Posted on February 23, 2012 by All About Shutters

Interior shutters can be purchased as stock size shutter panels or as custom shutter units. There are many benefits to purchasing custom shutters versus the alternative. Fit: Custom shutters are crafted from raw material to the 1/16″ of an inch for each individual window opening. An interior shutter unit manufactured to such close tolerances will insure the best overall fit. Standard size shutter panels are made in fixed sizes and usually post-production trimming to fit the window.

Moon Exterior Shutter Cutout

Posted on September 9, 2011 by All About Shutters

We found these exterior shutters at a local salvage yard. This particular design is not one I would recommend. The crescent moon cutout has long been the symbol for an outhouse.
