Exterior Wooden Window Shutters

Elegant Craftsmanship from Shutters and More

Shutters and More exterior wood window shutters are designed to deliver a lifetime of elegant, maintenance-free products at affordable, low, and competitive prices. Our shutters bring an ideal accent and additional dimension to your home.

Because we are a shutter manufacturer — proudly built in Southern California, U.S.A. — our custom wood shutters offer virtually unlimited possibilities to express your home’s unique style, as we will handcraft them to your exact specifications. You are limited only by your imagination. Your taste and how you feel about your home’s look guides you in your choice of shutter style.

Our solid wood exterior shutters are made from solid, kiln-dried and rot-resistant incense cedar or western red cedar, which is a very durable wood requiring little-to-no maintenance as its resistant to decay. Other woods used for making shutters, such as pine or poplar, do not enjoy such an advantage. Kiln drying is time-consuming and expensive, but it is important because it reduces the moisture content, therefore, allowing less expansion and contraction, while enhancing durability and acceptance of finishes.

Each shutter panel is hand assembled and individually built on site in our Southern California Facility. While we do not finish or install exterior window shutters ourselves, we sand each one by hand — ensuring a smooth surface ready for finishing — once they are assembled. Once assembled and sanded, we deliver the wood shutters to you regardless of where you live in the United States, ready for proper paint, stain, or primer.

Because we have been around since 1966, we have come across just about every type of custom job or situation, and have a solution for you. Our goal is to make your exterior shutter purchase a positive experience because it is likely to be a once-in-a-lifetime event.

Exterior Raised Panel Window Shutters

The raised panel shutter is very popular as it adds depth and dimension to the exterior of the building. They offer a handsome, classic look for Georgian, Eclectic, and Cottage style homes. They are constructed with a top rail, bottom rail, and two side styles. All stiles will be 2” x 1-1/8”. The inside raised panel is beveled on all four sides, which is inserted into a routed channel in the stiles and rails. A divider rail can also be inserted to create multiple raised panels within the shutter. The raised panels for the narrow shutters are made from the same cedar as the stiles and rails, however, wider panels are usually made from MDF, which weathers well, but can only be painted, not stained.

Learn more about raised panel window shutters, contact us with questions, or if you want to order them today, measure your window height and width and let us know whether or not you want a divider rail, as well as whether or not you plan on staining or painting them later.

Board and Batten Panel Exterior Shutters

The hearty Board and Batten wood window shutters are traditionally used on barns, but they are a magnificent choice no matter where your house is located. Choose either “open” or “closed” boards, and give your house a hint of rustic elegance. With their bold dimension and solid strength, the board and batten styles are classic standards for French Country, Cottage, and Spanish style homes. They are frequently used on single-story homes, barns, and cottages because they provide a picture-esque country look. These shutters are constructed using wide or narrow plank vertical boards, with horizontal cross members called battens. The vertical boards are positioned side-by-side to create the desired width and can be tightly positioned (closed) or with a 3/8” gap between board (open).

If you are interested in ordering Board and Batten panel shutters, send us your desired height and width, and select your choice of an “open board” or a “closed board” panel design.

Exterior Bahama or Bermuda Style Panel Shutters

Bahama or Bermuda styled panels were originally designed for the tropics. They are often used for sun screening and moderate storm protection because one shutter panel will usually cover the entire window. These shutters are hinged at the top of the window, open from the bottom, and can be propped open with a support arm for visibility, which in turn blocks out the intense UV sunlight that can damage the integrity of your home’s interior while also allowing the soft ambient light and refreshing breezes to pass through. They feature beautiful functionality and authentic Caribbean style with a touch of quaint tropical charm.

If you are interested in ordering Bahama or Bermuda style panel shutters, contact us with the necessary height and width dimensions, as well as the exact size louver you would like out of the three available sizes.

Pick up, Delivery, and Shipping: (Nationwide Shipping)

We will call you as soon as your order is ready, and you will have three ways to get your order:

Shipping Details

We are proud of our shipping history. We can ship our exterior shutters nationwide right to your house. Standard Size panels usually ship within four to five weeks. Standard size orders are shipped by UPS ground or FedEx ground. The packing and shipping charge is 8.5% of the order total cost (minimum $20.00). Oversized panels require a higher than standard shipping charge.

You can expect our high quality and service in your purchase, and we encourage you to inspect your shipment upon receipt.

Once you receive your shutters, examine your purchase and double check that we have met your expectations. Upon inspection, you will notice an exceptional product, and you will be ready to install your shutters yourself.

Exterior Wood Shutter Installation

The panels should not be attached flush with the exterior wall, since moisture can be trapped behind the panels. The shutters should be screwed or lagged to the exterior surface of the house with rust-proof screws. Pre-drill and countersink all screw holes and attach a rubber washer between the back of the shutter and the building so as to allow the water and ventilation to pass between the shutter and the exterior surface of the house. Fill the screw holes with wood filler or calking, and touch up paint as required.

These simple instructions explain everything you need to know to install your shutters yourself and to enjoy your new shutters without the need to hire someone to help you install them. You are easily turned into an installation professional, but we’re still here to help if you need us. To protect your shutters, we will also send you a free exterior shutter cap to protect them from moisture. It is made of bonderized aluminum that can be painted. To attach the cap protector, just add a bead of calk to the top of the panel and squeeze the cap on (no screws or nails).

How to Measure Your Window Shutter Sizes

Whatever style you choose, correctly sizing the shutter to your window is critical! We will build your shutters to your exact specifications, so make sure your measurements are accurate. Whether your shutters will be functional or not, size them as if they would be. Measure the window on the inside edge of the casement, as if the shutters would be closed. This measurement is the “pair width” (equal to twice the width of one shutter). If your shutters will be functional, deduct approximately 1/2″ for clearance. If your shutters will remain open at all times, rounding off to the closest inch is acceptable.

First, measure the window width. Then divide the window measurement in half to determine the approximate width size of each shutter panel. Then measure the height, which is the full height of the window opening.

Most exterior shutters are fixed in place, are non functional, and screwed directly to the sides of the window opening. They will not close, but they will add depth and character to your home’s appearance. They can be fully operable and functional with the use of exterior hardware.

Note: For non-functional panels that will be fixed to the wall, an exact size is not necessary, however, with functional panels, the panel size is critical and it may be easier to order the panels slightly larger and trim them on-site for a perfect fit. You can trim one inch from the bottom rail and 7/16” from each side stile. Should you need any guidance, we’ve provided some helpful ideas and information about custom designed shutters, how to decide on certain specifications of custom wood shutters, and how to install shutters. Our shutter professionals are always available to discuss any questions you may have. The finest, handmade wooden shutters in the world are just a phone call away.
