What Does Made In The USA Mean When it Comes to Plantation Shutters in New Brunswick?
While you’re shopping for home improvement materials in New Brunswick, like window treatments, cabinets, or lighting, you may often see the term “Made In The USA” tossed around as a notable feature. Though “Made In The USA” may seem like a basic term, there are many requirements necessary for meeting compliance to be characterized as such.
The FTC mandates that the designation “Made in America” can only be labeled on products that are produced within the United States borders from "all or virtually all" US-based materials. That term applies to food, clothing, vehicles, and virtually all other merchandise that are purchased both at the store or online, including “Made in the USA'' plantation shutters -- like our popular Polywood® plantation shutters.
How Discount Plantation Shutters Are Produced
A popular way plantation shutter manufacturers reduce their costs is to have some of their materials assembled overseas and/or the entire shutter itself built outside of the US. Non-USA made shutters are not always easily recognized because not all corporations list the country of origin.
Many plantation shutter producers say they are “Made in the USA”, but the fact is, they only put the product together in the USA—which does not meet the FTC’s “Made in the USA” guidelines. This can be hard to decipher since many manufacturers do not specify where they source their supplies. Just know, if a producer buys their supplies from outside of the US and puts them together in the USA, they should not be placing the “Made in the USA” designation anywhere.
Benefits Of Purchasing Products Manufactured In The United States
The main benefit of buying “Made In The USA” items is that you protect American businesses. But there are additional concrete perks, too. Custom-built merchandise in New Brunswick that are “Made in the USA” are known for having quicker delivery times, superior overall quality, and a better amount of customization. For instance, when you order a Polywood® plantation shutter from Sunburst, you can get it custom-built to fit your specific window measurements in about 3 - 5 weeks compared to 8 - 12+ weeks for shutters manufactured outside of the US!
