Board and Batten Shutters

 Board and Batten cedar exterior shutters are a timeless design that reflect classic Ranch or Mediterranean architecture. Constructed from 1" thick custom sized boards, each shutter features hand selected lumbers for straightness and are assembled using glue and nails to join the battens to the boards. This time tested construction method is further enhanced by the use of Franklin type 3, water proof exterior glue. Incense Cedar, one of many lumbers available, a naturally decay-resistant wood, is straight and light in weight and is ideal in fabricating this type of shutter which tends to be heavier than louvered shutters.

All boards are available standard as 1" thick (7/8", 1 1/8" are also available)

Tight together or spaced boards

Custom board widths are available

2 batten,  3 batten, Z batten available

Bahama Shutters refers to a type of exterior shutter that is different from normal exterior shutters based on its mounting position. First, it is usually the full width of the window and it's length can vary  from the full height of the window, be as short as 18", or anywhere in between. It is mounted on a pivoting top hinge so that the shutter can tilted from  being perpendicular to the structure, all the way down to parallel to the window, but mostly somewhere inbetween. It's name derives from the Bahamas due to its popularity there. They are sometimes also called Bermuda or Hurricane Shutters.

Tilt Rod vs. Clearview:

Never before have there been so many options available to customers when making the decision to have custom made shutters installed in their homes. Of these options the most frequently requested is the choice of using the timeless design of shutters with a TILT ROD, or the CLEARVIEW design which provides an unobstructed view thru the louvers providing a more transparent view of the outdoors.
