Interior Shutters
Our interior shutters combine timeless elegance with modern functionality, crafted from premium hardwoods or moisture-resistant Thermalite materials. Each unit undergoes multi-step sanding and receives two coats of low-VOC water-based finish for lasting durability. Available in various louver sizes and configurations, these custom treatments enhance light control while adding architectural interest to any room.
Exterior Shutters
Hand-assembled exterior shutters meet historical authenticity standards using cedar, fiberglass, or composite materials engineered for weather resistance. Mortise-and-tenon joinery reinforced with mahogany dowels ensures structural integrity across temperature fluctuations. Custom options include decorative cutouts, radius tops, and copper capping to complement architectural styles from colonial to contemporary.
Blinds and Shades
We offer Hunter Douglas and Horizons brand blinds and shades featuring advanced light control technologies. Cellular shades provide energy efficiency through insulating air pockets, while woven wood treatments add natural texture. Motorized systems like PowerView enable smartphone-controlled operation, and LiteRise mechanisms offer child-safe cordless adjustments for safety compliance.
Custom Design Consultation
Our experts provide free in-home or showroom consultations to assess window dimensions and aesthetic requirements. Using full-size display samples, we demonstrate material performance characteristics and operational mechanisms. This personalized approach ensures clients understand all available options before committing to custom manufacturing specifications tailored to their property's unique needs.
Professional Installation
Trained technicians perform precise measurements and execute installations following factory specifications. For complex applications like stone facades or curved windows, our team applies specialized mounting techniques to ensure secure attachment. Post-installation walkthroughs verify proper operation of tilt mechanisms and louver closures, guaranteeing client satisfaction with both functionality and appearance.
