Wood shutters are an investment in your home that adds an unmistakable sense of style and tradition in the appropriate setting.  They are available in both paint and stain finishes and feature many options such as louver size, framing and other details that can be tailored to your needs and preference. Decisions regarding how and where to mount can be critical with shutters since they ideally become truly a part of your window.  Care must also be taken to avoid any interferences, such as with the tilt-in sashes that are a common feature on many newer windows. Beyond what the manufacturers provide, I have some pretty unique approaches that often entail very custom, and sometimes very narrow, hanging strips which I frequently hand plane onsite in order to achieve the best fit that I possibly can.  Whether it is throughout the house, or just in a key room or two, shutters add a particular beauty and distinction to your home’s interior and exterior as well.
