When considering
plantation shutters in Las Vegas, homeowners have the option of wood shutters or faux wood shutters. Yes, these plantation shutters are made of different materials. But that’s not the only thing that differentiates them. At Sunburst Shutters Las Vegas, we carry
Polywood®; (a faux wood plantation shutter) and
Ovation®; (a real wood shutter) to match your window treatment needs. We compare faux wood shutters side by side with wood shutters. From their energy efficiency to their materials and more.
Materials
Polywood shutters are crafted from a synthetic composite that provides increased energy efficiency and durability. We developed this faux wood shutter over 25 years ago to give you a high quality plantation shutter that competes with any wood shutter. Our Ovation wood shutters are made from solid teak. This furniture-grade wood shutter brings the natural feel of wood to any room in your Las Vegas home.
Energy Efficiency
Compared to other window treatments, shutters are the most energy efficient in Las Vegas. And when it comes to plantation shutters, our faux wood shutters deflect the external weather conditions 70% better than similar wood shutters. But that doesn’t mean our wood shutters aren’t exemplary when it comes to energy efficiency as the only window treatment that tops their efficiency are Polywood shutters.
Durability
Polywood shutters are made from a solid-engineered wood substitute that won’t crack. They last far longer than traditional wood shutters. They can last for 50+ with appropriate upkeep.
Our Ovation shutter is the only five star wood shutter in the nation. And with both types of joints (mortise-and-tenon and dowel), these wood shutters are the best in their class for durability and will last decades in your Las Vegas home.
Cleaning
It’s easy to dust both faux and wood shutters. However, when it comes to stains, dirt, and other marks, simply wipe faux and wood shutters with a lightly moistened rag. Make sure to quickly dry the wood shutters.
Colors
Polywood shutters are offered in three premium white paints in addition to a collection of custom paints that can be matched to the room’s color style. The color on these faux wood shutters never fades thanks to a high quality paint with UV inhibitors. Ovation wood shutters look stunning when stained with one of our 28 wood stains.
Custom Built
Both faux wood shutters and wood shutters are custom fashioned to fit your window or door seamlessly. Our specialists measure the window to design shutter panels that are elegant and operate with ease.
Special Shapes
Whether your Las Vegas home has triangle windows or arched ones, we can custom build your plantation shutter of choice to fit just right. Our professionals account for every curve and angle. And with our advanced computer software and over 40 years of experience, we fashion your real wood and faux wood shutters to the detailed specs of your specialty shaped window.
