Shutters are classic window treatments thanks to their robust design and unrivaled durability. Their louvers are less prone to breakage than flimsy box store blind slats, and their maneuverability allows for better light control and privacy than shades. The lack of cords keep windows clutter-free and family-safe.
For homeowners in hot and humid climates or in high-activity homes, however, hardwood shutters aren’t always the most durable option. Hardwood shutters are still vulnerable to cracking and warpage due to heat and moisture, which can make them difficult to place throughout your home. Composite shutters make good alternatives to hardwood shutters, performing well where wood otherwise can’t.
Considering Composite Shutters
Composite shutters use a combination of wood and manmade materials to maintain the natural warmth and character of hardwood shutters while making them more resilient. They can be placed without worry in otherwise problematic areas like kitchens, laundry rooms, and bathrooms.
VSC Window Coverings is proud to provide one of the widest selections of composite shutters in Eugene, OR, offering composite shutters from industry leaders like Hunter Douglas, Graber®, Norman®, and Kirsch® to ensure that homeowners receive long-lasting window treatments they’ll enjoy for years to come.
