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
We had an amazing experience with Zingas! Talk about underprivileged and overdeliver!! We met with Adrian 1 week after moving into our new-built home in Ocala. He was prompt and personable. We bonded over England/Brazil WC soccer while he made a thorough presentation and explained our options. We chose Plantation shutters for 2 rooms and a blind for the laundry room. Then he said, 8 to 10 weeks...🙄 We'll We just retires so flexibility is our new motto. He told us Mindy would be in touch throughout the rest of the process. A week later we got our first text, and then weekly contacts after that. Three days ago we received a morning text saying we were on track for 5 to 7 weeks, right in line with Adrian's comment. At 5 that afternoon, we got another text saying our materials had all arrived and could they come today for installation - 4 weeks earlier than predicted!!! Hallelujah!!! Todd arrived today and in less than 2 hours the shutters and blinds were installed-awesome!!!! Thank you Adrian, Misty and Todd for the excellent service and beautiful product. Although we were fine about 8 to 10 weeks which could have been the case, we are thrilled to have the treatments early.😁😁😁

I saw an advertisement in the local Naples paper while visiting during the Easter holiday. Not expecting a purchase just seeking options. The Zinga's reprep Adam was so helpful, the options so varied I suggested my friend consider this seriously. When she worried about slower business I decided it was a perfect gift for her birthday which would take place in 9 weeks. They promise 7-9 weeks on custom made shades! The result was my friend who was a part of my wedding 40 yrs ago loves them! Thank you Adam & Tracy! Her birthday is the same day as Taylor Swift. This was better than a trip to NYC!

Thanks Misty for sending us simple instructions to adjust one our screens. Now they're back to working perfectly. We LOVE our Zingas screened in porch and appreciate their prompt customer service and helpful staff like Misty. God Bless Y'all!
Phil Kearney
Zingas is and will be our go-to for any window treatments. Zingas installed our plantation shutters and French door shades. From customer service to install, it was a 10/10 experience. Tracy, Garett, and our 2 service men (sorry don’t have their names) were a top notch operation. Communication was amazing!!!
Kathy Freeman
Pleasantly surprised by the friendly, professional, and responsive customer service at Zinga’s. Tracy was so wonderful. She helped me get my shades and blinds installed before the Fourth holiday and she was so supportive along the way to make sure all went smoothly. Five stars!!
Maud Zneimer
I just received my fourth (or fifth?) Zinga's order, this one was a motorized porch screen. As each time before, Zinga's sends txts to keep me abreast of dates/times/personnel/changes - anything that is necessary and helpful to know. The screen installers, Terry Henten (and his son, Terry) were excellent, efficient, and a pleasure to have around. They installed the screen perfectly, helped me setup an app to control it when we're away, and were meticulous in leaving nothing behind or undone. But the MAIN reason I'm giving them five stars is because five is all I'm allotted. Highly recommend.
Jan Long
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.

Mark and Andrew did an awesome job on installing my patio screens. They look great!!! Also like to thank Amber who kept me informed throughout the process. Everyone was very professional. Will definitely recommend your company 😊
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.

I am really pleased with my choice of going with Zinga, to do my window treatment... I was extremely pleased with the quality of work, detail, materials, the look, and the staff... They were extremely, professional, kind, knowledgeable, and very attentive... They listened to what my vision was, and didn't try to convince me to take an alternate route. Of course they had suggestions. But, at the end of the day, they allowed me to fulfill my vision. The sales person was great. My contact person, Jenny, kept me informed of the process. And, the installer was very good and professional, as well... I look forward to working with Zinga, in the future...

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.

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
Zinga’s installed motorized patio screens on our covered back porch and the result is great. The screens completely changed how usable the patio is, especially with afternoon sun and wind. Justin helped on the design side and Terry handled the install. We went with 90% openness on the west and 70% on the south, which was the right call for our space. A few post-install items came up and the Zinga’s team followed through to make everything right. The Somfy TaHoma integration is working well after some network tuning on my side. Very happy with the outcome. The patio now feels like a true 3-season space. Highly recommend Zinga’s, and thanks to Justin and Terry for a job well done.
Alex Goga
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.
Babette Miller
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!
joeel king
Our installation was clean and pleasant. The technician was able to remove blinds and install shutters in a smooth knowledgeable manner. He was pleasant to work with. The shutters themselves are beautiful and built to fit each window. The staff was very pleasant to work with whenever they called or needed any assistance. I would use Zinga’s shutters again and recommend them for anyone.
Edward Campbell
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.

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!

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.
