Installing exterior window shutters help improve the beauty and performance of your windows. If you choose the right one, that is. With the number of styles on the market, however, how do you know which one to choose for your home?
Wholesale Shutter Company discusses four popular exterior styles:
-
Louvered. This shutter style is constructed with overlapping slats of wood set into a frame. This is one of the most popular shutter styles because of its excellent versatility. Set them off against a neutral-colored home exterior by coating them in eye-catching colors, or choose a classy stain if you prefer a more natural look.
-
Raised Panel. Raised panel shutters create a formal yet inviting look that pairs well with traditional homes. We recommend poly window shutters and painting them in dark colors to add dramatic contrast to your windows.
-
Board and Batten. These exterior shutters come in spaced or joined, or arch-top or square styles. As the name implies, board and batten shutters are made up of individual boards joined together by shorter pieces or battens. This specific style works best with double-hung windows as they have a similar appearance.
-
Plantation. For a more laid-back Southern look, try the rustic look of plantation shutters. These are also great for homeowners who want to improve the ventilation indoors. Our plantation shutters feature wide operable louvers that allow you to control the amount of ventilation you prefer.
Since these shutters are on your home’s exterior, they need to be durable enough to withstand the harsh elements.
