What’s the Difference?

Not only do wooden and poly shutters look different, but they also come with their own strengths and weaknesses.  Where one falls short, the other exceeds.  This section will break down the differences in price, style, and longevity of both options, to help you better understand them.  You can also visit our gallery to see examples of both.  We can match any stain or finish with real wood shutters, but we also offer a wide selection of poly shutters.

Wooden Shutters

Wooden shutters are the go-to for most of our customers.  They provide a traditional high-class style that lasts for years.  The rarity of real wood makes them more unique and therefore, more expensive.  Although they look elegant and classic, they aren’t always practical.  On one hand, if they are installed in a moist environment, they might eventually warp with time.  Secondly, the unavoidable fact of the matter is that real wood is always susceptible to being scratched, chipped, or cracked.  However, if they are installed in a proper environment, where they are not exposed to moisture or excessive wear and tear, they can provide your home with traditional warmth and style for years on end.  Real wood is naturally very strong and durable.  It also gives way to a seemingly endless list of possibilities, since it can also be painted or stained virtually any color.   

Poly Shutters

Poly shutters are the more affordable and, often times, more practical option.  While they are made of a wood substitute, and therefore don’t resemble real wood, they do carry a style that is fitting for the modern home.  They are also moisture-resistant, meaning that they won’t warp, and they won’t chip or crack.  However, poly shutters do weigh more than wood ones, which means that they put more pressure on the hinges and frames they are installed into.  If the panels are made too large, they can start to sag over time.  That’s why Gallery Shutters Inc.  takes the time and care to measure and install our poly shutters perfectly.  We offer poly shutters in a wide variety of colors, which are known to hold throughout the shutter’s lifetime.  

What’s the point?

The bottom line is that we can help you decide which shutters are perfect for you and your Anaheim home.  Although real wood is the first choice of many of our customers, for those on a tighter budget, poly shutters are a close runner-up.  Both can last for long periods of time, but wood shutters might have to be repainted every decade or so, while poly shutters hold their color throughout their lifetime.  It is more difficult to damage poly shutters, but they are also much heavier than wood.  Lastly, and, perhaps more importantly, is the fact that, whatever style of shutters you want for your home, Gallery Shutters Inc. can help you find what’s right for you.  Call us at 1 (800) 462-8777 or visit GalleryShuttersInc.com to schedule your free in-home estimate today.
