Shutters
Shutters
Spectis shutters are factory primed polyurethane, sold as a pair. They will not rot if installed properly, and they are made to order.
What shutters are for
These shutters are sold as a pair and mount on the wall beside a window, not inside the glass opening. Each product number is the pair size, width by height, in inches.
How to measure
Measure the window trim, not the glass. A pair labeled 18 by 55 is 18 inches wide and 55 inches tall for each shutter. The two shutters together are wider than the window. Hold a tape on the wall and confirm both shutters clear the trim and any sill.
How it is made
These are high density polyurethane. Spectis cuts, nails, and glues like wood, and the same piece is used inside and outside. It ships double primed white, ready to paint or stain. A specialty paint finish can make a primed piece look like wood. Installed correctly, it will not rot, warp, or crack.
How to install
Use PL Premium on every bedding joint and every butt joint. Other adhesives can damage the urethane. Finish nails or screws hold the piece while the adhesive cures. Adhesive, nails, and finish are sold separately. If the product or the installation steps are changed, that is on the installer.
How long it takes
Pieces are made for the order, so they are not returnable. The order goes to the Spectis plant in Manitoba the same day. Most orders ship in 2 to 3 weeks. Larger orders can take up to 4 weeks. Confirm the SKU, the size, and the quantity before you buy.
Shipping a long piece
Anything over 72 inches ships by freight. A 12 foot piece ships in a wooden crate. On a smaller order we can cut a long piece in half. The shipping prices on the site are for a commercial address. A residence costs more after checkout. Call 800-986-1250 before a large order. Shipping is often lower, and on some orders it is free.
Use PL Premium on every joint. Pieces over 7 feet ship by freight. Shop all shutters or call 800-986-1250.
