Some customers will always insist on wood shutters, no matter what their circumstances.

But time and time again, customers will choose Thermalite over painted wood shutters 8 out of 10 times when they're presented with the features and benefits of each.

The truth is that, over time, wood shutters will naturally swell, shrink and crack. Sooner or later, wood louvers will lose tension and perform poorly. The lacquer based paint finishes on most wood shutters are prone to discoloration and to unhealthy toxicity.

Thermalite is a far superior shutter material: Longer lasting for the customer and more predictable for the fabricator to sell and install, and with higher customer satisfaction over time.

And finally, add to this the fact that wood shutters are both highly flammable, and susceptible to water damage.

So here's the difference: Thermalite Shutters will NEVER swell, peel, crack, warp or burn. As time passes, Thermalite joints do not crack, and the louvers don't lose tension. Thermalite Shutters will work perfectly year after year. And Thermalite's water-based painted finish ensures a lifelong true color with no harmful in-home toxic affects.
