeowners living in these locations do not want to run the risk of installing expensive wooden shutters, only to have them damaged. Our recommendation is the installation of vinyl exterior shutters -- they will help your home look good, and are extremely durable. Here's a rundown on a few manufacturers and products which are available --
First on our list are some shutters made up by Builders Edge, Inc. They call this line their Do it Best Raised Panel Vinyl Shutters. Normally these shutters are priced at something just over $70 retail. These vinyl exterior shutters measure 15" x 67". According to the manufacturer, these shutters are constructed from a co-polymer vinyl, and the color is not sprayed on but is embedded throughout the material. These vinyl exterior shutters come with a 40 year warranty -- and this also includes a warranty on the finish color! What this means is that these shutters are maintenance-free -- they will never scratch, peel, or flake.
If you pop over to the architectural depot, you will find that they offer a multitude of different types of vinyl exterior shutters. One of their products that I like best are their Cathedral Open Louver, All Louver Custom Window Shutters. These are decorative, not functional shutters, which means that they are used for decorative purposes -- they have no backing to them. Installation of these vinyl exterior shutters is very simple: you simply attach them to the wall of your house with the included matching vinyl screws. Their list price is just under $290, but for architectural depot members they can pick them up at just under $48 a pair. Highly recommended!
Of course an established name in the field of home repair and home improvement is Sears. As you might expect, you can pick up some very good looking vinyl exterior shutters from them. I like ordering from Sears -- you can buy your items online, and arrange to pick them up your self from a nearby Sears store. They provide all sorts of warranties and protection agreements, and if your item turns out to be not what you wanted, the merchandise is easy to return. And of course, any purchases you make through Sears can be placed on your Sears credit card -- so you will have the convenience of paying for your vinyl exterior shutters via low monthly payments.
Finally, another good source for vinyl exterior shutters is nothingbuthardware.com. I particularly like their 15" x 36", White Open Louver Vinyl Shutter. These shutters also come with a 40 year warranty. You can install these vinyl exterior shutters on top of just about any type of surface: stucco, brick, vinyl, aluminum, and wood. These vinyl exterior shutters come in white, black, forest green, wineberry. When purchased singly, these vinyl exterior shutters will set you back about $22.
