Window Shutters for Your St. Louis Home

The simple elegance of interior shutters gives a lift to any room

There are copious advantages of indoor shutters over other types of window coverings. These types of shutters are most often used in situations with a focus on creating an attractive interior design statement. However, they can also provide versatility in terms of how they are used and certain utilitarian advantages.

Unlike blinds, indoor or interior shutters do not raise up and down nor lift. They are created with horizontal slats, in most cases, and are mounted on solid wood, plastic, or metal frame. More often than not, indoor shutters are made from solid hardwood.  However, some manufacturers provide them in aluminum, vinyl, or composite wood.

Shutters are durable and make a wise investment in many ways.

Shutters are a versatile complement to any interior. They offer excellent light control and, in many ways, can be considered a great option for darkening a room when closed. The refined look of custom shutters creates ambiance and adds value to your home!

Our three most popular shutters include hardwood, vinyl, and composite wood. Each is unique in its own way and brings something different to the table from the other.

Endless possibilities exist with regard to their design and construction

Interior shutters can also be made with double panels, each hinged and opening outward in a double-door style. Another option is a shutter designed with quadruple panels that are fashioned in such as way as to allow the panels to be opened and closed in the style of a bi-fold door. Indoor shutters can be constructed with both single or double tiers.

Indoor shutters can have exciting options that give the homeowners total control over how the light gets filtered. For instance, light strips can be installed along the edges of the inside mounts. These light strips limit the light that can enter along the sides. Another option is to install the hinges into grooves so they become recessed into the window frame. This limits the space between the window frame and the slat’s edge to provide a more pleasing appearance.

The specific procedures used to care for and maintain indoor shutters depend on the materials used to make them. Those made from a stained natural wood finish require a particular approach, while faux wood or plastic shutters have less restrictive cleaning processes. Painted indoor shutters will have different requirements for cleaning and maintenance yet. Decisions about keeping indoor shutters in the best possible condition should coincide with the specific instructions that the manufacturer issues before installation. However, it is advisable to vacuum all types of indoor shutters frequently.

They can stand alone and finish off a window.
