• Installation: Each pair ships with color-matching hardware and Shutter-Lok fasteners, which enable a straightforward installation that most homeowners can complete in minutes.
• Appearance: A crisp woodgrain texture and through-color vinyl give the shutters an authentic look that holds color and hides minor surface wear.

Who It's For

These shutters are best for homeowners and contractors looking for an affordable, low-maintenance alternative to painted wood shutters that still provides a woodlike look.
