Step 1: Functional or Decorative Shutters?

Functional:

Originally, shutters were used to protect homes from the weather and intruders. Today, function is no longer a necessity thanks to glass window panes. But if you want that added protection, functional exterior shutters are a perfect way to add curb appeal and old-world functionality.

Decorative:

If you’re looking for the authentic look but want them to be as maintenance free as possible, decorative shutters are for you! With the proper size, placement and hardware, no one will be able to tell they are faux shutters. Or if you simply want to add curb appeal and accentuate your windows, direct mount shutters are an excellent option as well.

Step 2: Measure Your Windows for Exterior Shutters?

Functional:

• When measuring for functional shutters, the measurements need to be precise as to close over the window correctly
• If your windows have a large offset or you want your shutters to overlap, take those measurements into consideration as well
• Exterior Shutter Width = Window Width ÷ 2

Decorative:

• When it comes to measuring for decorative shutters, it is really a personal preference since you don’t need to worry about closing them over the window • Height of Window = Height of Shutters

Step 3: Styles of Shutters

Louvered

warm, natural look with timeless appeal
unique grain patterns and natural marks
easily mixes with other materials
premium grade and sourced from carefully managed U.S. forests
