Shutters add extra-special appeal to windows. They really make them stand out and add value to your home. Window shutters come in a variety of materials. Following are three of the most popular and the pros and cons of each.
Vinyl (Plastic) Window Shutters: You’ll find these in most major home improvement stores. The reason vinyl shutters are so popular is because they’re lightweight, pre-finished, easy to install and easy on the wallet.
Pro: Vinyl window shutters are sturdy and require practically no maintenance, which make them ideal for almost any climate.
Con: Because the shutters have a gap of space behind them when installed, they attract wasp and other insect nests (eg, bees, spiders). So be careful if you ever go out to clean them, for as soon as the water hits, you might just find yourself running from a host of mad bees.
