Progressive Shutters & Components custom shutter structure comes with a limited lifetime warranted against manufacturer's defects for the buyer.
Progressive Shutters & Components custom shutters are constructed of kiln-dried basswood containing no more than 8% moisture by weight. Kept reasonably dry, this wood will maintain its pristine state across a normal lifetime. Exposed to moisture, basswood tends to resist absorption as it is a close-grained hardwood and is typically finished with a water-resistant paint or sealer. However, over time and repeated exposure, even the best seals break down. The likeliest sources of repeated exposure include showers, sinks, open windows, broken window seals and air conditioning vents.
Evidence of moisture damage may include swelling, cracked wood, cracked paint and discoloration. In extreme cases, hardware may rust and panels may no longer operate properly due to expansion or misalignment from swelling.
