Even though shutters might not be the design or the window solution you need, shutters are simply one of the most beautiful and traditional ways to enhance any window. This incredible architectural design has impressed our aesthetic needs for centuries. The ancient Greeks are credited with the invention of shutters, but the fixed louvers were then made of marble \u2013 a stunning material, but not very practical, even though the marble fixed louvers did provide light control, ventilation and protection, way back then. As the popularity of shutters spread throughout the Mediterranean, wood replaced the marble slats and movable louvers were used for adjusting the air and light. During the 15th Century, interior shutters moved inside as Spain began to colonize the New World and shutters arrived in our American houses. The American South, with its elegant and large colonial mansions, elevated shutters as iconic window treatments that were always painted white and accented with wide louvers for visual effect. However, it wasn&#8217;t until the 1980&#8217;s, that the Plantation Shutter, as we know it today, with operable large louvers that rotate to open or close, were popularized. Today, we just say <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/products.asp?id=shutters\/window-blinds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;Yes, shutters, please cover my windows.&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12265\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12265\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12265 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Shutter1.jpg\" alt=\"Source: Blindsgalore Shutters\" width=\"600\" data-first-enter-image=\"true\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12265\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Blindsgalore Shutters<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>What Are Shutters<\/h4>\n<p>Shutters are solid and rigid window treatments that are set within a structural framework and are composed of horizontal, flat vanes (fixed or movable), attached at the top, center and bottom of the framework. Most shutters are hinged on either side of the window opening, to swing inward for more flexibility in light and air management. Shutters can be designed as a single unit to cover the window or can be customized into multiple sections to allow different areas of the window to be open or closed independently. You can mount shutters as an inside mount or as an outside mount. Cafe shutters only cover the bottom part of the window area. Full length shutters are available for doors and windows of all shapes and sizes \u2013 the possibilities are endless. Shutters do provide ultimate privacy, flexible light control, security and add value and style to your home. For many people, shutters are just the supreme choice for their windows. Shutters never go out of style and blend into every decorating theme.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12266\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12266\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12266 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Shutter2.jpg\" alt=\"Source: Faux Wood Shutters from Blindsgalore\" width=\"600\" height=\"247\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12266\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/faux-wood-shutters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Faux Wood Shutters from Blindsgalore<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>Wood Shutters<\/h4>\n<p>Originally, shutters were fashioned from wood as woodworkers in America honed this craft to an art, but now many new materials are available to create many choices for quality shutters. Wood shutters are still perceived as the winner of the blue ribbon. Wood shutters are the luxurious selection for the classic look and feel of the rich grain of wood and the durability and beautiful look of wood. Traditional white stains through the neutrals and dark wood glazes will complement the look you want to achieve. Wood does require more care as it tends to warp in high moisture areas and is easily chipped or scratched. If you love the true look of wood shutters and can&#8217;t imagine anything else but the lovely patina and the substantial look and feel of wood, this is the choice for you.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12264\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12264\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12264 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Plantation-wood-shutters-are-the-luxurious-selection-for-the-classic-look.png\" alt=\"Source: Gator Shutter\" width=\"600\" height=\"857\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Plantation-wood-shutters-are-the-luxurious-selection-for-the-classic-look.png 600w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Plantation-wood-shutters-are-the-luxurious-selection-for-the-classic-look-210x300.png 210w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12264\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gatorshutter.com\/images\/Normany%20Shutters%2001.jpg\" rel=\"mfp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Gator Shutter<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>Composite Wood Shutters<\/h4>\n<p>Composite wood shutters give you the best of both worlds.
