As a Raleigh homeowner, you have a lot of choices to make and that includes making some decisions about your window treatments. Shutters are among the most popular options for window coverings but you still have to know more about the selections available, such as Polycore shutters.

This is one reason it is so critical to partner with the most reputable window blind company. The job is not just about installing window treatments, it is about first-rate, personalized service that helps you better understand the industry.

Learn About the Benefits

What are Polycore shutters and why are they so great? Polycore is the world’s only solid synthetic shutter with a co-extruded aluminum core.

  • These shutters have baked on waterborne paint which makes them both resistant to moisture and fire retardant. In other words, you still get the look of a quality wood shutter but with heightened durability. Your investment is likely to last longer or at least require less care along the way. No matter how well real wood is chemically treated, it cannot hold up over the time the way that Polycore can.
  • These shutters are easier to install than real wood. You may be thinking, “Well, why does that matter? I won’t be installing them.” While that is true, it means it takes less time and effort for our pros to install them which costs you less. Plus, having a more light-weight window treatment in place means that you don’t have to worry about it pulling away from the wall, over time.

  • There are some places this synthetic alternative to wood can go that real wood cannot. Real wood shutters do not do well in damp or humid conditions, such as the bathroom or even some kitchens. So even if you have real wood shutters you have to use an alternate material in these rooms, or run the risk of rotting them and rather quickly.

How to Decide

At Shutters and Blinds By Design, we believe in being the window blind company that offers advice so give us a try. We don’t want to just talk you into service or take care of just the installation.

We want you to make choices that you can live with and love, for years to come. Real wood is a good investment if you are looking to beautify your home and increase the value but Polycore is what you get when you want something built to last.
