Cold winters

A stain sinks into the wood instead of forming a layer on top, so a stained shutter moves with the seasons just as a painted one does. Keep winter humidity reasonable and both finishes stay sound.

Stain in newer homes

In newer homes with painted trim, a stained shutter becomes the one warm, wood-grain piece in the room. A dark stain on flat moulding reads modern; a lighter one on moulded frames, more traditional.

Bought to stay

Owners live in 79% of homes here. A stain can be refreshed or painted over in years to come, which a factory-coloured vinyl shutter can't.
