Description
With all of the exterior shutter choices, why do more people choose Mid-America vinyl shutters for the outside of their home? It's simple - best value and widest selection of styles. Made from a weatherproof fade-resistant type of polypropylene (a durable type of plastic for outdoor use), Mid-America shutters are built to last and backed by a lifetime transferable product warranty.
Style L6 vinyl shutters don't have a mid rail in the center, so they will match virtually any window aperture. These window shutters come with a straight top design, which looks more like a natural wood shutter than a cathedral top. Custom made by hand, these outside vinyl shutters come in a wide variety of sizes ensuring you will receive the proper fit for each of your windows. Style L6 outside shutters come in widths of 9 1/4, 12, 14 1/2, 16 1/2, and 18 inches and can be ordered in one inch increments from 18 to 144 inches in height.
With 16 pre-colored shutter styles and one paintable shutter type available, you have the versatility to match your vinyl shutters with virtually any house trim color. Add decorative hinges to your outside shutters for an authentic colonial look.
Construction
Mid-America custom vinyl shutters are made from discrete injection-molded plastic parts. The parts are injection-molded in specific widths at the Mid-America central factory. We then cut to height and join the parts using factory-supplied ultrasonic welding equipment. The end result is a strong joint that won't come apart even under the most stringent weather conditions. Each shutter is then hand inspected to ensure high quality construction before it is shipped.

are displayed on the screen. To get an exact color match, we strongly recommend

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the advantages of vinyl shutters over wood shutters?
The color-through molded vinyl shutters are easy to install, easy to clean, do not warp, crack, fade, peel, split, or rot. Exterior vinyl shutters also provide better resilience than wood shutters under harsh conditions, such as near the ocean or in areas that receive heavy rainfall. - How do I remove the Shutter-Loks from the vinyl shutters once they are in place?
Slide a chisel behind the shutter until it comes in contact with the Shutter-Lok. 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 Shutter-Lok. After the shutter is removed, shear the remaining part of the Shutter-Lok 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.
