Lifetime Vinyl Open Louver Shutters 14 1/2in x 67in Forest Green

In this review the Lifetime Vinyl Open Louver Standard Cathedral Top center mullion shutters are evaluated for homeowners who want a low-maintenance, wood-look exterior option. The bottom line: these forest green vinyl shutters deliver the appearance of painted wood with the durability of 100% vinyl, and the included color-matching hardware makes installation straightforward. For DIYers fitting standard window openings, the pair sized at 14 1/2in by 67in is an attractive, lightweight choice that resists water damage, warping and peeling while providing a convincing woodgrain finish.

Key Features

• Material: 100% vinyl construction provides weather resistance and eliminates the need for sealing or frequent repainting.
• Design: Standard cathedral top with center mullion and open louvers offers a traditional shutter look that complements many home styles.
• Dimensions: Sized at 14-1/2 in width by 67 in height and 1 in depth to fit common window openings with nominal tolerances of +/- 1/2 in.
• Finish: Through-color forest green with a crisp woodgrain texture for a realistic painted-wood appearance that stays consistent if scratched.
• Hardware included: Ships as a pair with Installation Shutter-Lok's and matching screws so most installations are completed in minutes.
• Low upkeep: Lightweight and easy to clean, immune to peeling and rotting compared with traditional wood shutters.

Who It's For

This pair is aimed at homeowners or contractors seeking a maintenance-free exterior shutter that mimics painted wood without the ongoing upkeep. It is well suited to anyone looking for an easy-install option that includes color-matching hardware and works well for typical rectangular windows that pair with cathedral top styling.

Those who need heavy, load-bearing shutters or expect solid-wood heft should look elsewhere, since vinyl emphasizes weather resistance and light weight over solid timber rigidity. Also, customers installing highly custom or irregular openings may prefer a made-to-measure wood solution.
