Composite Shutters That Last Through the Seasons

Tough, Beautiful, and Built for Indoor or Outdoor Use

Composite shutters provide long-lasting performance in any setting. Designed to handle moisture, sunlight, and daily wear, they offer a stable, stylish solution for windows, doors, and high-humidity areas.

Engineered for Stability and Style

Low-Maintenance Design That Resists Moisture, Warping, and Fading

Composite shutters are made from a blend of engineered wood, PVC, and polymer resins—designed to outperform traditional materials. These shutters won’t swell, crack, or split in extreme temperatures or damp conditions. Their core construction gives them superior dimensional stability, while the exterior surface resists chipping and discoloration. Louvers stay aligned, and shutter panels retain their structure over time, making them a top choice for both interior and exterior installations. Best of all, they require very little upkeep to stay looking sharp.

Material Composition and Core Benefits

How Advanced Composites Improve Durability and Appearance

Composite shutters combine wood particles or polymers with a synthetic binder, resulting in a dense, uniform core that resists swelling, cracking, or insect damage. Unlike natural wood, these shutters maintain consistent shape and finish across varying humidity levels. The finish can be smooth or wood-grain embossed, depending on the desired look. This makes composite a smart choice for bathrooms, kitchens, and exterior use. They also provide excellent insulation, reducing heat transfer through windows and increasing overall energy efficiency.

Interior and Exterior Installation Options

Framed to Fit With Functional and Decorative Mounting Styles

Composite shutters can be installed inside the window recess for a flush, built-in look, or outside-mounted with decorative frames or trim extensions. Exterior applications include fixed or operable hardware like hinges, slide bolts, or storm-rated holdbacks. Interior mounting options support inside or surface-mounted configurations with café, full-height, or tiered panel layouts. Shutters can be adapted to fit arched, angled, or oversized windows using custom-cut panels and adjustable divider rails. Each installation type is chosen based on window depth, usage, and design intent.
