A classic white California style shutter will freshen up a dull looking space. Most vinyl shutters are finished in white, making it an easy choice for those who are not interested in the fuss of having to select fabric colours and prints.

The latest matte finishes achieve the appearance of a premium painted shutter and do not have that “plastic” look that you may be thinking of. Vinyl shutters are very functional, the louvers can be tilted in both directions to direct sunlight down toward the floor or up toward the ceiling. This works perfect to maintain privacy and still allow light into the room. The divider rail or tilt split option will give you even further control so that you can operate the top section of louvers separate from the bottom. Cleanability on a vinyl shutter is exceptional. They are mould and mildew resistant so bathrooms and kitchen windows above the sink are ideal locations. They are fully washable so any spills, stains, or
grease can easily be wiped off with a damp cloth and some mild dish soap. A special environmentally safe vinyl cleaner can be purchased for a real deep clean. With some exceptionally low maintenance, a vinyl shutter will look like new even after 15 or 20 years of use.

California vinyl shutters have a fantastic energy efficiency rating. They are designed with a cellular construction that has pockets of air in the louver and frame parts. This construction virtually eliminates
solar heat gain during the summer months and provides excellent insulation during winter months.  A
great way to save on your heating and cooling bills. Shutters come in 3 sizes 2 ½” California, 3 ½” Plantation, and 4 ½”. A framed or unframed application
can be selected depending on each window scenario. A shutter frame will help to give space to provide for full louver rotation and helps to square up crooked windows. Shutters are available in a traditional front side tilt bar design, rear hidden tilt, or a gear system for the cleanest look. No dangling cords means shutters are one of the safest products for children and pets. Most of the top brands also come with a GreenGuard certification which certifies the products and materials for low chemical emissions. Most top manufacturer have extensive warranties that cover the shutter for any deterioration, including warping, fading, yellowing, and cracking. California shutters are the bulkiest window treatment when compared to others. If you like the look, then this may be the only downside. The construction tends to block up more of the window. To get a full view, shutters must be swung open like a door, so space in front of the window is needed. Vinyl shutters are a straightforward and easy choice and truly add to the value of any home.
