Wooden options bring a charming, traditional feel to French country cottages and Victorian revivals. Optional upgrades like arched tops, diamond cut-outs and custom carvings mean that your house will stand out on the block. Personalize away with kiln-dried timber species like teak, mahogany, reclaimed barn wood, redwood and Western Red Cedar.

What were house shutters used for historically?
Swinging shutters were originally designed to protect the home from wind and weather. Before the advent of exterior glass windows, wooden or iron screens, which were operated from the interior, would keep out unwanted heat, pests, wind, rain, snow or intruders. Oftentimes homes would use raised panel or board and batten style on the lower level windows for security, and louvered style for air circulation near the bedrooms on the upper windows. More recently they have become more of a necessity in hurricane prone areas such as the south where new building codes are requiring either high impact-rated safety glass or hurricane rated storm-specific designs. With glass windows in tropical zones, you can never be too safe - we also offer hurricane units that meet Dade County's (Florida) rigid requirements. Bahama panels and Bahama-style hardware kits make installation easy and secure.
