Materials & Construction
Our custom shutters combine artisan-style decorative framing with the structural benefits of high-grade vinyl.

- Reinforced Strength: Aluminum inserts are added to louvers for extra support at 20" intervals when required by panel width.
- Light Control: These interior shutters are room darkening; however, expect light-lines of up to 1/16" due to standard manufacturing tolerances.
- Framing Versatility: Choose from 3-Sided, 4-Sided, or 4-Sided with Sill frames to match your specific window depth and trim.
- Decorative Hardware: Available with Brass, Stainless Steel, or Painted hinges that are color-matched for a seamless look.
Frame Styles
Ensure your plantation shutters have a professional, integrated look by choosing the correct frame style for your windows.
- L-Frame: The go-to choice for outside mount applications or square inside mounts.
- Casing Frame: Adds a decorative architectural border to windows that lack trim, mounting directly to the wall.
- Bullnose Z-Frame: A favorite for inside mounts, featuring rounded edges that transition smoothly into drywall returns.

- Two Panels (Left and Right): Classic symmetry with panels that open from the center and hinge to each side.
- Four Panels: Ideal for large window spans, featuring two pairs of panels that can fold or open to either side (may include a center T-Post for support).
How it Operates
Select the tilt mechanism that fits your style, from traditional charm to modern minimalism.
- Front Tilt: Features the classic shutters look with a visible tilt-bar centered on the front of the panel.

Shutter Panel Components
- Structural Reinforcement: Vertical jambs (stiles) include molded or aluminum inserts to provide additional support and strength.
- Horizontal Rails: Every panel is engineered with a Top Rail and a Bottom Rail for complete structural integrity.
- Louver Design: Panels use Elliptical Louvers to manage light and visibility.
- Internal Strength: Aluminum inserts are added to louvers for reinforcement at 20" intervals when required by the width of the treatment.
- Panel Closure: This unique system eliminates the use of magnets. When panels are closed, a spring-loaded plunger with roller acts as a ball catch to hold the panels in the closed position..
Tilt & Operation Systems
- Front Tilt Bar: This traditional system uses a visible tilt bar attached to the front of the louvers with cufflinks and caps for manual operation.
- Hidden Gear System: A clean, modern operation where the gear assembly is located entirely inside the vertical jamb, removing the need for visible tilt rods.
Divider Rail Specifications
- Divider Rail Function: These rails separate top and bottom louver sections within a single panel, allowing for independent light control.
- Regular Divider Rail: A standard profile used for structural stability and light management.
