Types of Material to Use for Window Shutters
When choosing which window shutters are best for your New Jersey home, you should consider several factors, such as the room in which they will be installed, the width of your windows, and the existing design of the room. These factors will affect what kind of material you should use for your window shutters.
Each kind of material has its own advantages and disadvantages – given how varied your choices are, it’s important to discuss what material will work best for your home and budget.
Aluminum
Aside from being low maintenance, aluminum shutters offer long-term durability. They are very lightweight and provide great quality at a cost-effective price. Unlike wood, they don’t deteriorate over time and won’t rot, warp, or crack in the sun. Aluminum shutters are highly customizable as well, so you can have your pick of styles and designs. One downside, though, to using aluminum shutters is that they are susceptible to rust and corrosion if not taken care of properly.
Medium Density Fiber (MDF)
Medium density fiber material is a manufactured wood composite that is basically wood fibers and sawdust mixed with glue, which is then formed into the required shape. There is a wide range of coatings available for MDF shutters, from paint to vinyl wraps, and can be made to look like expensive wood shutters. MDF shutters are low-cost, stylish, and resistant to warping. However, they have a tendency to swelling when exposed to too much moisture.
Plastic
If you’re looking for window shutters that can withstand the humidity of bathrooms and kitchens, then plastic shutters are your go-to. They are completely non-porous and can last a lifetime because they are so sturdy and stable. You don’t have to worry about the look of plastic shutters either, because you can completely customize their look. They can be as elegant as you want them to be.
Wood
Wood is a classic material to use for your window shutters. It has been around for centuries and continues to be a popular choice. This material not only gives your shutters a unique look and feel but it is also very versatile, durable, sustainable, and insulating. It is a great choice for any home, be it modern or traditional in design. The one downside of wood as shutter material is that it cannot handle prolonged exposure to moisture. It will become warped and damaged over time. If exposed to the weather, it can also fade and crack.
The main types of wood found in window shutters are hardwood and basswood. Hardwood includes teak, oak, and beech – slow-growing trees that are robust and strong. Meanwhile, basswood, a smooth and fine-grained material, is sourced from lime trees. It is popular among shutter manufacturers.
No matter the material, most types of window shutters will result in energy savings. This is because shutters reduce heat gain during summers and heat loss during winters.

We have more than two decades of experience with creating custom window treatments that will make your home uniquely yours. Contact us today for more information.
