Wood Shutters Help with Weather Extremes

Wood shutters made from Western Red Cedar, Southern Yellow Pine, Cypress, or composite wood are beautiful additions to the décor and style of a house. Shutters may be finished with clear weather-resistant polyurethane so that the beauty of the wood is seen, or be painted as an accent to the house’s basic color scheme. Either way, the style impact on a house’s exterior makes the house stand out from the rest of the neighborhood. Another very good reason for having real wood shutters, rather than vinyl, is because wood is a natural insulator. If the wood shutters are installed to be functional, hinges and tie-backs are needed. During storms where there may be flying debris, shutters will protect windows from damage. Although not hurricane rated, the shutters at Sunbelt Shutters are heavy enough to withstand strong winds without damaging. In climates where heat is a factor, good wood shutters will block sun and heat from the house, saving in air conditioning costs and fading of carpets and furniture. A special wood shutter style, the bahama or bermuda, is designed with openings between the louvered slats. This allows for air movement from outside to enter, yet still provides light screening. The shutters are hinged at the top and swing out at the bottom, allowing more air flow, yet they will deflect rain showers. Far superior to vinyl shutters, real wood shutters are heavy-duty and functional. Each order of shutters is custom made to the customer’s specifications, so odd-sized windows are easily accommodated. Complete hanging instructions are included for those do-it-yourselfers, as well as instructions on how to measure windows for a custom fit. Whether choosing wood shutters for making the exterior of your house look unique, or for needing weather protection, you will find the choices and customer support at Sunbelt Shutters are superior.
