AGI Group, Inc. continues to expand our Legends Vinyl Shutter line.  Based on customer requests, we now offer two distinctly different Legends Vinyl Shutter Products - A stock-size, Easy-On-The-Budget Shutter and a Custom-Made, SELECT Shutter where we have managed to sneak in a few stock sizes to reduce the price of this fine shutter. See below for a detailed, feature-by-feature comparison of the differences between Mid-America and our Legends Vinyl Shutters.

General Information
There is a proportional relationship of stile width and the overall width of a shutter panel.

The Rigid Select maintains this proportional difference as panel widths change. IE a narrow 7" wide panel has a narrower stile than a 14-1/2" panel providing the proper traditional size relation ship. This attention to detail insures you will have a true architecturally accurate shutter as only Legends Rigid Select shutters provides.
