Window Treatments
Shutters
Shutters are solid window coverings with adjustable louvers mounted in frames, providing a permanent architectural element that adds value and character to homes. Unlike soft treatments that hang from hardware, shutters are installed as part of the window structure itself, becoming lasting fixtures.
Interior shutters offer excellent light and privacy control while adding timeless elegance. Their substantial construction provides insulation and durability that fabric treatments cannot match. While a significant investment, quality shutters often increase home value.

Placement & Usage Tips
Shutters work best on windows that do not need to be fully cleared—the frames remain visible even when open. Consider louver size based on view and style—larger louvers feel more modern.
💡 Pro Tip
Custom shutters are measured in fractions of inches—professional measurement is essential. Even slight errors can make shutters impossible to install or operate properly.
