Why are Wood Shutters better than Polywood or Faux Wood Shutters?

Basswood Shutters

Basswood is absolutely the best wood for building window shutters. Basswood is a renewable resource and careful forest management ensures tree harvesting is done responsibly, balancing growth with removal. Each year the United States grows about twice as much hardwood as it harvests.

Basswood shutters are very straight and has a fine uniform texture with an indistinct grain. Basswood machines well and is easy to work, and screws and glues well and can be sanded and stained to a smooth finish. It dries fairly rapidly with little distortion. Basswood has fairly high shrinkage but good dimensional stability when dry.

General Basswood shutter characteristics:

· Does not warp

· Lightweight yet very strong

· Uniform grain for a beautiful stain finish

· Low in resin and tannin which may bleed through finish

· Renewable resource which is replenished as it is harvested

· Superior gluing and finishing properties.

Synthetics, Plastics, Vinyl, Faux Wood, and Poly Wood

Many synthetics incorporate "wood" in their name, but most contain no wood and are usually called faux wood or poly shutters. They are made from stock size components with few, if any, custom options. Colors are very limited and cannot be stained. Many are heavy and tend to sag over time. Additionally, all synthetics are manufactured from nonrenewable resources as they are usually petroleum based
