What Does Made In The USA Mean For Plantation Shutters in Dallas?
When you’re in the market for home improvement products in Dallas, such as window treatments, furniture, or decor, you will often see the label “Made In The USA” tossed around as a notable feature. Even though it may seem like a basic term, there are many requirements necessary in order to meet compliance to be defined as such.
The FTC mandates that the label “Made in America” can only be labeled on items that are produced inside the United States borders from "all or virtually all" US-based materials. That label applies to things we eat, apparel, cars, and virtually all other products that are purchased both in the store and online, which includes “Made in the USA'' plantation shutters -- such as our popular Polywood® plantation shutters.
How Discount Plantation Shutters Are Produced
A popular way plantation shutter producers reduce their spending is to have some of their components made overseas and/or the whole shutter itself manufactured outside of the US. Non-USA manufactured shutters are not always easily identified because not all producers list the country of origin.
Many plantation shutter manufacturers claim they are “Made in the USA”, but actually, they only assemble in the USA—and this does not meet the Federal Trade Commission’s “Made in the USA” rules. This can be hard to interpret since many manufacturers do not provide where they source their supplies. Just remember, when a producer sources their supplies from another country and puts them together in the USA, they should not be utilizing the “Made in the USA” label anywhere.
Benefits Of Buying Items Produced In The United States
The main benefit of purchasing “Made In The USA” merchandise is that you support American businesses. But there are additional tangible benefits, too. Custom-made products in Dallas that are “Made in the USA” are known for having faster delivery times, superior overall quality, and a better amount of customization. For example, when you purchase a Polywood® plantation shutter from Sunburst, you can get it custom-made to match your specific window measurements in about 3 - 5 weeks compared to 8 - 12+ weeks for shutters assembled in another country!
