Wood ShuttersThe origin of Plantation Shutters is in the name. They originate in the American South, from the large farms or estates that typically grew coffee, tobacco, cotton or sugar, that were more commonly known as Plantations.
Basswood is now the most popular wood for shutters, outpacing pine and poplar. These can be painted and stained, and are a light, flexible material that makes them good for a variety of designs. However, they’re not moisture resistant and they cost more than synthetic shutters. Maintenance is the big issue of wood shutters, they have to be re-painted after a couple of years. The most selling part of wood shutters are the most beautiful warm colors of the wood. It’s always the customers decision!

Composite ShuttersBenefits of MDF for Composite Wood Shutters
Is an excellent substrate for veneers. Some varieties are less expensive than many natural woods Isotropic (its properties are the same in all directions as a result of having no grain), so no tendency to split. Consistent in strength and size. Shapes well. Stable dimensions (won’t expand or contract like wood). Easy to finish (i.e., paint)
Drawbacks of MDF for Composite Wood Shutters
Denser than plywood or chipboard (the resins are heavy). Low grade MDF may swell and break when saturated with water. May warp or expand if not sealed. May release formaldehyde, which is a known human carcinogen and may cause allergy, eye and lung irritation when cutting and sanding. Dulls blades more quickly than many woods. Use of tungsten carbide edges cutting tools is almost mandatory, as high speed steel dulls too quickly. Though it does not have a grain in the plane of the board, it does have one into the board. Screwing into the edge of a board will generally cause it to split in a fashion similar to delaminating. Subject to significant shrinkage in low humidity environments. Trim (e.g. baseboards) comes pre-primed, but this is insufficient for fine finish painting. Painting with latex paints is difficult due to rapid water absorption. Most finishes appear uneven and nail holes tend to pucker.
