Polycore Shutters in Lakewood, CA

If you want shutters that combine cutting-edge engineering with timeless beauty, Polycore shutters are the premium choice for Southern California homes. They offer the elegant look of wood with superior durability and performance, making them ideal for homeowners who refuse to compromise on quality or style.

We source our Polycore shutters from a trusted manufacturer recognized as the industry leader in aluminum-reinforced shutter technology. Their nearly 10 years of research and development have created the most advanced plantation shutter on the market today.

Our Polycore Shutter Options

We offer Polycore shutters that represent the pinnacle of shutter engineering and design. Here’s what makes our Polycore shutters stand out from everything else available:

Revolutionary Aluminum-Reinforced Construction

Polycore shutters feature innovative co-extruded aluminum reinforcement. The aluminum core is actually extruded into the solid polymer components during manufacturing, creating rails, stiles, and louvers that are straight as an arrow with unmatched strength and rigidity.

Completely Moisture & Mildew Resistant

Polycore shutters are impervious to moisture and mildew. Unlike wood that warps or standard Polycore that can degrade, these shutters maintain their perfect shape and appearance in bathrooms, kitchens, or any high-humidity environment throughout Southern California’s varying conditions.

Extensive Color Selection & Finish Durability

We offer a highly versatile selection of colors developed to match any décor. The state-of-the-art baked-on waterborne paint finish ensures your shutters will never warp, crack, chip, or peel—a lifetime guarantee of beauty backed by superior coating technology.

Built for Southern California

The UV rays, temperature swings, and occasional humidity all take their toll. Polycore shutters are specifically designed to resist fading and deterioration from sun exposure.

UV Resistant & Weather Impervious

The advanced materials and finish make Polycore shutters completely UV resistant, protecting against Southern California’s intense sun exposure. They’re impervious to all weather elements, maintaining their color and structural integrity year after year.

Superior Energy Efficiency

The aluminum-reinforced construction provides exceptional insulation, helping keep your home cooler in summer and warmer in winter while reducing energy costs significantly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Polycore Shutters vs Other Materials
How do Polycore shutters compare to wood shutters?

Polycore shutters give you the traditional look of wood with all the advantages of synthetic materials. They’re more durable, never need refinishing, and resist moisture completely thanks to aluminum reinforcement. Wood offers authentic grain, but Polycore delivers superior performance without the maintenance.

Will Polycore shutters look premium in my home?
Absolutely. Polycore shutters are our premium product line with innovative construction, baked-on finish, and traditional styling that surpasses standard Polycore and rivals high-end wood shutters in beauty.
Are Polycore shutters actually more durable than other options?

Significantly more durable. The co-extruded aluminum reinforcement creates components that won’t bend, sag, or warp—ever. The baked-on finish won’t chip, crack, or peel. They’re moisture-proof, UV-resistant, and built to last 50+ years.

Can I use Polycore shutters in every room?

Yes, and they’re especially perfect for challenging environments like bathrooms, kitchens, and oceanfront properties where moisture or extreme conditions exist. They’re ideal for any space where you want the highest quality window covering.

Installation & Customization
Can Polycore shutters be custom-sized for my windows?

Absolutely. Every Polycore shutter is custom-manufactured for your windows. We offer the widest selection of specialty shapes: arches, sunbursts, eyebrows, slant tops, hexagons, rakes, French door cutouts, ovals, and octagons.

How long does it take to get Polycore shutters installed?

Manufacturing typically takes 3-4 weeks after approval, with weekly production updates. Installation usually takes about 3 hours for most projects. Our in-house team works efficiently and leaves your home spotless.

Do you install one window at a time or do I need to do multiple?

Either way works! Unlike competitors requiring at least three windows, we have zero minimum orders. Start with one window to experience Polycore quality, then add more later, or do your whole house at once.

What louver sizes are available for Polycore shutters?

We offer 2.5″, 3.5″, and 4.5″ aluminum-reinforced louver widths. Larger louvers provide expansive views and suit larger windows. Smaller louvers fit traditional styles perfectly. We’ll recommend the ideal size during your free consultation.

Maintenance & Care
How do I clean Polycore shutters?

Incredibly easy. Dust with a soft cloth or vacuum’s brush attachment. For deeper cleaning, wipe with a damp cloth and dry immediately. The baked-on finish never needs refinishing or repainting.

Will Polycore shutters fade in the sun?

Never. They’re manufactured with UV-resistant materials and advanced coatings engineered to resist sun damage. Southern California’s intense UV exposure won’t fade, yellow, or degrade these shutters with a manufacturer guarantee.

Can Polycore shutters be repaired if something breaks?

Yes, though damage is extremely rare due to aluminum-reinforced construction. Individual components can typically be replaced without removing the entire shutter. Our 25-year warranty covers manufacturing defects.

Do Polycore shutters scratch easily?
They’re highly scratch-resistant thanks to the durable baked-on finish. The coating withstands daily wear far better than painted wood or standard Polycore. Minor marks are barely visible and don’t affect performance.
Cost & Value
Are Polycore shutters expensive?
Polycore shutters are our premium product line, priced higher than standard Polycore but competitive with high-end wood. You’re investing in aluminum-reinforced engineering and lifetime durability. Zero maintenance costs and 50+ year lifespan make them the best value long-term.
Do Polycore shutters increase home value?

Absolutely! Premium plantation shutters typically return about 75% of their cost in increased home value. Polycore shutters enhance your home’s appeal and signal quality that buyers recognize and value.

Can I get a payment plan for Polycore shutters?

While we don’t directly offer financing, many customers use credit cards with promotional rates or home equity lines. We’re happy to work with your timeline and budget.
