How To Select The Most Durable Shutter In Riverside
Recently, a previous customer reached out to one of our stores in Texas. The client had lost their home to a twister earlier this year, but the home’s Sunburst Polywood® plantation shutters held out.
Most likely, your shutters won’t need to survive a twister. But there are a number of qualities to look for when looking for shutters in Riverside that are durable and will look beautiful for a lifetime.
*Disclaimer: Sunburst Shutters doesn’t guarantee that their our products will withstand a tornado or other natural disasters, but this is just one example of the durability and hardiness of our Polywood shutters. See our lifetime warranty.
Solid Material
The number one quality to look for when you need a resilient window treatment is that it’s made from an incredibly resilient material. For wood shutters, look for products constructed from wood that’s both solid and lightweight. Both high-grade teak and basswood (the woods used in our Ovation® shutters) meet this criteria.
If you’re in the market for faux wood shutters, choose those made from a solid compound such as our Polywood® shutters. These shutters are sturdier than composite shutters, which have an interior wrapped with poly-vinyl which more easily shows cosmetic defects. Polywood shutters are also resistant to moisture, fire, and termites.
High Quality Construction
How a shutter is constructed is an important piece of its sturdiness over time. Polywood shutters utilize tension control pins that keep the louvers tight. They also have epoxy-coated stainless steel staples which are incredibly hard to take out. Polywood’s core is solid, and its joints are reinforced and glued for spectacular toughness. Sunburst’s Ovation shutters are the only five star wood shutter in the world and are made with two different types of joints: mortise-and-tenon and dowel, which adds sturdiness. Sunburst is the sole place which makes shutters constructed to survive the most extreme conditions.
Sunburst Shutters also takes special consideration in the measuring, creation, and installation processes to give you picture-perfect custom shutters that fit your windows perfectly.
Color Steadfastness
You want shutters that will look brand-new 20 years after the initial purchase. A good number of composite shutters may discolor or fade over time. Our Polywood shutters are encased with a special paint that contains UV-inhibitors to prevent discoloration. In addition, a simple once over with a dustrag is all you need to keep your plantation shutters spotless.
Protective Warranty
When selecting shutters or other window treatments, your warranty is one more key detail. When choosing a premier shutter, you need a warranty to protect your investment. Our Polywood shutters come with a lifetime warranty that protect you from any problems in materials, workmanship, paint finish, or installation. Our Ovation shutters include a warranty which protects you from any defects.
