Weatherproofing

Painted shutters hold up to the weather better, thus making the paint option a strong candidate for the exterior of your house.

Painting

Painting new shutters requires at least two coats of paint, since you will need a primer-sealer coat as well as a top coat.

Stained

Stained shutters allow the wood's grain to shine through. Considering the cost of making the shutter, you may want to see the natural beauty of the grain.

Exterior Stain

The quality and weatherproofing durability of exterior stains has improved in recent years, making this choice a viable selection for exterior use.

Painting Over

Stained shutters can be easily covered with paint, but a painted shutter needs to be thoroughly stripped before it can be stained.

Solid Color

Painted shutters produce a strong, solid color. This may be important in the overall color scheme of your house or business.

Most recently people with houses that have more modern designs have opted for painted wood shutters to amalgamate in to the contemporary home interior. This is supported by the idea that lighter shades of shutters lighten up a room not only during the day when the natural light from the sun passes through but at night making the room look more lit than it really is.

On the contrary, people who prefer to highlight the natural radiance of wood go for the darker shades so they opt for wooden shutters that are stained. Walnut or pecan stained wood shutters are decorated by the room light emphasizing its classic natural beauty. Such types of shutters are best for TV or entertainment rooms.

Whichever shade of shutters you choose to mount they will really make a difference in your home design.
