DIFFICULTY RATING: (2 out of 5 - Easy)

Shutters add a rich detail and character to your home while protecting your windows from damaging winds and rain.
Step 2: Purchase the new shutters.
There are many types of shutters you can install, from inexpensive, molded plastic panels to custom-built, historical reproduction wooden shutters that are very beautiful but also can be expensive. The J & L Shutters chosen for this installation are historically correct and fully functional, but they are made of modern Permex™, a synthetic material that combines the architectural advantages of wood shutters with the weathering advantages of Permex™. Permex™ shutters will not rot and have a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects as well as a 10-year guarantee against paint defects.
These Permex shutters are historically accurate and durable.
