My in-laws house underwent some minor work to repair some old wooden shutters. 15 years of rain and shine took it’s toll on them. The shutters are barely usable and if not repaired, it might just break apart when you least expect it. Instead of replacing the wooden shutters with wooden ones again, they used vinyl shutters instead. Admittedly, I was somewhat skeptical when they said they’re using some sort of ‘fake’ wood material. Upon closer inspection, I have to say the material and finishing ain’t all that bad.
