    Q:Maintenance-wise, is the pvc formed in the desired color rather than just painted by the company afterwards?

    Answer This Question

    A:  Thank you for your interest in this product and your question! Our True Fit PVC shutters have an applied finish; the color is not formed in the PVC itself. We use a high quality exterior grade Behr paint to finish our shutters, so they are still a low maintenance product that would not require annual refinishing. Best of luck on your project!

      Q:Will color fade over time?
      by|Apr 20, 2023
      1 Answer
      Answer This Question

      A:  Ekena Millwork PVC shutters are made from a high-quality material that is designed to withstand the elements and resist fading. PVC is a durable, low-maintenance material that is often used for outdoor applications because it does not rot, warp, or crack like wood. That being said, over time, all materials will eventually show some signs of wear and tear from exposure to the sun, wind, rain, and other environmental factors. However, PVC is known to be highly resistant to fading, and the shutters are also coated with a UV-resistant paint finish that helps to protect the color from fading over time. Overall, you should expect the shutters to maintain their color and appearance for many years with proper care and maintenance. It is recommended to clean them periodically with soap and water to remove dirt and debris and to avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the paint finish. Good luck on your project!

        Q:If you are getting the shutters in a color like black, do they need priming?
        by|Oct 22, 2022

        Answer This Question

        A:  Thank you for your interest in our product. The colored options, such as black, do come fully painted and ready for installation, so you would not need to do any additional priming or finishing on site. If you are planning on painting the shutters a specific color, we would recommend the unfinished option which would need to be primed, or the primed option which can be painted on site. Good luck on your project!

            Q:Can I use hinges to hang these shutters?
            by|Feb 22, 2022
            1 Answer
            Answer This Question

            A:  Thank you for your interest in our products! Our PVC shutters are completely solid and not hollow on the back. That said, they are designed for fixed mount installations primarily. You can physically hang them with hinges, but we would instead recommend using our fixed mount hardware. You can find this on HomeDepot.com by searching for model number, SHUTTER-BRACKETS_15. This hardware would include brackets, screws, and anchors to mount one pair of 15" wide shutters. Depending on the width of the shutters you order, you can change the model number to match your shutter width. Best of luck on your project!
