Composite/ Hybrid/MDF shutters are made of Medium Density
Fiberboard (MDF) covered in a polypropoleyne. The
poly surface is intended to give you durability like
poly or vinyl shutters but the challenge really comes
from the MDF base. The MDF base is a water sponge
and at the exposed louver or stile ends where the
MDF is only covered with paint, the base may start
absorbing moisture, swelling and the surface may
start delaminating, especially in a hot or humid window
environment. Similar to MDF kitchen cabinet lines with
laminated surfaces, this products durability is not the
greatest and may be questionable in certain environments.
What shutter you pick really depends on your application and
product availability in your area. Most homes use neutral whites
and would be perfect for poly or vinyl shutters. Rooms that need
rich stain colors or custom color matches, would use wood. When
shopping for Portland shutters, always ask about the construction as this is directly related to trouble free operation and lifespan of the product.
The answer or lack of information will immediately make the underlying quality apparent.
