Realistic Vinyl Shutters


I usually don't deal with shutters, but the client wants to replace the aged wood shutters with something that looks real (louvered). The color is a med/dk blue...how have the louvered shutters you have installed held up?

Re: Realistic Vinyl Shutters


Blue vinyl shutters have had a tendancy to go green in my experience. You may be able to find a paintable vinyl shutter that should hold up better against fade.
