Description
No other vinyl shutter product on the market looks, installs, or performs like Alcoa Vintage® vinyl shutters. Made from a thick, durable copolymer material and cast in carefully engineered injection molds, it is not possible to get closer in looks and consistency to real wood shutters unless you buy real wood. Your home is your pride and joy, so why would you put an inferior vinyl shutter on it?

Alcoa custom raised panel vinyl shutters are built by hand after you place your order using the latest ultrasonic welding technologies and crafted to perfection. They are finished with a baked-on acrylic paint that is UV stabilized for protection against the sun's harmful rays. Although they look very much like natural wood shutters, you don't ever have to worry about rotting, molding, splitting, or cracking. These exterior vinyl shutters are covered by a lifetime limited warranty that is transferable if you should sell your home. You can order Alcoa custom raised panel shutters in 12" and 14 5/8" widths and in heights from 18" to 96" so you are sure to get the right fit for your home.

Installing your Alcoa Vintage® vinyl exterior shutters is very easy - even the most light-hearted do-it-yourselfer can put them up in a matter of minutes. Since they are decorative shutters, you don't have to worry about installing complicated operable mounting hardware - simply drill a few holes and tap in the shutterplugs.

With 15 pre-finished shutter colors available, you have a wide range of options for matching your home's exterior trim. And if none of those colors suit your liking, Alcoa vinyl shutters can be painted to match your home. Add our black plastic faux shutter hinges to your vinyl shutters for the perfect finishing touch.

Construction

Alcoa Vintage® custom vinyl shutters are made from discrete parts that come from a plastic injection mold. The parts are molded into a few standard widths. After the shutters have been ordered the parts are cut to height and welded together using state of the art ultrasonic fabricating equipment. The result is a strong durable shutter that will last for decades.

The final stage is where the vinyl shutters are spray painted with the desired color of paint which is then baked on to ensure a durable finish. Alcoa custom vinyl shutters are always hand inspected to ensure they meet the highest quality standards before they are shipped.

Frequently Asked Questions
  • Will painting these exterior vinyl shutters diminish the wood grain texture?
    No. Although the texture is not as deep as with some other brands of vinyl shutters, Alcoa Vintage® shutters still look like real wood even with a coat or two of paint applied.
  • How do I remove the Shutterplugs from the vinyl shutters once they are in place?
    Slide a chisel behind the vinyl shutter until it comes in contact with the Shutterplug. Make sure to keep the sharp edge of the chisel away from the wall. Give the chisel a sharp tap with a hammer and it will cut through the Shutterplug. After the shutter is removed, shear the remaining part of the Shutterplug flush with the surface and bore out the shank with a drill. Fill the hole with silicone to weatherproof. See our Vinyl Shutter Removal Instructions for additional information.
  • My exterior wall is uneven. How do I install my exterior vinyl shutters?
    You can use ferrules (a short cylindrical pipe) as standoffs to keep your vinyl shutters stable. Simply paint them, trim to size, and mount them behind your exterior shutters. Do not to put wood blocks behind the vinyl exterior shutters because they will rot fairly quickly.
  • I am looking for Cellwood exterior shutters and I noticed Alcoa exterior shutters have the same colors. Will Alcoa exterior shutters match my Cellwood vinyl shutters?
    Yes. Alcoa exterior shutters are a compatible product with Cellwood exterior shutters. The colors are exactly the same and if they are installed side-by-side it is unlikely you would be able to tell the difference.

Did You Know...
In tropical areas, many structures have no glass windows and rely solely on louvered shutters to keep the rain from entering the interior. These specialized louvered shutters are commonly referred to as Bahama shutters, Burmuda shutters, or island shutters because of their origin.

Vynal Raised Panel Shutter Width
IMPORTANT: The actual width for vinyl shutters may be slightly larger or slightly smaller than the width you choose, and will vary from one color to the next. These are normal variations due to the vinyl shutter manufacturing process. If the space is limited where you are installing your vinyl shutters, please contact us before placing your order so we can give you a precise width measurement.

To choose the correct width of shutters for your home, it is usually best to find a single width that works for all of your windows. Keep in mind that vinyl shutters are for decorative purposes only. In general it is best to order exterior vinyl shutters that are 25% to 33% of the width of your window (including the window frame) for the best look.

That said, if you want to make the decorative shutters look like they will close over your windows, it is also perfectly acceptable. In this case you would order outdoor shutters that are 50% of the window width. Exterior shutters should never exceed 50% of the window width, so when ordering vinyl shutters you should err on the side of being narrower than 50% of the window width when your exact size is not available.

For example, if you have a 30 inch wide window, your "ideal" shutter width would be 15 inches. Since we don't always have a 15 inch size available, the next best match would be 14 1/2 inch wide window shutters.

We have provided the following chart to assist you as a general guideline with choosing your vinyl shutter width.

Width of your windows Recommended shutter width
18" or smaller 5¾" or 8½"
18" to 24" 9", 9¼", or 11"
24" to 28" 12"
28" to 36" 12", 14½", or 15"
36" to 40" 14½" or 15"
40" to 43" 14½", 15", or 16½"
43" to 48" 16½"
48" to 50" 16½" or 18"
50" or larger 18"

Height for Raised Panel Shutters for Outside Windows
Enter the height of the shutter to the nearest inch.

It is usually best to measure the entire height of the window including the window frame, but excluding any window sill. Vinyl shutters are for decorative purposes and do not open and close, so the measurment can vary by as much as an inch and still look good.

It is important to understand that there are many ways to measure your windows, as construction materials and architecture vary from one region to the next. The best advice we can give you is to carefully inspect how the houses in your local area have installed their exterior shutters and to install your exterior shutters the same way. While most people install decorative shutters to make their home "stand out", it is also important to make sure it "fits in" to your own neighborhood so it will truely improve the value of your home.

Alcoa exterior vinyl shutters can be mounted with screws that are painted to match your window shutters or with Shutterplugs. Both types of hardware are included with each pair of Alcoa exterior shutters. The type of hardware you use depends primarily on the surface you are mounting to.


Shutterplug Shutter Installation

Alcoa Shutterplugs are designed to make installation easy. They can be mounted on virtually any surface with no anchors and the installation is permanent. Shutterplugs are all-in-one mounting hardware that work as a combination anchor and decorative fastener. When installed, they look like buttons on your exterior shutters - a nice added touch. The fasteners are pre-molded to match the same color as the exterior shutters and they are paintable just like Alcoa shutters.

As a rule of thumb, it is best to use Shutterplugs to install your vinyl shutters when the surface will require you to use anchors, such as with brick or faux stone. However, since they will work with any surface they can be used to simplify any window shutter installation.


Painted Screw Shutter Installation

Painted steel screws are typically used by home improvement contractors for a quick installation. The screws are painted to match the vinyl shutters. Using painted screws provides you with a removable installation and you end up with a smaller piece protruding from the vinyl shutter surface.

Painted screws work best for exterior shutter installations on siding or wood as anchors will be required for some other surfaces.
