We Make the Best Shutters

Our wood plantation shutters are made with the same craftsmanship and attention to detail as that used in the production of fine wood furniture. Each component of every panel is custom designed for optimal appearance, function, and fit.

The highest level of craftmanship

• All wood is Kiln-dried and water-sealed for moisture control: preventing the likelyhood of warping/twisting.
• The shutters are manufactured using mortise and tenon joints. This provides every shutter with a more secure construction preventing paint cracking at the joints and preventing any movement in the panel over time.
• The Louvers/slats are attached to the tilt bar with non-corroding, glue-coated staples.
• All shutters have an advanced louver tension system which allows you to have full control of how loose or tight you want the louvers to be.
• All precision tools and machinery that are used to make our shutters are calibrated and adjusted often to assure that tolerances are correct and each component part of every shutter fits exactly.
• Quality control inspections are made at each assembly point (After cutting and trimming the wood, before painting/staining, before assembly and a final inspection before packing).
• All our shutters are sanded a total of 6 times to achieve a quality finish.
• Our stained shutters are sanded, hand dipped, hand rubbed, sealed, sanded, and protected with two clear top coats (including a UV protector to eliminate fading).
• Our painted shutters are sealed, sanded, primed, re-sanded, and covered with two satin finish top coats and 2 coats of UV paint.
• Our shutters are allowed to dry for a minimum of 48 hours before further handling.
• Finally, individual shutters are assembled into complete units with all hardware and frames attached. This ensures complete reassurance that the shutters will fit your windows or doors perfectly.
• Following the final inspection, shutters are wrapped in cellophane to protect the finish and carefully packed with foam into reinforced cartons for shipping.

My wife and I were amazed by the quality of Premier's shutter and we know that they are constantly striving to improve their quality and production processes.
