A premium hardwood shutter brings a sense of timeless elegance to any home. Whether achieving a modern look through straight louver designs and hand rubbed custom paints or a traditional style with hand carved details and a sandbrushed finish, this product is designed for longevity.

Functional shutters add energy efficiency that reduces drafts and saves on HVAC costs. They can also improve home value.

Aesthetics

In addition to their functional benefits, custom shutters are a standout aesthetic feature for any room. They’re available in a range of styles, finishes, and colors that can complement or contrast with your window trim. You can even select from a number of louver size options, from narrower slats for a charming traditional look to larger slats for a crisp modern appearance. Decorative frames are another way to add visual interest to your shutters and they come in designs from ornate beveling to sleek outlines.

The material of your shutters is also a vital factor in their visual appeal. Solid woods like cedar, cypress, and poplar offer beautiful authentic wood grains, natural tannins that respond well to staining, and a timeless aesthetic. They also provide superior durability and weather resistance. However, they involve a higher price tag and require frequent refinishing to maintain their beauty.

A more budget-friendly option is a composite or poly shutter, which features a blend of synthetic materials and milled wood fibers or particles. They better replicate the visual depth and texture of natural woods, have greater durability and stability, are less susceptible to moisture, and can withstand harsher weather conditions.

After selecting a manufacturing material, the next step is to choose a color for your custom shutters. Staining or painting your shutters is a great way to harmonize their appearance with your home’s existing color scheme. Big-name brands often offer a wide selection of predetermined colors and can create a custom paint formula for your specific project. Paint and stain matching has never been easier thanks to advancements in technology.

Light Control

Custom shutters come in a variety of styles to complement any decor. You can choose narrower slats for a more traditional look or larger slats for a crisp, modern appearance. You can also opt for a custom color to match your home. You can also select from different operating systems, including a rear tilt rod that’s hidden on the back side of the shutter panel to eliminate an interruption in the view.

Privacy

Custom shutters provide precise control over natural light and privacy. Their adjustable louvers allow you to maintain your view of the outdoors while keeping others from seeing into your home. This level of customization makes them an ideal window treatment for street-level windows or rooms that require a high degree of privacy.

The materials and finishes used to create your custom shutters play a critical role in their durability and appearance. Wood, poly and composite shutters each have unique benefits that make them suitable for different environments. Wood provides a timeless aesthetic, while poly balances affordability with durability. Composite shutters are a great option for homes with young children and pets, as they are resistant to scratching, staining and fading.

Once you have determined which material to use for your custom shutters, you can select from a variety of louver styles and configurations. Flat louvers offer a clean and streamlined look, while elliptical louvers add a touch of elegance and sophistication to your space. For a bold design statement, consider choosing a colored or stained shutter. Custom shutters that match the color of your window frame create a seamless and integrated look, while neutral tones complement most interior design styles.

In addition to their durability and style, custom shutters can enhance your property value and improve your energy efficiency. When tightly fitted into your window frames, these window treatments provide an effective layer of insulation, helping to reduce heating and cooling costs. A well-crafted, quality wood or poly shutter also helps to block unpleasant drafts, further reducing your monthly utility bills. In addition, a professional installation ensures proper fit and function, maximizing longevity and minimizing the need for future repairs.

Energy Efficiency

As a thicker material than blinds, shutters offer an added layer of insulation, helping to keep your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter. This energy efficiency makes them a great investment that can help reduce your utility bills and contribute to a more eco-friendly environment.

Whether you choose poly or real wood shutters, we provide options for every style and budget. Our Salem Wood shutters offer a classic look and superior construction with solid poplar wood. These custom interior shutters can be stained to match your existing decor. Upgrade your look with a decorative frame or choose from our hidden tilt rod design that allows you to control the slat angles with an invisible rod. We also offer a split tilt upgrade that allows you to separate the controls into two sections, ideal for tall windows.

You can further increase your energy savings with our Polywood shutters, which have been engineered as insulating window treatments. They use patented weatherstripping and a chemically-bonded outer coating to block external temperatures that would enter through your windows. The result is a significantly higher R-value and reduced cooling costs for your home.

The slats can be closed to block out direct sunlight during the hottest times of the day and to prevent glare, which helps keep your home cooler. During the evening and into the night, you can open them to allow natural light into your room while still maintaining privacy.

Shutters are an excellent choice for specialty-shaped windows that leave homeowners looking for solutions to cover them. They can be custom crafted to fit arches, angles, and bay windows. They can also be framed by decorative molding to enhance their appearance and add to your home’s curb appeal.

Maintenance

Unlike stock window treatments that are manufactured to fit a limited number of standardized sizes, custom shutters are built to precisely match each home. This ensures a flawless installation that delivers optimal beauty and performance. Designed with high-quality materials, custom shutters are resistant to wear and tear. They are also straightforward to clean and maintain, requiring only occasional dusting or wiping. This helps them to maintain their pristine appearance and extend their lifespan.

Shutters add timeless beauty to homes, harmonizing with a variety of décor styles from classic to contemporary. In a city like Kansas City, where architectural styles vary greatly, interior shutters provide a unifying element that elevates living spaces and enhances the unique characteristics of each home.

In addition to their timeless style and elegance, custom shutters can also increase a home’s resale value. Potential buyers will be attracted to the wide range of benefits they offer, such as light control and privacy. In addition, they can help homeowners save energy by lowering their electricity bills and protecting furnishings from the sun’s damaging UV rays.

Another benefit of shutters is their versatility. They can be used on a variety of windows, including sliding doors and bay windows. In addition, they can be fitted with midrails that allow you to tilt the louvers on top and bottom independently. This provides the ultimate customization for your home and can give you the ability to enjoy a beautiful view, full sunlight or filtered light depending on the mood or time of day.

When it comes to choosing a window treatment, the options can be overwhelming for home owners. With the help of their dealer, they can easily narrow down their choices and find the perfect shutters for their unique needs. By offering detailed information about different styles and their suitability for different rooms, dealers can help home owners make informed decisions that will improve the aesthetics of their living spaces and maximize their energy efficiency.
