Real wood shutters are the best for authenticity. It can be tempting to opt for fake wood, and you can save some money, but you will likely end up regretting it. Cheaper wood styles may look okay for a brief time, but they don’t offer the depth, richness or durability that real wood does. Not to mention, faux wood styles are traditionally made and sold in bulk with poor craftsmanship.
Little additions or home improvement ideas also enhance the value of the house in many ways. Wood shutters promise a classic touch that is timeless and does not readily fade. And real wood complements a space in a way that a cheap imposter can’t.
Real wood is rich and offers warmth to a space. Also, there are no size constraints, so they can often be made for an awkward window. The vinyl ones cannot be opened or closed, they are fixed to the house. Wooden shutters do a good job of protecting your home from the external elements as well, be it weather or inquisitive neighbors.
Wood shutters do require more care than synthetic. They need to be repainted and re-stained on a regular basis to help keep them looking like new and to preserve their longevity. This is a small price to pay for the beauty they will add to your home.
