Adding Alternative Wood Shutters to Homes
One of the beautiful things about living in the modern world is that we have alternatives- If you love creamer in your coffee but don’t like how it affects your stomach, you can get a non-dairy creamer instead. No longer do you have to settle for something that you don’t want; there is such a wide range of options available that there is an alternative to everything; that must be why they say that variety is the spice of life!
You can also introduce all kinds of alternative options into our home. For example, we love the authentic look of wood shutters, but they can be high maintenance and may not fit in exactly with your desired aesthetic. That is why Hunter Douglas offers the option of alternative wood shutters. Durable, classic, and gorgeous, alternative wood shutters instantly elevate your home while providing the durable construction of artificial window treatments. Read on to learn more about these stunning window treatments.
Introducing Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters
There are many reasons to add alternative wood shutters to your home. Perhaps you live in a humid area but still want the outside of your home to look a certain way without worrying about mold growing on everything. Or maybe you want to add a classic style to your kitchen or bathroom. Alternative wood shutters can withstand heat, humidity, and moisture without drooping, chipping, feeding, peeling, or warping.
Our Hunter Douglas Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters are specifically made to withstand various harsh elements inside and outside your home. This is because Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters feature a UV-resistant Polysatin™ compound that keeps the shutters looking brand new throughout the years. Plus, the slats are easy to clean, so the maintenance is low. No more worrying!
Adding Motorization
One thing that makes Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters unique is that they can be operated via automation. In fact, with PowerView® Automation, Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters are the only motorized shutters on the market. Motorized shutters allow you to adjust your shutters with the PowerView® App, Pebble® Control, or even your voice when you set it up with your favorite smart home devices, such as Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple Siri, and more.
Adding hands-free operation to your alternative wood shutters allows you to stop running around your house and adjusting your shutters throughout the day. Instead, you can relax doing things you enjoy doing! Cordless operation is also an excellent option for homes with small children or pets. No loose cords ensure that everyone stays out of trouble, and your shutters remain the way you want them to be.

We are located in North Dartmouth, Sagamore, and Canton, Massachusetts, and proudly serve North Dartmouth, Dartmouth, Plymouth, Pine Hills, Red Brick, Canton, Sagamore, Kingston, Duxbury, Carver, New Bedford, Massachusetts.
