Matching original woodwork
With 26% of homes this old, many still have stained trim and doors. Name the stain, or send a photo of the trim beside a window, and we match the shutters to it. Poplar's colour varies from board to board, so a stained shutter looks like natural wood rather than one flat colour.
Strong sun and stain
Years of direct sun change any finish, and stain shows it sooner than paint. On west and south windows here, a mid-tone stain ages more evenly than a very dark or very light one; on north-facing windows, any stain works.
