Wood Shutters
The advantages of wood shutters are that they are more durable than vinyl shutters, they will take a paint easier, and various grains are available. In addition, wood shutters can be made to fit your windows exactly because they can be milled to the nearest 1/8" both vertically and horizontally, where plastic shutters are only available in certain widths.

Custom Shutters
Exterior shutters can be custom-made to fit your windows or you can buy sizes that are already prebuilt to save money. Custom shutters will fit "just right" on your windows, as they can be ordered in fractions of an inch instead of having to accept a standard shutter size that is a few inches too tall or a few inches too short.

Exterior Shutter Colors
Exterior vinyl shutters can be ordered in a variety of moulded-through colors or you can order a paintable color to match your custom trim. Shutter colors can vary by manufacturer, so shop around if you need an exact match.
