Board and Batten Exterior Shutters
![]() | Tweet |
Board and batten shutters exude elegance by way of simplicity. Similar to wainscoting in interior design, board and batten exterior shutters feature vertically running planks that are then battened by horizontal boards. The look is reminiscent of various architectural styles including that of distinguished Northeastern brownstones and also windswept coastal beach cottages.
At Hooks and Lattice, batten & board shutters are manufactured and supplied in cedar wood, composite and vinyl. Depending on the personality of a home and its owner, different materials suit different functions. For the classic look, cedar board and batten shutters are timeless and authentic. And where a lower maintenance alternative to wood is preferable, composite and vinyl present a carefree, long-lasting option. Some batten & board shutters also come in various colors.

With batten & board shutters, an explanation of their structure is all in the name: horizontal battens are banded across varying numbers of vertically running boards. In this assortment, board and batten shutters are offered in diverse styles that feature different configurations of planks. For example, one shutter pair may feature four boards and two battens, while another is made up of three boards and three battens. Different combinations are suited to distinctive design tastes.
Board and batten exterior shutters are categorized by material including cedar wood, composite, painted composite and vinyl. Hooks and Lattice is the manufacturer of some products and a supplier of others. For products we manufacture, in wood and composite, options for custom batten & board shutters are various. We also work with suppliers on a range of custom requests, mostly for different shutter length measurements.
In both vintage and contemporary homes, board and batten shutters are right at home. In a traditional Tudor with wainscoting and crown molding on the interior, board-n-battens make appropriate exterior window dressings that provide consistent sophistication from outside to inside. Or in a casual Cape Cod-style cottage, board and batten exterior shutters have an air of easy refinement – not too serious, but elegantly purposeful. Although most shutters are sold standard for decorative mounts, hardware and accessories are available to make working shutters.
Depending on the desired material, batten & board shutters come with different options including size, silhouette and paint colors. For windows situated under semi-circle alcoves, arch-top board and batten shutters are a popular choice to enhance rounded architectural elements.
