Composite shutters are shipped with Polycarbonate v-shaped fixed mounting brackets for an easy and secure installation. The vertical side of the bracket attaches to the building and the perpendicular side screws to either the top or bottom of the shutter. The brackets extend the full width of the shutter and are not easily visible after installation. The brackets are not pre-attached. Composite shutters are not compatible with other installation methods.
Install Composite Shutters
Construction begins with large sheets of Extira, an engineered wood product made from wood fibers compacted with marine-grade resins. Extira is specifically engineered for moisture-rich outside applications, and it is ideal for the construction of solid panel shutters. All-weather composite shutters are largely unaffected by extreme temperature fluctuation and variable humidity and is perfect for environments with these conditions. Extira does not expand and contract which prolongs the paint finish.
Individual components are milled and secured with industrial strength exterior adhesives and stainless steel staples. The stiles and rails are 1.25 inch thick and defining center panel is 0.625 inch thick. Extira composite shutters have been installed on homes in all 50 states across America.

Solid panel composite shutters in all three designs are virtually indistinguishable from the same styles constructed from premium wood. These attractive exterior shutters are defined by the featured center solid panel. Choose from either a flat, raised or shaker panels.
Raised panel shutters are defined with a central plateau with beveled edges. The elevated plane produces an illusion of depth and captivates the eye. This iconic style has been used on American homes since Colonial times and is still widely utilized on new construction today. Traditional solid raised panel shutters are stylistically appropriate on Colonial, Georgian, and Plantation-Plain style homes. Historically, raised panel shutters were used for room darkening, privacy on the first story, severe weather protection and security from intruders in extreme situations.
The slant of 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 is noticeable when handling the shutters but generally imperceptible after they are installed.
The flat panel shutter is simple in composition with a modest, yet dignified, presence. This minimalistic conservative approach conveys a clean modern identity. Still, flat panel shutters add color, contrast and depth that other architectural elements or window treatments would be unable to achieve
A shaker panel shutter conveys the illusion of vertical boards flanked by an elevated perimeter. This variation of the exterior solid panel shutter is a refined board & batten approach popular on farmhouse and craftsman style homes.
The top profile of a majority of outdoor solid panel shutters is flat and straight. However, arch top shutters are available with a curved top to mimic the lines of a rounded window. A springline measurement will need to be recorded to achieve the correct radius. Use the arch top measuring instructions for the best results.
A divider rail separates the shutter into top and bottom panel areas. The divider looks much like the top rail and is an optional. The use of two divider rails results in three solid panel areas. The divider rail location can be centered or placed at a custom location by providing the measurement from the bottom of the shutter to the desired center of the divider.
Composite raised, grooved and flat panel exterior shutters can be shipped unfinished, primed, or factory painted. The composite material can be difficult to properly prime, so is strongly recommend that they be ordered either primed or fully painted. Two or three coats of primer, with a light sanding with 220-grit sandpaper between coats, should result in a smooth, sealed surface, ready to accept paint.
ShutterLand has nine standard paint colors available based on the most popular hues selected for window shutters – Charcoal Slate, Black, Black Forest Green, Chrome Green, Hamilton Blue, Country Redwood, Cottage Red, and Tudor Brown.
Ordering factory-painted composite solid flat panel shutters is a great choice for homeowners who want to receive shutters ready to install immediately. After fully priming and sealing the shutters, we professionally spray two coats of Benjamin Moore Corotech COMMAND paint in a satin sheen. This paint is specially designed for excellent adhesion and gives uniform coverage for a long life in outside conditions.
Custom color matching is an option if none of the standard colors meet your needs. Provide the name and manufacturer of a color you wish to match and we will custom mix paint 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.
On location DIY painting is relatively easy because of the large expanse of flat surface. The Extira composite material finishes equally well with water-based, oil-based or lacquer-based paint. Most paint stores will specify a combination of primer and paint that will be most effective. It is best to avoid an all-in-one combination paint-primer. A brush, roller or spray gun can all be efficient in applying the paint. We typically suggest two coats of exterior paint to ensure the shutters are well protected.
Composite shaker, raised and solid flat panel shutters cannot be stained because the material will not absorb the finish.
Composite shaker, raised or flat panel shutters should be installed in a fixed position. L-shaped polycarbonate mounting brackets are included with every composite shutter order to affix shutters in place so they will not move. The installation bracket is not preattached. Installation using any method other than with the fixed brackets will void the warranty. Composite shutters cannot be installed with functional hinges or hardware.
Composite solid panel shutters are heavier than traditional wood shutters with only one presentable side.
ShutterLand solid composite panel shutters are designed to enhance curb appeal. They provide an impressive architectural detail that will make a major impact. Composite raised, shaker and flat panel shutters currently require about 4-6 weeks for manufacturing. After completion, they are shipped direct to your front door.

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

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.
Wood 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.
The number of boards is based on the shutter width.
3 boards for widths 12” to 17 ¾”
4 boards for widths 18” to 23 ¾”
5 boards for widths 24” to 31 ¾”
6 boards for widths 32” to 39 ¾”
7 boards for widths 40” to 48”

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.
Bahama shutters are uniquely designed to span the width of entire windows. A vertical sub-stile is used to create multiple louver areas to prevent them from exceeding their natural width limitation. The number of sub-stiles based on the schedule below.
Shutter Width: 16 – 27″
(Option automatically removed from the order page if shutter width is outside of these parameters)
Shutter Width: 24 – 50″

Bahama shutters install to the top of a window with functional hinges and extend away from the building at the bottom with shutter stays. The shutter can nest inside of a window opening with sufficient depth or sit just proud of the trim. Most Bahama shutters cover the full height of the window, while others are shorter and serve as a canopy over the top portion.

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 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.
Louvers can be oriented in a down position.
This option is recommended.
Louvers can be oriented in an up position.
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.

Louvers can positioned in a down position.
This position is recommended because the louvers shed moisture.
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.

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 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 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).
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 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.
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.
A divider rail is a horizontal bar (much like the top rail) that creates louver areas above and below the division. The divider rail height is 3.5″.

Straight top shutters have a standard horizontal top.
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.
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 shutters are constructed with a central even surface with no detail.
Shaker panel shutters are fabricated with vertical grooves cut into the central surface. The number of grooves is based on the shutter width.
Vertical grooves:
2 grooves for shutter widths 12” to 17 ¾”
3 grooves for shutter widths 18” to 23 ¾”
4 grooves for shutter widths 24” to 31 ¾”
5 grooves for shutter widths 32” to 39 ¾”
6 grooves for shutter widths 40” to 45”

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.
