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.
Be careful when setting up ladders to install the shutters. Make sure that the ladder is on solid, flat, even ground. Carefully follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the safe use of ladders. If you think you need it, get help when installing shutters.
