SHUTTERS

Simple and Contemporary

Shutters are solid window coverings with hinged panels, typically made of wood, vinyl, or composite materials, that can be opened or closed to control light, ventilation, and privacy. Here are some key features and considerations of shutters:

  • Material: Shutters are available in various materials, including wood, vinyl, and composite. Wood shutters offer a classic and elegant look, while vinyl and composite shutters are more durable and resistant to moisture, making them suitable for high-humidity areas like bathrooms and kitchens.
  • Style: Shutters come in different styles, including traditional, plantation, and café. Traditional shutters have smaller louvers and are often found in older homes or historical buildings. Plantation shutters have wider louvers and are popular for their timeless and versatile look. Café shutters cover only the bottom half of the window, offering privacy while still allowing natural light to enter the room.
  • Light Control: Shutters provide excellent control over light and privacy. The adjustable louvers can be tilted to allow varying degrees of light to enter the room while still maintaining privacy. When fully closed, shutters block out almost all light, making them ideal for bedrooms and media rooms.
  • Ventilation: Shutters can be opened partially or fully to allow fresh air and ventilation into the room. This is especially beneficial during mild weather when you want to enjoy the outdoors without compromising privacy.
  • Insulation: Shutters provide insulation against heat transfer, helping to keep the room cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. This can lead to energy savings and increased comfort throughout the year.
  • Durability: High-quality shutters are durable and long-lasting, with materials that resist warping, cracking, and fading over time. Proper maintenance, such as periodic cleaning and sealing, can help prolong the life of shutters and keep them looking their best.
  • Customization: Shutters can be customized to fit windows of various shapes and sizes, including specialty shapes like arches and circles. They are available in a wide range of colors, finishes, and hardware options to complement any décor style.

LOUVER SIZES

2 1/2 INCH LOUVERS

Plantation shutters are an excellent option not only for windows but also for doors and room dividers. Their narrower louver width offers increased privacy when open, ideal for areas with frequent foot traffic. When the louvers are closed, they provide complete privacy.

3 1/2 INCH LOUVERS

Ideal for windows with scenic views and a need for privacy, these shutters strike the perfect balance. Their medium-width louvers offer enhanced visibility compared to smaller options, providing a clearer view while maintaining privacy. When closed, the louvers ensure complete privacy.

4 1/2 INCH LOUVERS

Exuding elegance, these shutters make a striking statement in any room. With significantly increased visibility compared to 2-1/2″ shutters, they offer a clear view when open. Despite this openness, complete privacy can still be achieved when the louvers are closed.

CONTROL OPTIONS

TILT BAR

STANDARD TILT BAR

The tilt bar, positioned at the front center of each shutter panel, ensures a tight and uniform closure of all louvers simultaneously. This classic design is prevalent in homes with traditional decor, offering a timeless aesthetic appeal.
