The paint colors available are almost limitless. Select from any one of Sherwin Williams’ nearly 2000 colors.

ShutterLand exterior shutters are sold in three styles. Louvered exterior shutters are constructed with fixed louvers in one of three sizes (1.25″, 1.75″, or 2.25″). Raised panel exterior shutters used tapered solid inserts. Combination exterior shutters are constructed with louvers above the divider rail and a raised panel below. All shutters are manufactured from kiln-dried solid cedar.

Production time is typically about ten working days for construction with an additional five working days for painting. Outside shutters can be purchased unfinished to paint or stain after they are received. After an order is complete the exterior shutters ship from the manufacturing facility in Los Angeles.

The paint used is an exterior grade enamel sprayed in three separate applications. The result is a thick, durable, smooth finish.

ShutterLand’s prices for wood exterior shutters are reasonable. In fact, they encourage homeowners to research exterior shutters – comparing materials, construction, options, overall quality and price.
