Inside or outside shutters

Quality interior wood shutters resist bowing and twisting. Choose between traditional 1 ¼" louvers or plantation shutters with wider 2, 3 and 4 inch sizes. The best designs are assembled with vertical stiles, horizontal rails and tilt bars that are constructed from solid pieces. Built from lightweight basswood, wooden shutters come stained or painted with a process of sealing, sanding, priming and finishing with two top coats.

Cafe style shutters cover the lower half of windows; single tiers with or without a divider rail or double tiers that open individually are also available. Buy a standard design or order a custom made style to fit arches and angles.

Low maintenance shutters

Faux wood is an inexpensive and easy to maintain window covering that is resistant to moisture and damage. Exterior shutters manufactured from composite or vinyl will not fade, peel or crack. They do not show dents or scratches and can be cleaned with a damp cloth without fear of ruining the finish. Outdoor grades will have aluminum reinforcements through the stress points to prevent warping.
