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.
Bought to stay
Owners live in 70% of homes here. A stain can be refreshed or painted over in years to come, which a factory-coloured vinyl shutter can't.
