Repairing your broken shutters comes easy with the right tools. You don’t need to replace them if the damage is minor.
Here’s an easy step-by-step guide that you can follow to repair your window shutters:
- Use Glue and Staple. Use glue or a staple gun to fix a few damages. If you’re using glue, choose a high-quality adhesive. You can use superglue, an epoxy resin, or a hot glue gun. Use a thin brush for application to areas that must be held together. Then allow it to dry. If you’re not sure what type of glue to use, take a picture of the damage and consult your local hardware store. Use a staple gun once gluing is done. For your protection, wear safety glasses and gloves.
- Fill in Holes. Purchase a wood filler to patch up holes in a shutter. For proper application, follow the instructions in the packaging. Smoothen out the filler afterward to ensure that there are no bumps. If you’re not repainting the entire shutter, take a photo of it and bring it to the hardware store so you can buy the matching shade.
- Repaint. When you’re done fixing the damage, consider repainting the shutter. Repainting the entire shutter will make it look good as new. Use a paintbrush with thin bristles for precise application. Let the shutter dry in normal temperature.
