Hunter Douglas Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters near Grand Rapids, Michigan (MI)

Wood shutters are the most commonly known type of shutter. But when you want to enjoy the warm and cozy appeal of interior shutters without worrying about durability or upkeep, alternative wood shutters are a perfect choice for homes that see moisture and humidity or that experience a little more activity.

Alternative shutters are slightly different from traditional wood shutters, often built from a unique combination of materials that are more hardy while still providing the same great protection against more active and unpredictable conditions.

At The Shade Shop, we proudly carry an array of Hunter Douglas window treatments, including the fabulous Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl and NewStyle® Composite Shutters, both known for their robust quality that stands up against the elements without sacrificing on looks worthy of being the centerpiece to any room. Let’s take a deeper look at these shutters and why we love to recommend them.

Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters

These shutters are ideal for hot and humid climates, which makes them an excellent choice for Michigan homes, especially in kitchens and bathrooms that are routinely exposed to sudden bursts of moisture and heat. Our DuraLux™ Finish ensures your Polysatin™ shutters stand up to the test of time.

Featuring an appearance that always looks freshly painted with a beautiful matte sheen, and resistant to warping, chipping, yellowing, fading, and cracking, it’s not only the outside that’s built for strength. Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters feature interior aluminum bracing that keeps your shutter components tight so they’ll always open and close how you want them to.

Choose from luxurious finishes in bright white, white, and white silk for a minimalistic yet elegant appearance that’s easy to pair with your interior décor.

Palm Beach™ shutters uniquely feature PowerView® Automation. They’re one of the only motorized shutters on the market! Control your shutters from anywhere in your home with the touch of a button on your smartphone via the Pebble® remote, the PowerView® app, or with the sound of your voice thanks to Amazon Alexa, Apple Siri, and Google Assistant pairing. And you can always operate your shutters manually without fear of burning up the motor or breaking the shutter.

NewStyle® Hybrid Shutters

Genuine wood mixed with man-made materials intersects to bring you these fantastic shutters that feature a polypropylene coating designed to last for years. The Hunter Douglas Finetech® low-luster finish works to imitate the natural tone and subtlety of natural wood shutters, so you can enjoy that classic look with peace of mind knowing your shutters can handle your busy home. Their UltraGrain™ finish replicates the feel of classic plantation shutters with realistic textures of wood grain. These alternative shutters are built with expert craftsmanship inside and out with the same Truemill® dovetail construction as our hardwood option. That ensures your shutter components will always hold up. You’ll never have to worry about slumping louvers which can occur with traditional shutters that use glue rather than interlocking components.
