Composite Shutters
Blended Brilliance
Composite Shutters are made from wood composite material co-extruded with a polypropylene coating for increased durability. Our composite window shutters use flared-edge dovetail construction. This is one of the strongest and most structurally sound methods for holding panels together, because it utilizes interlocking the components instead of solely relying on glue to hold them together.
They can be customized to fit different window shapes and sizes, providing a tailored look for each room. Exceptionally strong and durable, these shutters bring a rich, natural beauty to any room they adorn.

The standard hinge system is used for most windows. It allows the shutters to open and/or fold out from one side.

Bi-Fold Track System
Commonly used for closet doors, though can also be an option for large windows. Features hinged shutter panels that glide open, fold back on a single top track.
Bypass Track System
Features a double-top track on which panels slide past each other. Also available in Triple Bypass and Open Louver Bypass Track configuration, allowing the louvers to be open when panels slide past each other.
Bottom Track Systems
Recommended to improve panel functionality and performance. Bi-Fold bottom tracks run full width from frame to frame and the track is visible when panels are open. Bypass bottom tracks run the full width of the frame and the track is visible when panels are closed or stacked.
Bypass Floor Guides
Mounted to the floor directly below the panel overlap, providing a small guide for the panels to slide in. It is available only for Standard Bypass. This option is minimally visible, but does not provide the same support as a Bypass Bottom Track.
2-1/2 Inch Standard Bypass Valance
Support Brackets on top of the frame may also be visible above the valance, especially when viewed from a distance or from overhead.
5-3/8 Inch Standard Bypass Valance
Should provide full coverage of the support brackets in most applications.
Standard Bypass Decorative Valance
Should provide full coverage of the support brackets in most applications.
Divider Rails
Enhance the aesthetic appeal and provide additional support by dividing the shutter panels into distinct sections, ensuring long-lasting durability and stability.
Café Shutters
Half-height shutters that cover only the lower portion of a window, leaving the upper part exposed. Allows for privacy while still allowing ample natural light to enter the room.
Arches and Angle Top
Arch top and angle top panels allow coverage of specialty shaped windows with continuous panels. The arch top may be in the shape of an arch or a quarter circle.
T-Posts
Vertical or horizontal components of the shutter frame that separate the frame into multiple panel sets. Shutter panels are hinged within each set and allow for placement of more panels (or panel sets) within the same opening.
Hang Strip
Available as an Inside or Outside Mount. A two-sided framing option using Hang Strip or Trim Hang Strip to mount panels inside or outside the opening. (Shown Outside Mount)
Light Stop/Trim Strip
Used for inside or outside mount applications to help prevent light gaps with 3-sided frames, direct mounts and Hand Strip applications. Filler strips to fill in areas around the shutter frames are also available.
Arch/Angle Top Shutters
Elevate Your Home's Style with Timeless Elegance! Tailored to fit your unique architectural features, our arch/angle top panels seamlessly complement your home's style and character.
A rear tilt bar provides as many operable louvers as possible.
Louvers that cannot be connected to a tilt bar will operate independently. In some cases, some louvers may be fixed closed.
Up/down louver closure may be ordered so that the look of the bottom rail will coordinate with other openings in the room.
For a tight louver closure an upward position closure is recommended.
The arch top may be in the shape of an arch or a quarter circle.
