- Do these shutters actually open and close?
- No. They are fixed-mount shutters that attach flat to the wall as decoration. If you want operable shutters, look for a hinged pair instead.
- Will PVC shutters hold up outdoors?
- Yes. PVC does not rot, absorb water or attract insects, which makes it a low-maintenance choice for humid and coastal areas. It still benefits from occasional cleaning.
- Can I paint them a different color?
- The shutters come in white and gray finishes. PVC accepts paint made for exterior plastics, so a color change is possible, but the factory finish is meant to be used as-is.
- How do I choose the right width for my window?
- Measure the window and decide how much shutter you want on each side. Shutter width is usually sized so the pair covers the window when closed, even though these are fixed.
- Are they heavy enough to stay put in wind?
- Fixed shutters are fastened directly to the wall, so the mounting, not the weight, keeps them in place. Use fasteners suited to your siding or masonry.
