Types Of Plantation Shutters
You have to be skeptical and analytical while
choosing the best plantation shutters for your
home. It is because you need the best quality,
perfect size, and attractive color. The material
is also another important element, which
determines its cost and appearance. What are the
different types of shutters? What should you look
for while buying them from the best plantation
shutters Adelaide supplier? Here is detailed
information about different types of plantation
shutters and their characteristics.

Hardwood shutters
It is a premium quality shutter material. It is
durable and perhaps the lightest one. But it is
not very appropriate when the humidity and
moisture level is also high. Higher-quality
hardwood shutters are made from furniture- grade
wood, e.g., poplar or basswood. These woods
retain paint well and they have stunning natural
glare and beautiful appearance. Furniture-grade
wood is the finest grade wood.

When the wood leaves the lumber mill, only that
wood is graded as furniture-grade, which does not
have knots, cracks, and moisture content. Such
wood is blemish-free, lasts longer, and has a
better appearance. Also, it resists bleeding,
warping, and splintering.

Faux Wood
Faux wood is a popular style of plantation
shutters. It looks identical to wood, but often
costs less and provides better insulation. This
wood is also lightweight, and it is suitable for
rooms where the moisture and humidity are high,
e.g., kitchen, and bathroom. Also, it is better
if you live in a coastal area where humidity is
high.

Nowadays, you can get PVC shutters from
Plantation Shutter Adelaide suppliers. PVC is
sturdy and energy- efficient, typically three
times more efficient than wood. It does not have
problems like cracking, chipping, or peeling.
They do not warp and bend.
7
Vinyl
If you compare cost-wise, then Vinyl is the least
expensive material for plantation shutters. They
are weather- and moisture-resistant. Further
cost-effective material is hollow vinyl. But
plantation shutters Adelaide made from hollow
vinyl sags over time.

Composite

• One more inexpensive material choice for
  plantation shutters is engineered wood. Examples
  are MDF, composite or laminate. MDF, for example,
  is made from a combination of sawdust and glue.
• They are cost-effective, but not very much
  durable to wear and tear.
• Many of these materials are not
  moisture-resistant. So, they are a poor choice
  for humid climates. Humidity can break them down
  faster. Thus, you might end up replacing the
  shutters faster than expected.
