Size of window will determine which material is best. Both wood/vinyl shutters work well but smaller shutters allow for a wider array of options. Larger shutters will warp or sag if you don’t choose the right material.

The NYC Climate will cause wood shutters to start to rot which is why we recommend vinyl shutters to cut down on maintenance.

Wood Shutters are still an extremely common type of exterior shutters but are gradually being replaced by more durable and increasingly realistic-looking vinyl shutters. Still, solid wood exterior shutters do fit the style of homes and apartments with natural wood siding and historic value. New brands and materials of vinyl shutters are getting better and better at blending in with modern homes.

Vinyl Shutters are typically looked at as less authentic and less expensive. However, when you go through your free consultation with NY City Blinds you’ll see that with the amazing selection of brands, types, and colors we have there’s no need to compromise on both price and style.

NY City Blinds offers only the best in quality Vinyl shutters. Choose between popular brands, American-made and time-tested materials. Our custom vinyl shutters are designed to look appealing and stand the test of time.

The difference between NY City Blinds and big box brands like Home Depot Vinyl Shutters/Lowes Exterior Shutters is the degree to which they are able to replicate wood and the durability of the material. And you’ll encounter other problems when you don’t have a trusted professional there to help you choose the right shutters for your home. Lower quality brands break down more quickly and are immediately discernable from the high-quality exterior vinyl shutters we install. A common worst-case scenario we see is homeowners needing a complete reinstall because of faulty house shutters because of choosing the wrong brand and material for a given space.
