Shutters

A definite designer classic, shutters are a timeless way to add drama and elegance to any room. Materials such as Wood, Fauxwood, & PVC are used to produce distinctive slat profiles that offer natural beauty and enhance any décor.

When determining how to treat a window, (or multiple windows), there are numerous configurations that can be used, from bi-fold to bi-pass, café style to double hung, and one way stack or center split. One thing for sure; there is more than one solution even when addressing challenging windows such as angles or arches. Large windows can be treated by using multiple hinged panels whereas bi-pass track systems are ideal for patio doors. If both privacy and natural light are desired, panels can be split into upper and lower sections by way of a mid rail, thereby permitting the top section to be opened bringing in light while closing the lower section for total privacy. Garden doors can also be treated easily by adding a frame around the perimeter of the shutter to project past obstructions and door handles.
