The difference is that fake brick and fake columns can form visually convincing illusions. Fake shutters aren't a convincing illusion of real shutters, but they look enough like shutters that they aren't convincing as non-functional decoration, either.
If you had fake shutters that were wide enough that I could imagine them being able to cover the window if they were able to close, I personally wouldn't be bothered by them.
- bombcar 5y agoWhat about real but collapsible shutters? They often come from above but they scrunch down to a smaller space than actual shutters would.
- philwelch 5y agoI don't have a problem with folding shutters, though I don't see them around much.
- WarOnPrivacy 5y agoI've seen them up north and I think they're a good fit there. I suspect (not sure) that they aren't as strong as single piece shutters and here on the Gulf coast it might make a difference. Noting here that I prefer typical shutters over rolldown protection. Hinged shutters are great to reduce light and the winds that rolldown are good for can lift off (gable strapped) roofs.
