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.
