Faux Wood Shutters | What To Know Before You Buy
Faux Wood Shutter Features
The timeless style of interior shutters is simply unmatched, and these window treatments also help improve the value of your home. However, not all shutters work well in every room of the house or every budget. Thankfully, you can get the real wood appearance at a reduced cost with faux wood shutters. Made of composite material, these shutters are a bit more on the budget-friendly side for those who want shutters but don’t want to go all-in on real wood. Additionally, unlike real wood, these shutters are better suited for areas with high moisture such as a bathroom or kitchen, especially above the sink.
Faux wood shutters are excellent insulators as well as noise reducers. Control both light and noise entering or exiting your home while also reducing your energy bills. These interior shutters also can be available with a motorized option for convenient, hands-free operation.
