  • Corrosion resistant window shutter
    Publication number: 20070094954
    Abstract: A window shutter has corrosion resistant stiles with a non-metallic core and louvers, and non-metallic top and bottom rails. The shutter is resistant to the adverse effects of sunlight, humidity, rain and wind, and will retard flying objects, and will pass commonly used missile tests for building materials. The resulting shutter will also withstand substantial stresses from wind loads, so as to perform satisfactorily in wind load tests. The window covering of the invention is substantially maintenance free.

  • Reinforced window shutter
    Publication number: 20030115817
    Abstract: A shutter for placement on the outside of a house or building is disclosed. The shutter is primarily made from a structural polymeric material, such as an expanded polyvinyl chloride. The shutter includes a decorative face panel that is attached to a back section. In order to consolidate the shutter, metallic channel members are placed along the vertical edges of the shutter. Once constructed, the entire shutter is then painted, which gives the shutter the appearance of a conventionally made wood shutter.
