Bathroom Moisture Solutions

If you have windows close to a bathtub, shower or sink, or even in your laundry room, you will want to consider Faux Wood Shutters. Faux wood looks so much like the real thing that most people are now putting this product in their brand new upscale homes. Why not real wood, you might ask? I think it’s partly because of the price, but also because the Faux Woods don’t peel, crack, warp or chip with moisture and sun exposure. 

So when is it better to get the real thing? Hardwood shutters with a stain cannot be compared to the Faux Wood stained look. It will be evident that you aren’t using a real wood with a real stain if you try to go faux. So please please don’t try to shortcut when it comes to stained wood. Real wood stains will be much more rich, picking up the grains and giving a true-to-name color of stain.

The photo with this particular client asked for a Bi-fold Shutter for her bathroom so she could have a clean view when opened all the way. It was a challenge to fit it with the faucets on the ledge of the window, but I made a cardboard replica with the exact measurements and tried it out first just to make sure. I’ll go the extra mile to make sure your window treatments are done with excellence!

And speaking of, my Faux Wood Shutters have an aluminum bar in the center of all the framework and the louvres to give more stability. This keeps us from having to add a divider rail on larger Shutters, where other vendors will require it. A divider rail is usually centered and makes a shutter have a split tilt. If you like a split tilt, then you won’t mind a divider rail, but at least you get a choice.

Faux Wood or Hardwood Shutters: a classic view from the street and they’ll never go out of style!
