ShutterLand’s manufacturing process has been streamlined to keep costs and manufacturing time at a minimum. Therefore, we do not deviate from these two louver sizes.

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 $40 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.

Measure Composite Shutters

Composite exterior shutters install in a stationary position to the side of the window with the included Lexan polycarbonate fixed mounting brackets.

The v-shaped 1-1/8″ x 1-1/8″ brackets are specifically suited for use with outdoor composite shutters. The vertical side of the bracket attaches to the building and the horizontal side to the top or bottom of the shutter. The brackets extend the full width of the shutter and are not easily visible after installation.

Faux Tilt Bar

A tilt bar is a narrow vertical wood rod that interconnects a group of horizontal louvers. Historically, a tilt bar unifies a group of movable louvers to allow them to rotate at one time. ShutterLand composite louvers are fixed in a downward-pointing 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 $40 to the price of each shutter.

Most exterior shutter applications do not require a tilt bar.

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.

Unfinished - Paint Grade

Unfinished shutters are raw with no finish applied. All surfaces are thoroughly sanded. Small blemishes are repaired with wood filler, which will arrive sanded smooth and ready to finish. Filled areas will not diminish the integrity of the shutter or show through the paint. Priming is recommended to seal the grain and support paint adhesion.
Unfinished - Stain Grade

Unfinished shutters are raw with no finish applied. All surfaces are thoroughly sanded. Wood is selected for a relatively uniform grain. Minor blemishes (if any) are repaired with stainable wood filler, which will arrive sanded smooth and ready to finish. Filled areas will not diminish the integrity or appearance of the shutter.
Primed

Primed shutters are sprayed with Benjamin Moore Aqua Lock Plus acrylic water-based universal primer / sealer. This primer provides complete coverage to seal the porous raw surface, block stains and prevent bleed-through. The medium gray primed surface will need to be sanded with 220 grit sandpaper and wiped clear of dust before painting.

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.

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 a translucent opal in color.

All vinyl shutters have a wood grain textured surface. Both boards and battens are are constructed in the form of a shell, with four sides, a front and a hollow back (shown at left). Both the boards and battens have a cap at either end of the component. 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.

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 $40 to the price of each shutter.

Most exterior shutter applications do not require a tilt bar.

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).
Composite Solid Panel

The central solid panel is fabricated from Extira, a composite material manufactured from sustainable wood fibers and marine-grade resins. Extira is designed for outdoor applications where humidity and moisture varies. It is strong, resilient and holds its shape in all weather conditions.

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. Paneled area is composite (see below).

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

The central solid panel is fabricated from Extira, a composite material manufactured from sustainable wood fibers and marine-grade resins. Extira is designed for outdoor applications where humidity and moisture varies. It is strong, resilient and holds its shape in all weather conditions.

Straight Top

Straight top shutters have a standard horizontal top.
Arch Top 1:1 Drop

The arch of a 1:1 drop is equal to the width. So the measurement from the top of the shutter down to the start of the arch is the same as the shutter width.

A pair of arch top shutters includes one shutter with the arch on the left side and one with the arch on the right.
Arch Top Custom Drop

A custom arch requires a springline measurement.

Springline – the dimension from the top of the shutter down to the start of the arch.

A pair of arch top shutters includes one shutter with the arch on the left side and one with the arch on the right.

Flat Panel

Flat panel shutters are constructed with a central even surface with no detail.

Measure PVC Board & Batten Shutters

PVC exterior shutters install to the side of the window using one of two methods.

Stationary shutters permanently attach to the side of the window in a fixed location.

Functional shutters mount with operable exterior hardware to pivot from a position flanking the window to cover the window opening.

How the window is measured depends on which of these two options is selected.

Vertical Boards

The number of boards is based on the shutter width.

Four available
Closed-weave
7.75″ – 2 boards
11.625″ – 3 boards
15.5″ – 4 boards
19.375″ – 5 boards

Fixed Installation Brackets

V-shaped clear Lexan polycarbonate mounting brackets are used to install shutters in a fixed position. One edge of the bracket screws into the building with included stainless steel screws. The perpendicular edge overlaps the top or bottom edge of the shutter and secures in place with shorter screws.

The use of installation brackets avoids the need to drill or screw through the face of the shutter. They are clear, so they will not hinder the appearance of the shutter. Installation brackets are $6 per shutter.

Installation hinges will need to be obtained from an outside shutter hardware source. Select the “No Hardware” option.

The video on the installation page will help to visualize the exact process.
