When it comes to
plantation shutters in New Brunswick, homeowners have the option of wood shutters or faux wood shutters. These plantation shutters are more different than you think. At Sunburst Shutters New Brunswick, we bring you
Polywood®; (a faux wood plantation shutter) and
Ovation®; (a real wood shutter) to meet your window treatment needs. We compare faux wood shutters side by side with wood shutters. From their energy efficiency to their materials and more.
Materials
Polywood shutters are built from a synthetic composite that results in superior energy efficiency and durability. We created this faux wood shutter over 25 years ago to give you a high quality plantation shutter to rival any wood shutter. Our Ovation wood shutters are constructed from solid teak. This furniture-grade wood shutter brings the natural feel of wood to any room in your New Brunswick home.
Energy Efficiency
Shutters are more energy efficient than any other window treatment you can buy in New Brunswick. And in the plantation shutters market, our faux wood shutters insulate 70% better than equivalent wood shutters. That’s not to say our wood shutters are inefficient . The only window treatment that tops their efficiency are Polywood shutters.
Durability
Polywood shutters are made from a solid-engineered wood substitute that won’t crack. They maintain their integrity longer than traditional wood shutters. They can last for 50+ with proper upkeep.
Our Ovation shutter is the only five star wood shutter in the US. And with both types of joints (mortise-and-tenon and dowel), these wood shutters are the best in their class for durability and will last decades in your New Brunswick house.
Cleaning
It’s easy to dust both faux and wood shutters. However, when it comes to stains, dirt, and other marks, just wipe faux and wood shutters with a rag that’s barely damp. Wipe off any remaining residue with a dry cloth – especially on wood shutters.
Colors
Polywood shutters come in three premium white paints as well as a selection of custom paints that can be matched to the room’s color style. UV inhibitors in the paint we apply on Polywood ensure that the color on these shutters doesn’t fade. Ovation wood shutters are best when stained with one of our 28 wood stains.
Custom Built
Both faux wood shutters and wood shutters are custom crafted to fit your window or door seamlessly. Our specialists measure the window to construct shutter panels that are elegant and work with ease.
