Elevate Your Custom Shutters
If operable louver shutters have captured your interest, wait until you explore all the ways to make your exterior shutters truly unique in every way. From shutter configurations to optional tilt rods, mouse holes, capping options, and more, the possibilities are nearly endless.
Shutter Configurations
The placement of shutter rails determine the shutter configuration and creates a very distinctive look. Configurations are typically referred to as a percentage of the total length of the shutter to allow for complete creative freedom.
Radius Tops for Arched Windows
Radius Tops allow shutters to properly fit arched windows. We offer a variety of complementary radius-top shutters, always built to perfectly mirror your window shape. If that isn’t enough, we will gladly customize one for you!
Tilt Rods & Mouse Holes
Tilt rods are used on operable louvers to open and close the louvers. A mouse hole is a notch that houses the bottom of the tilt rod when closed. For those who don't have operable louvers, these elements can be added for decoration to fixed louver shutters.
Shutter Capping
Capping prevents water from collecting on top of the shutter and seeping down into the joint where it could compromise the shutter. Upgrade to copper capping to really enhance the overall look of your shutters.
Rabbeting & Beading
Overlap rabbeting allows for functional shutters to overlap when closed. This treatment is frequently requested to provide an added degree of historical detail. Beading is a decorative touch to add character.
