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.
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 80% of homes here. A stain can be refreshed or painted over in years to come, which a factory-coloured vinyl shutter can't.
