Faux Shutters, Perfect For Tuscaloosa
It wasn’t long ago that shutters were not as durable as they are today. In Tuscaloosa, faux shutters are a great option due to their resistance to moisture. While styles like the Plantation Shutters have been around a long time, there weren’t any types of faux wood shutters that would stand up to the elements.
Many were made of flimsy, weak materials like vinyl. Today’s composite materials offer customers quality faux shutters made with solid construction.
Faux shutters of today are also very easy to care for, with regular dusting and an occasional wipe from a damp cloth being all that’s needed. Whether hardwoods or composites, today’s shutters last.
You can count on the fact that all faux wood shutters from ShutterLuxe come from quality manufacturers who use the latest, state of the art technologies to join together real wood pulp with other materials. We are a premier Tuscaloosa Window Treatments company who serves many communities in Alabama.
