Job description

Company Overview

For over 25 years, the Polywood Shutter Company has made custom-crafted interior shutters and window treatments. Their premier product, Polywood Shutters, is composed of a patented faux-wood material. Each panel is ordered and made with the exact dimensions of a homeowner’s window. With precision manufacturing, Polywood shutters should last a lifetime and should never fade, warp, yellow, or crack.

The Polywood Shutter Company also makes hardwood shutters, reclaimed wood shutters, and budget-friendly studio shutters. Each product is still custom-crafted to fit the window and gets the same attention to detail as the signature Polywood shutters. Both Polywood and Ovation Hardwood shutters can be fitted to specialty windows like arches, circles, sidelights, and bow windows.

All shutter products except our Ovation shutters are manufactured in the USA. Shutters are hand-crafted to a homeowner's exact window measurements. The Polywood Shutter Company strives to keep a standard of quality and craftsmanship that’s above all others. Every shutter is manufactured in-house by seasoned professionals, and never outsourced or subcontracted out.
