Wood Shutters Direct offers the most requested fixed louver shutter styles:

Closed Louver Style |
|
The Closed Louver style, pictured here in clear pine, is reminiscent of traditional fully functional louvered shutters and they happen to be our forte! |
 |
Closed louver shutters give you all the style and beauty of open or functional louvered shutters, but are much easier to install and maintain, they'll save you money and we can deliver them in a week!

Open Louvered Style |
 |
Shown here in clear cedar, our Open Louver shutters include the Bermuda and Bahama styles as well as exterior Plantation style. Open Louvers have presentable fronts and backs, as well as allowing some light and air to pass through the shutter. |
Open Louver are required where the shutter must be able to be closed in front of the window. They are also commonly used for permanently mounting over vents, exits,etc. Open louver shutters are also sometimes utilized as closet doors.

Bermuda / Bahama |
Bermuda shutters (also sometimes called Bahama) are similar in construction to Open Louver shutters, the difference being Bermuda shutters are desinged to be hung in front of the window with the hinge along the top edge. When a Bermuda shutter (one per window) is opened it swings vertically up and out from the house |
. |
Because a single Bermuda shutter covers the entire window they tend to be quite large, so an extra stile is added vertically down the center of the shutter for added strength and stability.

Board & Batten Style |
 |
Board & Batten style wood shutters are very popular across the south and northeast. Shown here in knotty pine, the Closed Board & Batten style is typical for cottages and barns while the Open Board and Batten is a great accent for picket fences or porch rails.
B&B shutters have been associated with barns, cottages and the Cape Cod style homes. They definitely lend themselves to the "country" look. B&B shutters have been gaining popularity and are becoming quite trendy (as far as shutters go!)

Raised Panel |
 |
The raised panel shutter is the perfect compliment for a variety of home styles. Traditional colonial homes, cottages and federal manor homes often have raised panel shutters adorning the windows.
Our raised panel shutters are made with a real cedar (or pine) frame and Extira® for the panel portion of the shutter. Extira® is a wood composite that is impervious to water, weather and insects. We feel that the real wood / composite combination makes a long-lasting, cost effective and beautiful raised panel shutter. If you prefer an all cedar or all pine raised panel shutter, we offer that option as well.
