Stained wood shutters in Sandy Springs

Real wood grain under a stain of your choice, made to measure. What Sandy Springs's sun and homes mean for stain, and how it compares with paint and wood-look vinyl.
Level 1 (flat) moulding, paint stage 1, 3½-inch louvers, tilting open and closed.

Sun and homes in Sandy Springs

From May to September, Sandy Springs's average highs reach 80°F or more, and about 53 days a year reach 90°F. That's more hot days than 57% of the 881 US cities we have climate figures for.

2% of homes date from before 1950, 32% from 2000 or later, and owners live in 50% of them.

Dunwoody, 3 miles away, has much the same number of days a year at 90°F or more (53).

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.
