When considering
plantation shutters in Dallas, homeowners have the choice of wood shutters or faux wood shutters. Yes, these plantation shutters are made of different materials. But that’s not the only thing that differentiates them. At Sunburst Shutters Dallas, we offer
Polywood®; (a faux wood plantation shutter) and
Ovation®; (a real wood shutter) to match your window treatment needs. We compare faux wood shutters side by side with wood shutters. From their materials to their ease of cleaning and more.
Materials
Polywood shutters are constructed from a synthetic composite that leads to increased energy efficiency and durability. We created this faux wood shutter over 25 years ago to bring you a high quality plantation shutter that competes with any wood shutter. Our Ovation wood shutters are made from solid teak. This furniture-grade wood shutter adds the natural feel of wood to any room in your Dallas home.
Energy Efficiency
Shutters are more energy efficient than any other window treatment you can buy in Dallas. And if plantation shutters are what you’re looking for, our faux wood shutters insulate 70% better than equivalent wood shutters. But that doesn’t mean our wood shutters aren’t exemplary when it comes to energy efficiency since the only window treatment that tops their efficiency are Polywood shutters.
Durability
Polywood shutters are built from a solid-engineered wood substitute that won’t chip. They outlast traditional wood shutters. They can last for more than 50 years with appropriate upkeep.
Our Ovation shutter is the only five star wood shutter in money can buy. And with both types of joints (mortise-and-tenon and dowel), these wood shutters are top quality in durability and will last decades in your Dallas residence.
Cleaning
You can dust both faux and wood shutters easily. However, if you encounter stains, dirt, and other marks, simply wipe faux and wood shutters with a rag that’s barely damp. You’ll want to quickly dry wood shutters.
Colors
Polywood shutters are available in three premium white paints in addition to a collection of custom paints that can be matched to the room’s color scheme. We apply a high quality paint that contains UV inhibitors so the color never fades. Ovation wood shutters look stunning when stained with one of our 28 wood stains.
Custom Built
Both faux wood shutters and wood shutters are custom fashioned to fit your window or door perfectly. Our professionals measure the window to construct shutter panels that are elegant and work without a hitch.
Special Shapes
Whether your Dallas home has circle windows or arched ones, we can custom build the plantation shutters you choose to fit just right. Our experts consider every curve and angle. And with our latest computer software and more than 40 years of experience, we construct your real wood and faux wood shutters to the exact measurements of your specialty shaped window.
