    A:  Thanks for reaching out. This shutter does not include shutter hardware, as it is used it many different applications (including surface mount and functional). For functional hardware, there are lots of options but a few popular ones are: NR481BL, NR484BL, and NR254. If the shutters are being used in a decorative, surface mount installation, we recommend brackets Model # SHUTTER-BRACKETS_15 (available in several sizes).

      Q:The description mentions that this is a functional shutter. I'm curious if it can be used as ornamental, and if so, are there mounting holes for the hinges that will be exposed? How do I know that the shutter I order won't have the hardware or mounts for the hinges. Thanks!

      A:  Thanks for reaching out. These shutters can be used for several installations, including surface mount (decorative only) and functional. There is no hardware included, for this reason, thus no pre-drilled holes. For functional hardware, there are a lot of options but a few popular ones are: NR481BL, NR484BL, and NR254. For either installation method, we recommend reviewing the instructions, here: https://images.homedepot-static.com/catalog/pdfImages/46/466b46f6-66e5-4b16-b757-39bd737d0abc.pdf

        Q:Do these let air through at all? We're looking to block the sun but still have a little bit of a breeze come through if possible.

        A:  Thanks for reaching out. These composite shutters are solid PVC, thus while they are authentic on the front, the louvers do not go all the way through. They install easily and hassle-free with either a surface mount application or using authentic hardware. Here are the installation instructions: https://images.homedepot-static.com/catalog/pdfImages/46/466b46f6-66e5-4b16-b757-39bd737d0abc.pdf

            A:  Yes! Paint the product with a good quality, vinyl safe 100% acrylic latex paint. If painting the product a dark color, colors that have an LVR rating of 54 or lower, use paints with heat reflective characteristics specifically formulated for use on vinyl or PVC products. For dark colors, consultation with your local store is highly recommended.

                    A:  Thanks for reaching out. We'd recommend ordering our "unfinished" option, if you'd like to paint the shutters. You can find those under Model # CWL15X060UNC. If you order the "unfinished" option - for best results, prime the product thoroughly to achieve a smooth, consistent, paint-ready surface. Once priming is finished, paint the product with a good quality, vinyl safe 100% acrylic latex paint. If painting the product a dark color, colors that have an LVR rating of 54 or lower, use paints with heat reflective characteristics specifically formulated for use on vinyl or PVC products.
