How Long Do Faux Wood Shutters Last? A Comprehensive Guide to Their Durability and Lifespan

There’s no denying the rise in popularity of window shutters. Providing all kinds of properties with a sophisticated look, they create the perfect balance of style and practicality.

If you’re considering shutters for your home, then there are many factors to consider. In the following guide, we are going to explore the benefits of faux wood shutters, their lifespan as well as their durability, helping you to make an informed decision about your next investment.

What are the benefits of faux wood shutters?

Faux wood shutters offer a host of benefits, including;

• Long lifespan- At Emerald, our high-quality shutters are made from a solid composite material that is reinforced with an aluminium core, making them extremely strong. They are built to last and come with a 10-year warranty as standard, making them a worthwhile investment for your home.
• Durability– Our bespoke range of shutters are highly durable as they will not warp, peel or flake over time. They are also completely waterproof which allows them to be used in any room in the house including wet rooms/ bathrooms.
• Better noise reduction– Our shutters offer great noise insulation as they help to block out any external noise, making them an ideal choice for homes near busy roads.
• Improved insulation– Our faux wooden shutters offer fantastic heat insulation. Not only do they help to keep cold air from entering during winter, but they also help to keep rooms cool in the summer. Paired with our high-performing double and triple-glazed units, improved energy efficiency is a given when you buy window shutters from Emerald.
• Controls light– One of the best things about window shutters is that you have full control over the amount of light entering your home. This also helps to prevent your furniture from fading from exposure to UV.
• Enhanced privacy and security-. Unlike blinds or curtains, shutters are the only solution available on the market that allows you to control your privacy which makes them appealing for homes which are overlooked. Our window shutters also offer enhanced security, as outsiders’ views are restricted as well as adding an extra obstacle to face in order to enter.

Transform your home with Emerald’s range of bespoke window shutters

At Emerald, we provide quality bespoke shutters to homeowners across the South West of England.  Our faux wood shutters are available in several different styles including café style, tier on tier, full height and tracked.

Our Café style shutters are panels designed to cover only the lower section of the window. This style offers great privacy, and an influx of natural light to enter through the exposed glass.

Our Tier on Tier shutters are two sets of panels that sit on top of each other and are designed for complete control over light, privacy and view. They offer versatility as the top and bottom operate independently of each other.

Our Full Height shutters are one of the most popular styles of shutters that we sell at Emerald. These are designed to cover the full window height, with the option of 1/3 or half to operate independently of the rest. This style allows privacy and light to be fully controlled.

Our Tracked shutters slide open and back for easy access, and are particularly used for patio doors.

At Emerald, we provide shutters that can be customised to any RAL colour. Additionally, we offer two distinct colour ranges: the De Montfort range, featuring a standard Snow White shade, and the Eleanor Range, which includes beautiful Almonry, Abbey, and Swan shades.
