Fall in Love with Cozy Wood Shutters
Wood shutters are considered one of the best window treatments you can add to your interiors because of their careful construction, durable and high-quality design, and elegant and cozy appearance no matter the season. But what if we were to tell you that you could get the look of wood shutters in a hybrid composite alternative as well?
At Blinds and Designs, we know that choosing your home decor is often about creating a balance between functionality and aesthetics. That's where Hunter Douglas, a pioneer in high-quality window treatments, steps in with two great shutter options for any room in the home—Heritance® Wood Shutters and NewStyle® Composite Shutters. Each of these two shutter options have unique features, advantages for specific spaces, and different ways they can enhance your living space. But which one should you choose?
Hunter Douglas Heritance® Wood Shutters
Combining high-quality craftsmanship with the best in modern innovation, Hunter Douglas Heritance® Wood Shutters are a combination of sophisticated design and natural materials.
The beauty of Heritance® Wood Shutters lies in their Truemill® dovetail construction—the same kind of manufacturing process as fine furnishings.
Crafted from genuine hardwood poplar or basswood—known for their durability—you can choose from stains that highlight the inherent characteristics and distinct color variations of natural wood or a variety of paint colors for a solid look.
These shutters come with different operation systems including a traditional tilt bar, bi-fold track, sliding shutter panels, or SoftClose™ Louvers with Quick Align™. No matter what you choose, these shutters add strong classic lines and a warm, welcoming feel to your rooms.
For those seeking a space with natural materials at the forefront of their design, these wood shutters from Hunter Douglas are a premium choice that will add value to your home for years.
Hunter Douglas NewStyle® Composite Shutters
On the other end of the spectrum, we have another favorite lasting window covering for those interested in the linear look of interior shutters, NewStyle® Composite Shutters— the perfect blend of durability and style. These shutters replicate the look and feel of genuine wood while offering the advantages of modern materials.
Unlike its real-wood counterparts, NewStyle® Composite Shutters are resistant to heat, humidity, and sunlight exposure, making them a great fit for places where people gather together. They come in a color range that will not fade, yellow, warp, or bow, making them a perfect long-term investment.
Made with the same Truemill® dovetail construction as our 100% hardwood shutters, you can rest assured in the lasting quality of these faux wood shutters—they are built to stand up to the wear and tear of a bust household with kids and pets. These shutters are also coated with the low-luster Finetech® finish—a microscopic coating that replicates the warmth and feel of solid wood, all while offering easy cleaning.
Which Hunter Douglas Shutter Suits Your Home The Best?
In both the Heritance® Wood Shutter and NewStyle® Composite Shutter collections, Hunter Douglas promises top-end quality, durability, and an unmistakably luxurious feel. Both collections boast a broad palette of options, allowing the design enthusiast to mix and match them with their preferred furniture and décor. Captivating, stylish, and practical, these shutters are, without doubt, excellent enhancements to any home.
