Knowing the Difference between PolyCore Shutters and all other types of Plantation Shutters

PolyCore custom plantation shutters are different than any other synthetic shutter.  Aluminum reinforcing is co-extruded with the shutter components (see pictures).  This provides for a very strong, rigid, durable shutter that will not bow, warp, peel, crack, or need repainting.  Further, unlike other poly shutters that are only glued together, PolyCore’s aluminum reinforcing allows for them to BOLTED together.  PolyCore is highly resistant to the environment and are a great choice for areas that will get wet such as showers.  Their durability makes them a great choice for shutters over sliding glass doors.

One other quality item to note is the finish.  PolyCore custom plantation shutters have a baked-on waterborne finish.  The shutter materials are actually painted before they are built into a shutter.  This means that the painting process can be highly controlled.  All materials are laid flat and painted in a computerized, state-of-the-art painting and fabrication facility.  This allows for a very even, smooth coat of paint.

Why PolyCore Shutters are better than PolyWood Shutters™

• PolyCore’s aluminum core makes wider louver lengths possible, making the option of wider panels available for a cleaner and less obscured view out of the window.  Many PolyWood ™ shutters are limited to around 28 inches wide.  However, PolyCore plantation shutters can have panel widths up to 36 inches wide!
• PolyCore has a harder material surface, reducing the likelihood of dings and dents.
• PolyCore has stronger joints at the stile and rail.  PolyCore is bolted/screwed together verses glued.  The screw together format is the strongest possible format for assembling shutter panels, also allowing for simple unscrew to replace a louver if it becomes damaged.
• No hole strip that can slide up or down in the stile causing uneven gaps between louvers and rails.   PolyCore offers a co-extruded one part stile so no cracks are seen between the stile and the whole strip.
• Colors have been developed to match customers’ decor and are highly versatile.

PolyWood ™ shutters have a rubber flap between the stiles that require closing the shutter panels at the same time.  This rubber flap has been known to become stuck together over time due to heat.  PolyCore’s stile has a precise bevel that allows each panel to be opened and closed independently, yet still providing light control.

PolyCore Shutters are an investment that will be appraised into the value of your home. Like a fine piece of furniture, PolyCore Shutters are well crafted, elegant and durable. They are truly a lifetime product.
