Vinyl shutters are more expensive than MDF, but they have a more advanced design and better features, including a much longer guarantee. (Did we mention 25 years compared to 3 offered by most companies?)

Basswood and cedar are the two most popular species used for wood plantation shutter models. Both softwoods produce oils that make them resistant to heat and moisture. Rather than absorbing water, the moisture rolls off the wood preventing cracking and distortions over time.

When it comes to durability, aluminium variations have a clear advantage over PVC shutters. They are more resistant to impact, weather, and wear and tear, which can make them a great option for homes and businesses in high-risk areas. Additionally, they are less likely to crack or deform with time.
