Do Shutters Discolour Over Time?

It is completely normal for shutters to experience some discolouration over time, as they are constantly exposed to sunlight, dust, and other environmental factors. However, the extent to which this discolouration occurs can vary depending on the quality of the shutters and the level of maintenance they receive. High-quality shutters that are properly cared for are less likely to discolour significantly, maintaining their original appearance for longer periods of time.

To prevent or minimise discolouration, it is important to clean your shutters regularly using gentle cleaning products and techniques recommended by the manufacturer. Additionally, applying a protective coating or sealant to the shutters can help shield them from UV rays and other damaging elements. By taking these simple steps, you can prolong the life of your shutters and keep them looking fresh and vibrant for years to come.  

How To Prevent Mould Around Windows

Quality and finish  

The likelihood of shutters discolouring largely depends on two key factors: the quality of the shutters and their finish. Cheaper shutters made from subpar materials are more likely to fade or discolour over time due to exposure to sunlight and other environmental factors. In contrast, shutters from high-quality manufacturers like Sunset Shutters are crafted using durable materials and premium finishes, making them more resistant to the effects of ageing and UV rays.

At Sunset Shutters, we take pride in offering customers long-lasting and beautiful shutters that not only enhance the aesthetic of their homes but also stand the test of time.

Our commitment to quality craftsmanship and superior materials means that our shutters are less prone to discolouration, ensuring that they retain their original look and appeal for years to come. By investing in shutters from Sunset Shutters, customers can feel confident that they are getting a product that is not only stylish but also built to last.  

Maintaining your shutters  

Quality plays a big role in your shutter’s longevity, but so does maintenance. Luckily, taking care of your shutters doesn’t mean endless cleaning. Here are a few of our quick and easy tips to keep yours gleaming:  

Dusting  

Dust can cause a dull appearance over time. Regular dusting with a soft cloth will keep your shutters looking sharp.  

Cleaning  

Use mild soap and water for cleaning. Harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners can damage the finish and colour.  

Avoid excessive moisture.  

Especially for wooden shutters, excessive moisture can lead to warping and discolouration. Ensure that any dampness is promptly wiped off.  

UV Protection  

If your shutters are exposed to direct sunlight, consider measures like window films to reduce the impact of UV rays. However, our shutters are all coated in UV-protective paint, helping them stand up to the sun.
