Learn How To Select A Durable Shutter In Dover
Recently, a previous client reached out to one of our stores in Texas. The customer had their house wiped out by a tornado earlier this year, but the home’s Sunburst Polywood® plantation shutters made it through the ordeal.
Hopefully, your shutters won’t need to survive a twister. But there are a number of qualities to make sure of when looking for shutters in Dover that are durable and will add charm to your home for generations.
*Disclaimer: Sunburst Shutters doesn’t guarantee that their our products will withstand a tornado or other natural disasters, but this is just one instance of the durability and resilience of our Polywood shutters. Read our lifetime warranty.
Solid Material
The number one thing to be sure of when you need a long-lasting window treatment is the material it’s built from and the way in which it’s constructed. For wood shutters, look for those built from wood that is known for being strong and resistant to warping. Our Ovation® shutters feature furniture grade basswood and teak, which both meet these criteria.
For engineered shutters, focus on a product built from a solid polymer such as our Polywood® shutters. Polywood shutters are sturdier than composite shutters, which have an interior wrapped with poly-vinyl which is more susceptible to chips and scratches. The material Polywood shutters are composed of is also resistant to fire, moisture, and termites.
Superior Construction
A shutter’s build plays a large part in its durability. The slats of Polywood shutters keep their perfect amount of “give” by using tension control pins. They also have epoxy-coated stainless steel staples which are nearly impossible to take out. Polywood’s core is solid, and its joints are reinforced and glued , resulting in spectacular toughness. Our Ovation shutters are the only five star wood shutter in the world and utilize two different types of joints: mortise-and-tenon and dowel, which allows for extra stability. Sunburst is the only company that can give you shutters constructed with extreme durability in mind.
Sunburst Shutters also takes the utmost care in the measuring, creation, and installation processes to make sure you get elegant custom shutters that fit your windows without a hitch.
Color Which Lasts
It’s normal to want shutters that will be just as beautiful long after the initial purchase. Other composite shutters are prone to fading or yellowing over time. Sunburst’s Polywood shutters won’t ever suffer from discoloration, due to a protective seal that blocks ultraviolet light that causes fading. Both our Polywood and Ovation shutters are simple to keep clean by effortlessly wiping with a cloth.
Warranty
Warranties are one more important detail when purchasing shutters or other window coverings. When selecting a premier shutter, you need a warranty to guarantee your investment. Our Polywood shutters are backed by a lifetime warranty against any imperfections that might occur in materials, workmanship, paint finish, or installation. Our Ovation shutters come with a warranty against any defects.
