Advantages of Wooden Shutters over Vinyl Shutters

<h1>Advantages of Wooden Shutters over Vinyl Shutters</h1>Author: <a title="Mike Shell" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/mike-shell/190267.htm">Mike Shell</a> Architectural design in recent years has used windows as a strategic design element in creating a custom looking home. Double-insulated windows with high R-factor ratings have allowed architects to design increased window sizes and windows with unusual shapes. To complete the look of a custom home, designers will also include exterior shutters to give the house added street appeal. The choices in styles of vinyl or wooden shutters are many. Vinyl shutters do a pretty good job of simulating the wood look. The cost is less at the outset, but there are significant drawbacks to vinyl that may end up costing more in the long run. Most notably is that vinyl shutters do not have the long life wooden ones have. Over a period of years, vinyl will crack and become brittle, especially when exposed to a lot of heat and sun. Generally, these shutters are fixed because they are not sturdy enough to open and close. They usually come in specific color choices, and painting is not recommended. Wooden shutters are constructed of western red cedar, southern yellow pine, California redwood, cypress or composite wood. These are by far the most versatile, being able to be painted or stained and custom designed. They do not sag and can be installed to open and close. If damaged, wood can be repaired, without replacing the entire shutter. Properly milled and dried, wood will not crack, split, or warp, making the shutter last almost indefinitely. The aesthetic appeal of wooden shutters on a home makes the dwelling look comfortable, inviting, and even elegant. Shutters that open and close provide extra insulation, thus reducing energy cost; and, they also reduce street noise. Shutters are a worthy investment for a homeowner, and long-lasting wooden shutters give the best value over vinyl.
