Architectural Collection
The Architectural Collection is based on over fifteen years of composite shutter experience. Our goal is to provide the most beautiful and best performing shutters. In order to reach this goal we developed and continue to refine the process of bringing together the best technology from the aerospace, marine and automotive industries to make these shutters. The materials we use may cost a little more, but we are not about cost cutting. Our guarantee to you is that all Architectural Collection Shutters will withstand the effects of time.
Material: Our shutters use premium materials and are intended to be substantial in weight in order to provide a strong and beautiful shutter that maintains a lifetime of structural integrity.
- Stiles and Louvers - Using marine grade fiberglass that is impervious to the elements, our patented design offers the strongest and most durable frame available on any composite shutter today. This is the same fiberglass material used on luxury yachts and racing boats.
- Panels – Made from a proprietary composite wood material that is moisture, rot and termite resistant. This material is manufactured via a patented steam injection technology process that uses 90% wood with phenolic resins, zince borate and other ingredients.
- Rails – Uses Structural grade PVC which allows for customization of rail sizes.
Assembly
Each shutter is hand assembled and individually built on-site in our facility to your exacting specifications. We use specially formulated urethane adhesives that allow for a clean and smooth finish without nail, screw or rivet marks. These adhesives are the same used to hold fiberglass shells on automotive frames.
Finish: We use a specially formulated industrial two part acrylic urethane finish that chemically bonds to the shutter material. Every shutter receives a finishing process that includes two finish coats and a proprietary oven curing process to further strengthen and enhance the finish. By partnering with the world leader in finishes, we have the ability to match any color with a 100% color match guarantee.
Warranty: Limited lifetime structural component warranty against, cracking, splitting, rotting and excessive warping. Fifteen-year factory paint finish warranty against peeling or flaking. Warranty Information
