Stained wood shutters in Mount Pleasant

Real wood grain under a stain of your choice, made to measure. What Mount Pleasant'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 Mount Pleasant

From May to September, Mount Pleasant's average highs reach 80°F or more, and about 55 days a year reach 90°F. That's more hot days than 59% of the 881 US cities we have climate figures for.

1% of homes date from before 1950, 51% from 2000 or later, and owners live in 74% of them.

Charleston, 6 miles away, has 25 days a year at 90°F or more, fewer than Mount Pleasant's 55.

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.
