Description

Product Overview

Ekena Millwork’s Lifetime Vinyl Board‑n‑Batten shutters combine classic architectural styling with modern vinyl durability. Each shutter measures 14 inches in width and 43 inches in height, delivering a proportionate, balanced look that fits a wide range of window sizes. Constructed from high‑density vinyl, the panels feature a molded‑through black finish that resists fading, cracking, and warping even under harsh sun, rain, and temperature fluctuations. The board‑and‑batten design mimics traditional wood grain, offering crisp lines and a timeless aesthetic without the maintenance demands of real wood. Included with every pair are Shutter‑Lok brackets and matching screws, engineered for a secure, tool‑free installation that aligns perfectly with the shutter’s pre‑drilled holes. The product is lightweight at just under five pounds, making handling and mounting straightforward for DIY enthusiasts and professional installers alike.

Usage

These shutters are ideal for residential exterior applications, including front‑door windows, bay windows, and patio doors. Their black finish complements both contemporary and traditional home exteriors, adding contrast against siding, brick, or stone. Homeowners often install them to improve curb appeal, increase property value, and provide an extra layer of protection against wind‑driven rain. Because the vinyl material is resistant to moisture, the shutters can be used in coastal or high‑humidity environments without risk of rot. The easy‑install hardware allows for quick upgrades during seasonal home improvement projects, and the design integrates seamlessly with existing window frames, eliminating the need for additional trim or paint work.

FAQ

Can these shutters be painted to match a different color?

Yes, the vinyl surface can be painted with a high‑quality exterior acrylic paint. Because the color is molded through, the paint adheres well and the underlying material remains protected. We recommend cleaning the surface and applying a primer designed for plastic before painting to achieve the best results.

What is the recommended spacing between shutters when installing on a single window?

The ideal gap between the two shutters of a pair is approximately 1/8 inch to allow for natural expansion and contraction due to temperature changes. The Shutter‑Lok brackets are pre‑drilled to accommodate this spacing, ensuring a uniform appearance while maintaining a secure fit.

Are these shutters suitable for high‑wind coastal areas?

Absolutely. The high‑density vinyl material is engineered to resist wind uplift, and the Shutter‑Lok hardware provides a reinforced attachment that helps keep the shutters in place during strong gusts. For extreme coastal conditions, we suggest using additional anchoring brackets, which are available as optional accessories.

How do I clean and maintain the shutters?

Cleaning is simple: use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water, then rinse with a garden hose. Avoid abrasive cleaners or pressure washers, as they can damage the surface. Because the color is molded through, there is no need for repainting or sealing, making maintenance virtually effortless.

What warranty does Ekena Millwork offer on these shutters?

Ekena Millwork provides a limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects for the vinyl material and hardware. This warranty covers issues such as cracking, warping, or hardware failure under normal use. For full warranty details, refer to the product documentation or contact our support team.
