PVC shutters: functional and aesthetically beautiful!
Until a few years ago the shutters were mainly made of wood as this material allowed to give aesthetics but also comfort from a thermal and acoustic point of view. Initially other solutions were considered, such as PVC shutters, exclusively for some low-budget projects as if on the one hand the PVC shutters were still functional, on the other they presented a huge deficit in terms of aesthetics. . In recent years, this gap has been enormously reduced up to today’s solutions that have excellent results both from a technical point of view and as regards aesthetics.
The different types of shutters on the market.
Currently on the market there are different types of shutters that differ not only for graphic design and functionality but also for the use of materials. Wooden shutters represent the most classic and traditional solution. They allow a remarkable aesthetic impact and ensure excellent acoustic insulation. At the same time, there is no shortage of inconveniences as wooden shutters require a lot of maintenance as they are sensitive to the harmful action of bad weather. However, if properly cared for, wooden shutters can last for decades.
Aluminum shutters are equally durable but much more resistant than bad weather. They can hardly be deformed and require less expensive maintenance than the wooden solution. However, it should be emphasized that the aesthetic result is undoubtedly lower even if in recent years the introduction of armored aluminum shutters on the market has been encountering some success, which allow greater feedback in terms of safety. PVC shutters have improved considerably, getting very close to the aesthetic performance of wood without however presenting those problems related to maintenance. Let’s find out more in detail.
