Exterior Composite Shutters
Comparison of LEGENDS (PolyLite & Traditional) and
Atlantic Premium (Classic & Architectural) Shutters
The number of the composite shutter choices has grown substantially in the last year. We have developed our LEGENDS line of composite shutters (PolyLite and Traditional) to add to Atlantic Premium Shutters Classic and Architectural offerings.
LEGENDS Composite Shutters are available in a light version (PolyLite) utilizing a high-density foam, pre-primed in faux louvered, raised panel and board and batten styles. This is a great product that has a solid back in lots of great designs at an economical cost.
LEGENDS Traditional composite shutters are produced from a proprietary composite/wood material. This material is produced in profiles shapes of the rails, styles and louvers that can be cut and assembled in a fashion similar to wood shutters. This opens the opportunity for special shapes and virtually unlimited design possibilities.
The Legends Traditional stock size shutter product is available in the 12 most popular colors, styles and sizes at lower prices.
The new LEGENDS Traditional custom composite shutter has 24 standard colors and can be painted virtually any custom color for low extra cost. The LEGENDS Traditional shutter has a life time limited warranty for materials and 10 years on the finish. You can order true louver, true tilting louver, raised panel, combination raised panel/louver, board and batten, with arched, curved, cutouts plus the ever popular Bahama style shutters, or any design you may have in mind. They are even available approved for hurricane protection. (note cutouts are available on Raised panel and Board N Batten only.)
LEGENDS Traditional shutters are competitively priced below comparable products and in many cases can be shipped in 3-4 weeks.
Atlantic renamed their Stonefield line to "Classic" and their Fiberglass line to "Architectural". The most popular styles have been retained and a few new designs added. Prices have been increased mainly for smaller shutters and the larger shutters, in some cases, have been reduced.
The Classic line consists of a faux louver (solid back) style; raised panel and board and batten styles. They are no longer offering a faux tilt rod option. The material used is Atlantic's proprietary composite material with a 10-year warranty on the material and the finish.
The Architectural product is a top-of-the-line shutter comprised of a combination of composite and fiberglass materials with a life-time material and a 15-year finish warranty. It is architecturally correct and historically accurate. Atlantic Premium Architectural Shutters are available in true louver (open back), raised panel, combination louver and panel and the ever-popular Bahama-shutter styles. The Architectural shutters are fully operational and there is hardware that compliments the shutters and provides full functionality. The Architectural shutters are available in 40 standard colors with custom colors available at considerable extra charge.
