INSULATION AND ENERGY EFFICIENT: Wood shutters offer many insulation values such as excellent energy efficient, maintain interior temperature from exterior temperature extremes, and from noise. According to the library of congress, "it takes almost 6 inches of
brick, 14 inches of concrete, and over 1700 inches of aluminum to equal the insulating value of 1 inch of wood." ENVIRONMENTAL: As opposed to aluminum, plastic and other composites, wood is the only shutter material that is manufactured from a 100% renewal source. AUTHENTIC AND TRUE: All Finecraft shutters are made from 100% American Yellow Poplar and solid Red Oak hardwoods. Many products incorporate the word "wood" in their name, but almost all contain little or no wood at all. They are extremely limited in their custom capabilities, are only available in
standard white colors, cannot be stained, and have the look and feel of plastic. KILN DRIED LUMBER: American Yellow Poplar and Red Oak are North American hardwoods that resist warping, shrinking and reduce the chances of sagging in large panels. The uniform grain pattern provides
a smooth surface, which allows us to apply our exclusive finish. |
