Custom Shutters in Chattanooga: Materials and Options
Choosing custom shutters in Chattanooga starts with the material, because hardwood, composite, and vinyl each handle sun, moisture, and daily use differently. The team at Sun Catchers can help you choose the right material, take custom measurements, and provide expert installation. We created this guide to help Chattanooga homeowners compare the three Hunter Douglas interior shutter lines to determine which style best suits their home and lifestyle.
Read on for a close look at each shutter, including louver sizes, color choices, and the windows each one suits.
Hardwood Shutters for Natural Warmth
Hunter Douglas Heritance® Wood Shutters are crafted from 100% natural hardwood harvested from responsibly managed forests. Natural hardwood shutters add warmth and texture to living areas, bedrooms, and dining rooms. Hunter Douglas also donates to the Arbor Day® Foundation with every purchase to support forest preservation. Truemill® dovetail construction reflects superior craftsmanship, and the Integra™ Finish adds lasting beauty.
For these custom window shutters, choose:
- Colors: More than 20 choices, plus custom paints and stains
- Louver widths: 2½-inch, 3½-inch, or 4½-inch louvers
- Operation: Optional One-Touch Closure with SoftClose™ Louvers
Composite Shutters for Everyday Durability
Hunter Douglas NewStyle® Composite Shutters, also known as composite plantation shutters or hybrid shutters, pair the look of real wood with the strength of composite materials. A low-luster Finetech® finish gives them the look of finely painted wood, and Hunter Douglas also builds them with Truemill® dovetail construction. The line is built for wear-resistant, trouble-free performance, and the added moisture resistance makes these interior shutters a good fit for humid rooms like kitchens.
Customize your shutters by choosing:
- Colors: Eight choices
- Louver widths: 2½-inch, 3½-inch, or 4½-inch louvers
- Operation: Optional One-Touch Closure with SoftClose™ Louvers that close gently once they reach a set angle
Vinyl Custom Window Shutters for Sun and Humidity
Hunter Douglas points to Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters as its most durable shutter. Interior aluminum bracing and resin blocks add strength, and the UV- and water-resistant Polysatin™ compound helps the shutters stand up to intense sunlight and moisture. The Palm Beach Promise™ guarantees against warping, cracking, fading, chipping, peeling, and discoloring. Vinyl suits windows exposed to direct sunlight, heat, and humidity.
For these custom window shutters, choose:
- Colors: Three choices
- Louver widths: 2½-inch, 3½-inch, or 4½-inch louvers
- Operation: Motorization with PowerView® Automation
Matching Shutters to Your Rooms
Each material suits different spaces:
- Hardwood: Rooms where you want the look and warmth of real wood
- Composite: Busy households and rooms where easy cleanup is important, such as kitchens and kids' rooms
- Vinyl: Sun-exposed windows, bathrooms, and other humid spaces
Hunter Douglas offers shutters for specialty windows such as arches, patio doors, and French doors. Shutters for sliding glass doors mount on a track, either bi-fold or bypass, so the panels fold or slide clear of the opening.
