Interior & Exterior Window Shutters
Shutters are similar to blinds in that they are made up of slat-like pieces of material (called louvers). Unlike blinds, however, both useable and decorative shutters are primarily made from wood and use a tilt bar for light and air filtration. Both exterior window shutters and indoor shutters add loads of personality to the area. The classic style colonial shutters are cheerful and fun, bringing light and air into your home on several levels. Cedar shutters are popular for their rustic beauty and charm, though faux wood shutters are quickly gaining recognition as well. Single or multi-paneled, hinge style, and length are all flexible to personal preferences.
Full-Length (plantation style)- These shutters are popular for tall or extra wide windows facing the sun and even serve nicely as a porch door or the like. Shutters allow the light and air in during the sunny hours, and block the light at night.
Café Style Shutters- Café style shutters are a unique style of window covering that only shields the lower half of a window. These decorative window shutters get their name from the old time French café’s that needed to maximize lighting while still maintaining a comfortable level of privacy for their patrons. Café style shutters come in a variety of lengths and widths.
Tier-On-Tier Shutters- This style consists of two independent rows of shutters, one on top of the next. The reason for this is to allow each tier to work independent of one another. So if you want one half of the window covered and the other shaded, this is an excellent choice for you.
Solid Shutters- Solid shutters are the most basic form of shutters. These are door-length solid panels of wood that are hinged to one another and lock tightly shut. This can be used as a security measure or just to keep children or pets in.
Exterior Window Shutters- Because of their picturesque nature, shutters have been used as purely decorative items on the outside of people’s homes. Painted and styled to match with a house’s pre-existing décor, exterior window shutters infuse a home front with personality and Southern appeal.
