Wood shutters can be stained and painted and are a construction material for shutters that has been used for centuries.

Polywood are more moisture and impact resistant. However, the polywood is not is strong as wood and may sag if built as a wider panel unless the polywood is reinforced with an inner material like aluminum. Paint does not adhere as well to polywood, so you may have more limited color selection.
