DuraShutter® utilizes 25+ years of consumer-accepted technologies commonly used in the furniture industry, such as durable low cost laminate material made by the world’s largest laminate manufacture Patrick Industries Inc. NASDEX: PATK

Durability: Finish TESTING 

Note: DuraShutter® is made of H-MDF (not partial board) ‘video’ only depicts the method/concept

Wood composite is the product of different types of wood being bound together, and represents the latest technology in maintenance-free materials. Because there is such variation between different species of trees, and even among trees of the same species, solid wood does not compare with reconstituted wood in the range of properties that can be controlled in processing. With wood composite, properties can be controlled at increasingly minute levels, creating a building material that, unlike traditional wood, is robust and impervious to water. All finished with non vinyl (PVC) Eco friendly laminates material that outperforms all other shutter finishes for durability for scratch, stain and fade resistance.
