We Make the Best Shutters
Natural beauty and outstanding physical properties
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.
- All wood Premium Grade and is Kiln-dried and water-sealed for moisture control.
- The shutter joints between stiles and rails are not only doweled and glued for strength and durability but we also use unique fastener system that 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.

LDF (Low Density Fiberboard)
Our most eco-friendly product because no trees at all have been cut down to make this product. A laminated veneered lumber core is laminated together with epoxy making a light, strong core which is then given a polymer sealed outer coating.
Basswood
Otherwise known as the American Linden, the wood is pale brown, clear of knots and does not split easily.
Parasol Wood
A large evergreen tree that can grow up to 80m tall. It is one of the most important timbers used in the timber industry.
Western Red Cedar
Renowned for its natural beauty and outstanding physical properties, this exceptional beautiful wood has a uniform, fine ground texture with a satin lustre.
