Using Faux Wood Shutters in Interior Decor

Genuine wood and faux wood material both have their place in home décor real wood accents add texture and warmth to a space, and faux wood offers the look of real wood but with more durability in mind. Any homeowner would be hard-pressed to find fault with either of these two options but if you live in an active home or have certain environmental needs, you just might be better off with faux wood decor as the best option for your home.

At Jamesburg Hardware & Appliance, we offer a gorgeous selection of hardwood and faux wood shutters from Hunter Douglas. Our team can help you decide on when and where it makes sense to consider faux wood shutters in your home.

Faux Wood Shutters 101

In the past, faux wood shutters looked exceptionally faux. That is, it was easy to see that they weren’t made from real wood. At Jamesburg Hardware & Appliance, our faux wood shutters are crafted with the same Truemill® dovetail construction as our 100% wood option. This means that they go under the same manufacturing process as fine furniture to closely mimic the rich texture and appearance of natural wood while offering added advantages. Unlike real wood, faux wood shutters are resistant to moisture, warping, and fading, making them ideal for active space or areas prone to humidity and moisture, such as kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms.

Our Selection of Faux Wood Interior Shutters

If you love the classic look of wood but need something that can stand up to daily wear and tear, these shutters deliver on durability without compromising on style.

  • NewStyle® Composite Shutters are made from a unique composite material that offers the look of finely painted or stained wood. Hunter Douglas creates these shutters using a proprietary Finetech® finish that mimics the low luster of finely painted wood surfaces.
  • Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters are another wood alternative shutter made from a unique Polysatin™ vinyl compound that is resistant to moisture and UV rays. This means that they won’t crack, warp, or fade over time. Plus, these shutters can be motorized with the PowerView® Automation system for convenient hands-free control.
