Exterior Shutter Hardware

Wood exterior shutters can be installed with functional hardware to swing open and closed. ShutterLand does provide some guidance to help determine the best shutter hinges or shutter dogs. ShutterLand does not sell hardware, but does have a trusted source with great selection, helpful customer service and reasonable pricing. Alternatively, stainless steel screws may be used to secure the shutters directly to the building in a fixed position.

Construction of Wood Solid Panel Shutters

The basic structure of outside solid panel shutters is what makes them globally appealing. Each shutter is constructed with wood horizontal rails and vertical stiles. Floating in the middle resides a raised, flat or grooved solid panel constructed from Extira, a stable and reliable composite material.

ShutterLand offers solid panel shutters in three premium woods – Red Grandis, Cedar and Mahogany. Lumber is harvested from sustainably managed forests and carefully selected for straight lengths with minimal blemishes. All wood is thoroughly kiln-dried before construction begins. The stiles and rails of these exterior shutters are assembled from all solid lengths of premium wood, which are never finger-jointed. The intersection between the stiles and rails are secured with 2 ½” wood dowels, exterior glue and 3 ½” threaded screws for superior durability.

Pros

+ Can be installed with functional hinges
+ Historically accurate
+ 1.5″ thick shutters
+ Sustainable kiln-dried lumber
+ Solid / Straight / Smooth components
+ Strong and durable
+ Full range of sizes available
+ Unlimited paint colors
+ Long life expectancy
+ Free shipping for most sizes

Cons

– Can absorb moisture if finish compromised
– Moderately heavy
– Cannot be stained

The inside panel portion of this shutter style is crafted from a composite material manufactured to be especially durable in outdoor applications with high moisture content. Extira composite is used for the inside panels because it can be manufactured as one solid piece to maintain form over time. The bevel on composite raised panels cut on a diagonal exposes the embedded wood fibers that can cause the surface to become slightly rougher than the face. This standard characteristic is universal and unavoidable. Sanding causes wood fibers to dislodge, resulting in more craters. Filling with wood putty results in an inconsistent patchy complexion, which is also not desirable. The texture difference may be noticeable when handling the shutters but generally imperceptible after they are installed.

Wood Solid Panel Shutter Options

The wood raised panel exterior shutter design is historically familiar. The style originated in Colonial America and offered privacy, light control, temperature regulation, and greater security than louvered shutters with simple design. The raised panel layout with an elevated composite section is adaptable to many styles of homes throughout the United States.

Contemporary, Mission and Mid-Century Modern style homes regularly incorporate wood flat panel shutters into their architecture. This minimalist approach with clean square lines and uncomplicated design still adds color and contrast but reduces the nonessential elements.

Wooden outdoor shaker shutters borrow inspiration from the board & batten design. The stiles and rails flank the interior section, which simulates vertical boards. The versatile shaker shutters are popular on farmhouse and craftsman style homes.

Wood Solid Panel Shutter Paint Colors

Solid panel shutters can be ordered unfinished, primed, or factory painted. Raised panel shutters cannot be stained because the composite paneled sections are unable to absorb stain. Solid raised panel shutters are much easier to sand and paint than louvered shutters.

We recommend priming with a solvent-based primer (not water based) because it bonds better with the composite material in the raised panel portion of the shutter. After priming, sand once more with 220-grit sandpaper, then remove all dust with a tack cloth. Once the surface is clean, two coats of a water- or oil-based quality exterior paint will ensure the shutters are ready for exterior use.

ShutterLand also offers factory priming and painting so your shutters are ready to install upon receipt. We use Benjamin Moore high performance oil primer / sealer in a medium gray color for thorough coverage, ready to accept any paint color.

If painted shutters are specified, we then spray two coats of Benjamin Moore Corotech COMMAND paint for thorough coverage in any color desired. Our nine standard paint colors are Black, Black Forest Green, Chrome Green, Tudor Brown, Charcoal Slate, Cottage Red, Country Redwood and Hamilton Blue. If you have a specific paint color you wish to match, we can custom mix paint based on the manufacturer and paint color specified for an additional $200. White or light-base colors may require an additional $35 per shutter. The increased amount is applied because light-based colors are more difficult to apply than darker colors, and will be presented for approval before an order is processed.

Options for Wood Raised, Flat and Shaker Panel Shutters

While many of the dimensions of wood solid panel shutters are standard, homeowners can customize the width and height of the shutter to the closest ¼ inch. A divider rail is optional for shutters under 70” and can be specified anywhere on the shutter by providing the location from the bottom of the shutter to the center of the divider. A second divider rail can also be incorporated for a small fee.

On special request, unique cut outs can be used with raised panel exterior shutters to really personalize the home. Any shape can be provided to create a cut out, which is typically located in the top portion of a raised panel shutter. Some of the most popular categories include:

Trees – palm tree for tropical locations or evergreen for wooded cabins
Ocean– seahorse; turtle; starfish; sailboat; anchor
Plant – tulip; clover; pineapple acorn
Ornamental – fleur-de-lis; candlestick; heart; Swiss cross; crescent moon; diamond; windmill; star; horseshoe
Animal – squirrel; dog; horse; dove; butterfly

Raised panel shutters are flat on the back, but they are still often installed as functional units since the back side is infrequently visible. Flat and shaker shutters also have no detail on the back side. It is necessary to obtain appropriate hardware if shutters are to be operable; this includes hinges, shutter dogs and tie backs. The supplier can assist with selecting the correct shutter hardware for each unique installation.

We want you to make an informed decision before ordering your quality exterior shutters. If you need any assistance determining the custom sizes, finishes and options for your wood raised panel shutters, ShutterLand is happy to help. After ordering, custom raised panel wood shutters are typically manufactured in 4-6 weeks, then shipped directly to your home. We are confident you will be satisfied with the beauty and longevity of ShutterLand wood solid panel shutters.
