A Guide to PVC Shutters

Here at California Shutters, we’re passionate about bringing you the latest and greatest in shutter design. But you’d be forgiven for not knowing everything there is to know about shutters, least of all PVC shutters. Luckily, we’re here to help you out on all things polyvinyl window shutters.

 

There are plenty of reasons to choose PVC shutters. For starters, they're waterproof, easy to clean, last for years to come, and of course, oh so stylish. 

 

Like the sound of that? Read on to find out why PVC shutters are so popular with our customers.

PVC shutters are made from polyvinyl chloride, but we thought that wasn't the most "roll of the tongue" name for our shutters. Basically, it's a type of plastic material that's well-known for being super versatile and very durable.

 

Our plastic window shutters, or as we like to call them, Faux Wood Shutters, are an affordable and stylish alternative to traditional wooden shutters. Not only do they mimic the classic look of wood, but they also offer some unique benefits of their own.

To cut a long story short, here are the benefits of PVC shutters:

 

1. Durability and longevity
   Our PVC window shutters are tough and durable. They can withstand high humidity and temperature changes without warping or cracking. This makes them a lasting investment for your home.
2. Low maintenance
   Forget about time-consuming upkeep. Plastic shutters are easy to clean and maintain, requiring just a simple wipe-down every now and again to keep them looking their best.
3. 100% waterproof
   PVC plantation shutters are completely water-resistant, making them ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, and other areas prone to damp and moisture.
4. UK-made
   When you buy either of our Faux Wood ranges (San Jose and San Francisco), you’re supporting your local economy. All our plastic shutters are made right here in the UK
5. Express delivery
   Because we manufacture in the UK, we can ship your PVC interior window shutters to you in record time. Wave goodbye to long lead times.
6. Stylish versatility
   Whether your home décor is contemporary or classic, our faux wood shutters will blend in seamlessly, adding a touch of sophistication to proceedings.

The truth is, because they have the same look and feel as wooden shutters, faux wood PVC shutters will per perfectly with virtually any décor style in any room.

 

That being said, they're particularly suited to rooms that experience plenty of moisture. We're talking about kitchens, bathrooms, wet rooms, or even saunas. 

We've got a wide range elegant PVC shutter collections for you to choose from. Firstly, let's talk about the classics: San Francisco shutters and San Jose shutters.

 

San Francisco, with their clean lines feature a hidden pushrod, making them ideal for contemporary spaces. San Jose shutters feature a classic central pushrod, so they’ll look right at home in period properties or rustic-inspired spaces.

 

Both collections are available in full height, tier on tier, or café style, with a choice of two gorgeous white shutter colour options.

 

Then you've got our LA Urban full height shutters. Their unique, modern design is inspired by industrial décor styles, making them the perfect choice modern homes.
