The parts for our Custom Vinyl Shutters are a combination of injection-molded and extruded.  The shutters are made with a multi-piece assembly, using electrostatically welding and stapling.  This process allows us to provide the most extensive selection of sizes, colors, and configurations.  Our Premier One-Piece Vinyl Shutters are 100% injection-molded.

We offer a paintable version of all our products, all you need to do is request color #049 – Paintable.  Our color-through products are not able to be painted.  There are products on the market that claim to be able to paint plastic shutters, but we have not done any testing to verify their claims.

All Perfect Shutters Vinyl, Wood, and Composite Shutters can be custom painted.  We offer this process in-house for an additional fee.

Perfect Shutters Vinyl Products have a deep, true wood grain finish.

This is a subjective question. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. We have many customers that have used a different color for the trim accessories than for the panels. The nice part about our product is that our process allows for us to use as many or as little colors as you prefer.
