Do aluminum shutters have a wood grain finish?

Aluminum shutters are available in a smooth or textured powder coat finish.

How are aluminum shutters assembled?

The aluminum shutters are cut to size and then fastened at key points. The rails are then overlapping to create a seamless appearance and enhanced strength. Powder coating is then applied to the shutters to make them scratch and weather resistant. In addition to looking great, our aluminum shutters are also storm rated to protect you from storms.
