Q: What are your shutters made of
A: Our shutters are manufactured from Western Red Alder, a preferable hardwood chosen by many fine furniture manufacturers for structural stability and beauty. Because Alder has an even grain characteristic it allows for matching a variety of quality hardwoods, such as Maple, Cherry, and Birch.
Q: What louver sizes are available?
A: In our plantation style of louver (Broadview series), we offer 1-7/8", 2-1/2", 3-1/2", 4-1/2", and 5-1/2" louver widths. Our traditional series louver is 1-1/4"
Q: Do you make special shapes, such as fan tops, slant tops, etc?
A: We have the capability of making any irregular shape including arches, fan tops, elongated shapes, octagons, and circles. As a special service to assist our customers we can finish a CAD drawing of what a special shaped shutter will look like in the window opening and detail how many louvers would be moveable.
