An Exterior Wood Shutter To Add An Historical Touch

Exterior wood shutters are available for renovators with an interest in historical reproductions and contemporary good looks. Outdoor window shutters can be both decorative and useful for home security and protection against hurricanes.

Choose a traditional colonial or plantation style with louvers that are either fixed or operable. Board and batten and raised panel designs are also popular.

Cedar wood and outdoor living

Wood exterior shutters manufactured from kiln dried cedar are durable, resistant to decay and insects and are dimensionally stable. They will handle temperature and humidity fluctuations without warping or shrinking away from fasteners. Components such as stiles and louvers are milled to standard or custom sizes.

Top and bottom rails vary from 3 to 4 inches with an optional divider rail that divide panels in equal halves or unequal parts. Vertical stiles are about 2" wide and are glued and doweled on one inch centers for durability and strength.

DIY shutter finishing

A premium quality wood exterior shutter from reliable manufacturers may be ordered unfinished and ready to stain or paint, or finished in a variety of colors to match the outside of the house.
