The truth about why some companies try to scare you into buying "All Poly" shutters.

Some companies only sell ONE type of shutter. What kind of shutter do they sell? Yup. You guessed it! THEY ONLY SELL ALL POLY.


We get it... If you only offer all poly you don't want your customers to consider anything else. You tell potential customers that wood shutters will warp, crack and split in our humid coastal summer heat. If you're a hammer you try to turn everything into a nail.


But take a look around your home... What are your cabinet doors made of? What are your coffee table, your beds and dining chairs made of? Odds are they're at least partially solid wood. When you really look, there's lots of solid wood in your home.


But how can this be? If solid wood will warp, split and crack in a high humidity environment, how can it only happen to your shutters & not the other solid wood stuff?


The truth is IT WON'T.  The same process that makes solid wood environmentally stable for cabinet doors, furniture & everything else makes it stable for shutters.

Companies that only sell all poly don't want you to know this.


Here's a question you should ask any company that only offers all poly... how many paint colors do you offer?

If they only offer one paint color, odds are their "factory" is importing pre-painted parts from China and only assembling them in the US.

Sound misleading? We think so too.


If you don't like the idea of buying from a company that misleads you, please consider giving Carolina Custom Shutters a try. 


Why?


  • We offer three material solutions:

    • solid wood

    • hybrid

    • all poly

    • Why? It allows us to customize solutions to truly meet the needs of our customers instead of trying to force all customers into one solution.


  • We can stain or paint your shutters in any color

    • How? Because we have a real manufacturing facility where we paint and stain the shutters we build every day.


  • We started in the shutter business in 1991.


  • We've been building (not just assembling) our shutters in High Point, NC USA (the heart of the furniture industry in the US) since 1997 and we've been serving Brunswick County this entire time.


Want proof that our shutters hold up in our coastal environment?

  • I've had hybrid shutters (wood frame with poly louvers) in my home on the island in Sunset Beach since 2016.  That's 10 years of hot, humid summers.  Give me a call.  You can come over & see them to decide for yourself.


Want truly personal service? 

  • I sell and install every job myself.  That's right... the person who sells you the job is the person who installs it.  This ensures the commitments we make to you at the sales call are met at the installation.  True accountability from beginning to end.  And we won't ask you to pay until the job is installed to your satisfaction.
