  Faux Tilt Bar

  A tilt bar is a narrow vertical wood rod that interconnects a group of horizontal louvers. A tilt bar used in conjunction with movable louvers unifies the slats and allows them to rotate at one time. Louvers on ShutterLand premium wood louvers are fixed in position and do not rotate. A faux tilt bar can be attached to replicate the appearance of movable louvers, usually for historical purposes. Selection of a tilt bar adds $38 to the price of each shutter.

  Most exterior shutter applications do not require a tilt bar.

• 

  Faux Tilt Bar - Shutter With a Divider Rail

  If a divider rail is employed, the tilt bar can be added to all louver sections or only added to one section.

  After incorporating a tilt bar, it is necessary to establish if the tilt bar will be applied to all louvers and if the louvers will be in an up or down position.

• 

  Faux Tilt Bar - Louvers Down

  The tilt bar can be attached on the side of the shutter with the louvers in a down position.

• 

  Faux Tilt Bar - Louvers Up

  The tilt bar can be attached on the side of the shutter with the louvers in an up position.

• 

  Red Grandis

  Red Grandis is a nearly perfect high quality hardwood to manufacture exceptional exterior shutters. It has straight tight grain and minimal knotting, resulting in a consistently smooth texture. The fibers are relatively uniform in color with variations from light pink to dark red, and accept paint or stain well. Red Grandis is dimensionally stable and extremely strong.

• 

  Cedar

  Cedar is the most common and recognizable tree species for the construction of outdoor shutters. This aromatic timber is resistant to both insects and decay. Cedar has condensed grain with few knots, resulting in straight handsome shutters with tones of red, brown, and tan. Cedar paints and stain well.

• 

  Mahogany

  Mahogany has a compact grain with a rich, warm, reddish-brown hue. Mahogany shutters are strong, sturdy, and moisture resistant. Mahogany is relatively easy to finish and is heavier than other woods offered.

  Southern Yellow Pine

  Southern Yellow Pine is the most affordable solid wood option. This wood has a beautiful golden color with a distinct wood grain pattern that is 99.9% knot free.  It is kiln-dried to minimum moisture content and cut to 1″ thick shutters. The joints between stiles and rails are glued, doweled, and screwed for ultimate strength.

  Southern Yellow Pine shutters are considered entry-level, or builder grade, with lower performance standards compared to 1.5″ thick premium wood shutters.

• 

  Faux Tilt Bar - Louvers Down

  Louvers can positioned in a down position.

  This position is recommended because the louvers shed moisture.

• 

  Faux Tilt Bar - Louvers Up

  Louvers can positioned in a up position. This is not a standard option and can ordered only by special request.

  Up oriented louvers are not recommend because there is no space between the louvers resulting in a potential for water to reside in the grooves which may shorten the lifespan of the shutters.

   

• 

  Composite Shutters

  ShutterLand composite shutters are constructed from Extira. The material is manufactured from sustainable wood fibers and marine-grade resins to form large 1.25″ thick solid straight sheets. Individual components are then milled and fabricated into custom shutters. Extira is designed for outdoor applications where humidity and moisture varies. It is strong and resilient with a long projected life.

  Vinyl Shutters

  Vinyl shutters in the 19 standard colors are constructed from Polypropylene. The color is molded through the material and shutters arrive ready to install. Polypropylene cannot be painted. The paintable finish shutters are fabricated from Polystyrene and are translucent opal in color.

  All vinyl shutters have a wood grain textured surface. Vinyl shutters are constructed in the form of a shell, with four sides, a front and a hollow back. The panels can feel flimsy right out of the box and may not have the rigidity one expects from wood or composite shutters. They gain great strength and stability when they are attached to the building.

  Vinyl Shutters

  Vinyl shutters in the 19 standard colors are constructed from Polypropylene. The color is molded through the material and arrive ready to install. Polypropylene cannot be painted. The paintable finish shutters are fabricated from Polystyrene and are translucent opal in color.

  All vinyl shutters have a wood grain textured surface. Vinyl shutters are are constructed in the form of a shell, with four sides, a front and a hollow back. The panels can feel flimsy right out of the box and may not have the rigidity one expects from wood or composite shutters. They gain great strength and stability when they are attached to the building.

  Red Grandis

  Red Grandis is a nearly perfect high quality hardwood to manufacture exceptional exterior shutters. It has straight tight grain and minimal knotting, resulting in a consistently smooth texture. The fibers are relatively uniform in color with variations from light pink to dark red, and accept paint or stain well. Red Grandis is dimensionally stable and extremely strong. Paneled area is composite (see below).

• 

  Cedar

  Cedar is the most common and recognizable tree species for the construction of outdoor shutters. This aromatic timber is resistant to both insects and decay. Cedar has condensed grain with few knots, resulting in straight handsome shutters with tones of red, brown, and tan. Cedar paints and stain well. Paneled area is composite (see below).

• 

  Mahogany

  Mahogany has a compact grain with a rich, warm, reddish-brown hue. Mahogany shutters are strong, sturdy, and moisture resistant. Mahogany is relatively easy to finish and is heavier than other woods offered. Paneled area is composite (see below).
