Haven SmartWood Shutters
Our faux wood shutter option. Built for long-term performance in high humidty areas. Installed by experts.
Before you buy faux wood shutters, you should focus on the details that decide how they look and perform for years, and that’s exactly what we build around. We use solid construction, not hollow frames, so your shutters stay straighter and feel stronger, especially on larger openings where lighter builds can sag over time. We recommend faux wood when it is the smartest choice for your home because moisture resistance matters in bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms where humidity can create problems for natural wood. We also spec shutters that are built to handle heat and sun in bright windows, which helps reduce the long-term risk of warping or discoloration. Cleaning should be simple, so we choose faux wood that can handle a quick wipe-down when you need a deeper clean. Most importantly, we protect the final result by measuring and installing everything the right way, because fit is everything, and accurate measurements plus professional installation reduce gaps, rubbing, and uneven frames so your shutters operate smoothly and look finished from day one.
Designed for everyday living
Real wood shutters are not just about appearance. They are designed to solve daily problems like glare, inconsistent light, privacy concerns, and temperature swings near windows. Basswood’s natural insulating properties help reduce heat transfer, while adjustable louvers give you precise control over how much light enters each room throughout the day.This combination of function and form is why shutters are often chosen for primary living spaces, bedrooms, and front-facing windows.
2.5" - 4.5" Louver Size
Choose from louver sizes of 2.5" - 4.5". We will help you choose the best louver size for the space.
Control Options
You can have multipe control options such as hidden tilt where you have no center rail, split tilt which allows you to open or close the top or bottom half of your shutter and several other options. We carry samples to show you what will work best in your space.
Color Options
Most customers will find our standard color options will match their trim but if you have a specialty color or stain we can color match it perfectly.

Zinga's Reviews
Great experience - Casey, Tracey and Corey were the main professionals we worked with, and they made the scheduling, ordering and installation process seamless. We're really happy with our motorized screens and will definitely recommend Zingas to friends and neighbors.

Pat Reeves
Workibg with Casey and his team was great. Came out set up what we are looking for. Measured twice and the authored screens were installed. They look sharp block out the heat and they also work on an app.

Well I have start with Adrian Brown the guy I met at our clubhouse. He knows his products very well and explains everything very well. Unfortunately the board wasn't ready to move on. But I moved on with some Zebra shades in my condo. Adrian gave me good tips and suggestings. He even took pictures for me to see how the shades would look from the outside because our condo association requires white on the outside. Six weeks later I now have my motorized zebra shades, installed by Tony Fancher. He did a awesome job. He used his level tool so many time to make sure it prefect. Also there Misty who was always checking on things to go smoothly. Thanks Zinga's. I'm saving $$$ to do my other rooms. You have five stars from me.
Barbara Aspinall
We ordered a very large outdoor electric shade for our patio, Zingas was on-time (earlier than anticipated!) and quick and efficient with the install - we love the new privacy sun block that this new shade offers. Misty and the install team were great!
Betsy Willing
I had a wonderful experience working with Adrian from Zinga's. From start to finish, he provided exceptional customer service with prompt and professional communication every step of the way. What truly stood out was his willingness to go the extra mile to help me feel confident in my decisions. Adrian came to my home multiple times to assist with color selections and made the entire process feel easy and stress-free. His patience, expertise, and attention to detail were incredibly appreciated. I highly recommend Adrian from Zinga's to anyone looking for personalized service and a truly supportive experience.
Michelle Tovar
Great experience with the entire process. Installers Terry Henton and son Terry Henton Jr did a great job very caring of my property and aesthetics of how to install. Misty was great in communication. Product looks great. I ordered the white shades which look fantastic on my white outdoor pavilion.

Allen did an incredible job replacing our shutters! He was incredibly polite and professional throughout the process. He ensured the shutters Fit perfectly on our windows and left the area spotless. We are beyond satisfied with his exceptional work before he left!

Adrian was extremely professional and patient with us. He listened to our vision for the sunroom and then gave us multiple options to we found what we like. I would highly recommend Zingas to anybody who's looking for blinds, shades or shutters.
Paul Szabo
I’ve worked with Zinga’s for 20 years, and they continue to impress every single time. Not only have I used them for my personal home, but I also regularly refer my homebuyers/clients to them for window treatments, and the feedback is always the same: exceptional service, great communication, and beautiful results. Their team consistently goes above and beyond to take care of clients—making the process easy, stress‑free, and genuinely enjoyable. As a builder, having partners you can trust is everything, and Zinga’s has been rock‑solid from day one. I’m grateful for their professionalism and the care they show every buyer I send their way. Highly recommend.
Dawn Henderson
Fred and Chris installed motorized shades and wood blinds in our house in Indy. They were both professional, kind and quick. They gave us a call ahead of time to provide an ETA, which we appreciated. They cleaned up after themselves and even threw out our ugly, temporary shades for us. Super happy with the care they showed and the work they did in our home. Thank you Fred and Chris!
Rachel Phillips
I arranged to have a salesperson from Zinga come to my house to discuss motorized shades for my patio. They set up a time and confirmed, and Casey from their company came to my home and went over all of the options. He shared the difference between cable and track shades. He did not try to upsell me to something that was more expensive and that was not needed for my project, like other companies that came out had. It was because of his honesty and willingness to earn my business that I elected to use them for my project. Now this review is on Casey only, as I have not had the shades installed. I will share more once the shades have been installed.
Greg Jensen
Still great service 2.5 years to owning the blinds. Had to reset the blinds after adding decorative window sills and needed guidance. Step by step was sent quickly and we were able to fix on our own. They could have easily made us a service appointment and charged us, but helped us avoid doing so.
Greg Boylan
Adrian was the absolute best when he helped me select the perfect window treatments. He gave quality recommendations and it was very clear to me that he understood both his product line and their pricing very well and was able to explain it simply. I highly recommend Adrian for all of your Zinga's Tampa needs. Todd did an excellent job installing the window treatments, he was polite, quick, and thorough in explaining everything about how they worked. My custom window treatments are perfectly fitted for my windows and I am super happy with my purchase. Adrian measured them perfectly.
Kelly Peart
Zinga’s Nashville kept me informed on the progress of my order and install date. Misty followed up after installation to find out how things went and if there any problems . She also told me to call back if there any issues. Mindy and the rest of the team get ac5 star rating.
David Pacini
We had a fantastic experience with Zingas for our blinds installation. Steven Hill, our design consultant, was incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and attentive, he made the selection process easy and enjoyable. The installation team was professional, punctual, and did an excellent job. Everything looks beautiful and works perfectly. From consultation to installation, the process was seamless. Highly recommend Zingas and Steven Hill for quality blinds and outstanding service!
Michael Abel
It was very easy to work with Zingas because of my point of contact. Victoria was on top of EVERYTHING like white on rice. She was helpful, friendly and knowledgable.... always giving me updates, always setting things up at my convience, answered all my texts promptly, trouble shooted any issues with speed and accuracy. A company is often only as good as their point of contact. A company can quickly become a nightmare to deal with and cause great frustration trying to reach the correct person for each of the different issues, questions or concerns. With Zinga's I just talked to Victoria, and like magic everything was always handled on her end and I got all the updates. EVERY company should have a Victoria working for them on the front line because all "like" companies basically have the same product offering but whats sets them apart and gets them the word of mouth out ...good or bad, is how the people they hire to represent them treat the customer, and their reachability. If I were the CEO of Zinga's I would make sure that Victoria is shown appreciation for not just doing a job well done but for making Zingas look so good.
Jennifer DiGrazia
Great experience from Adrian's detailed consult to Misty's customer service, keeping us informed on our timeline. Install went smoothly and the plantation shutters look great. Professionalism shown all the way around.
A Landers
Superior product! Blinds installed in kitchen and living areas. Pleased with the esthetics. Installation services is also five stars. Their customer service as well! Definitely recommend Zinga for any window treatments. Thank you all so much!
Anne
Todd and Matt did a great job installing our plantation shutters and our power shades. We are in an older building and they did a great job of adjusting to the not so square construction. They were efficient, knowledgeable and very clean! Misty was a good connection as our customer service rep.

FAQs
Yes. Bathrooms are the #1 room where faux wood makes sense because humidity is constant. Real wood is porous, so it can swell, warp, or chip in high-humidity spaces over time.  Faux wood and composite shutters are commonly chosen for bathrooms because they resist moisture and warping better than wood, and they stay easier to maintain. 
We recommend faux wood when you want a shutter that holds its shape, stays smooth to operate, and does not need special care in a steamy room. We also measure for the room conditions so you get a tight, clean fit that still opens and closes easily.
They can if you buy low-grade materials. Heat builds up fast at the glass, especially on south- and west-facing windows. Quality composite systems are engineered to stay dimensionally stable and resist warping, twisting, and cupping. Many also use UV inhibitors to help protect the finish and reduce fading risk. 
We design around your window exposure. If your room gets hard afternoon sun, we build the layout and material choice to handle it so your shutters keep their alignment and still close cleanly season after season.
Some do. Yellowing is usually a sign of lower-grade material or a finish that was not built for UV exposure. Better shutter finishes use multiple protective layers and UV protectants designed to help the color stay stable over time. 
We focus on long-term color stability because a shutter should look the same next year as it does on install day. If a room gets heavy sun, we factor that in up front instead of guessing later.
One reason homeowners choose shutters is because they want something simple to live with. Real wood shutters require very little maintenance beyond regular dusting. There are no cords to replace, fabrics to clean, or mechanisms that wear out quickly. As long as shutters are kept dry and cleaned gently, they maintain their appearance and function well. Compared to many other window treatments, real wood shutters are one of the lowest-maintenance long-term options available.
People use these terms interchangeably, but they are not always the same product. “Faux wood” often refers to a composite or engineered material designed to look like painted wood. “Composite” usually means blended materials with a hard outer finish for durability and moisture resistance. Vinyl or PVC shutters can be very moisture resistant, but some vinyl options are hollow polyresin builds, and construction quality can vary a lot by brand. 
We help you choose based on how you actually live in the room. Humidity, sun exposure, window size, and daily use matter more than the label.
Price depends on window size, panel layout, frame style, and installation. National cost guides typically put faux wood/composite shutters below hardwood, with ranges often shown around $500–$600 per window or similar, depending on the source and scope. Installation pricing can also vary by home
We keep pricing straightforward by measuring your actual openings, building the right layout, and quoting the full project based on your home, not a generic online calculator.
