Description
Painted steel screws are commonly used by building contractors to install external shutters. They are great when you know you will be able to mount your vinyl external shutters into studs or other wooden surface. If the outside wall is made of stone, concrete, vinyl, brick, or another material that will require anchors, you might be better off using Mastic shutterplugs.
Mastic painted steel screws are color-coordinated to match Mastic external shutters and they are available in 15 pre-painted colors. Of course, you can paint these screws if you change your mind about the color of your external shutters later.
For external shutters that are 55" and less, Mastic recommends using 4 screws to mount each shutter (2 bags per shutter pair). Vinyl shutters 55" and over require 6 painted steel shutter screws each (3 bags per pair).

My exterior wall is uneven. How do I install my exterior vinyl shutters?
You can use ferrules (a short cylindrical pipe) as standoffs to keep your vinyl shutters stable. Simply paint them, trim to size, and mount them behind your exterior shutters. Do not to put wood blocks behind the vinyl exterior shutters because they will rot fairly quickly.

In the Colonial through the Old West era of North America, board and batten shutters and solid panel shutters were modified with diamond cutouts to be used for gun ports during shootouts. Over time, the cutouts in the window shutters were made into moons, hearts, flowers, and other decorative patterns. Today many wooden exterior shutters can still be ordered with decorative cutouts.
