Why Would You Want
Faux Wood Shutters?
There is a huge difference of opinion between
wood shutters
,faux wood shutters, and composite shutters. The confusion lies in the definition of "composite". Everyone has an opinion, and everyone has a similar term that is "better, stronger, more durable"; yada, yada, yada! Bottom line is this: Faux wood, composite, poly wood, man-made wood, or whatever else you want to call it to make it "uniquely-your-brand"; it is all engineered wood! Wikipedia explains it best: "It includes a range of derivative wood products which are manufactured by binding together the strands, particles, fibers, or veneers of wood; together with adhesives, to form composite materials.
Usually, engineered wood products are made from the same hardwoods and softwoods used for engineered wood composed of wood particles of fibers, but some manufacturers produce similar products from rye straw, wheat straw, rice straw, hemp stalks, or even vegetable fibers like sugar cane residue. The types of adhesives used in engineered wood varies as much as the product fiber used to make the faux wood shutters or composite shutters. Many are heat and water resistant and others are not; many contain formaldehyde and some do not; some use very expensive resins, some do not.
Pictured here is fine window furniture manufactured with many unique features that make the most lasting and beautiful composite shutters crafted today. Yes, you CAN have a shutter on your bathtub window! Norman Faux wood Shutters make it possible.
These
Woodlore composite shutters
by Norman have many beautiful features on this bathroom window like the
rear tilt bar
for better light, view, and cleaning purposes. Or they can be folded back to expose the lake view out this large window.
This style of versatility opens only the top half of the louvers to flood the bathroom with light; or perhaps another choice would be to make them
double hung shutters
so the top half of panels will open completely to view the full moon from a bubble bath while maintaining complete privacy with the bottom half with louvers closed tightly.
It's important to invest wisely when purchasing faux wood shutters. Some are so strong they are faced with fiberglass mesh and used structurally like for I-joists! Now that's strong! Bottom line, there are many advantages to composite shutters over
wood shutters.
Here are a few advantages:
1. Because it is man-made, it can be designed to meet rigid specifications requirements that wood cannot.
2. Large things can be engineered from very small trees.
3. Wood has many defects and weak spots because of the natural process of worm holes, knots, etc.
4. Composite is stronger and less prone to humidity and moisture warping than wood.
5. Many composites are denser and insulate far better than wood.
6. Composites if manufactured properly can avoid drying out and shrinking like wood sometimes does in dry climates.
