Shutters can generally be expected to last many years, with minimal care. They are extremely durable and are scratch and dent-resistant. Rainbow shutters offer a 25-year warranty on their shutters. They won't be damaged by the sun since they're UV resistant, and can't be damaged by water or steam in high moisture areas. You can even clean with them mild soap and water and the surface won't be damaged, unlike their more costly wood counterparts. Their greatest advantage is for those who seek control over both light and airflow into their homes and are looking for very low maintenance and durable window covering.
