How Long Will Shutters Last on Orlando Homes?

Let’s talk shutter durability. The more durable your window treatments are, the less frequently you’re likely to change them. That’s why we produce long-lasting products of high quality that aren’t easily damaged by Orlando’s weather.

Plantation shutters are significantly more durable than blinds because there are no cords to wear out, no wands to snap off, and no mechanisms to break. A well-crafted shutter in Orlando that is properly maintained will last you 50 years or more. A well-built blind that is properly maintained will last 3 - 5 years before cords start to wear out and colors start to fade.

A low-quality, off-the-shelf blind will last only a few years before it utterly deteriorates. The cheaper materials and paint finishes used in blinds will wear down in the sun over time, becoming brittle and yellow. Fabric shades become worn with prolonged UV and UL exposure, and the fabric becomes brittle and yellow.

Shutters are unrivaled when it comes to the durability and longevity of window treatments. Actually, our Polywood® shutter is the only shutter with UV inhibitors in the material and the paint, protecting it from damaging sun rays. We bake on a proprietary paint finish at temperatures hotter than it might be in Orlando. That’s why Polywood lasts longer than any other shutter.

And that’s why, when it comes to durability, Polywood shutters are a sure bet. We’re so confident they’ll last you a lifetime, we back up our talk with a Lifetime warranty!
