Shopping for Outdoor Wood Shutters
General Exterior Shutter Information
Exterior shutters represent a substantial investment for your
house. Heat, cold, sunlight, and moisture make outdoor window
areas a less-than-friendly environment for exterior shutters!
You can avoid disappointment with your exterior shutter purchase
by knowing what to expect from the outdoor shutters you select
for your house. ShutterLand is a reputable and experienced
exterior shutter company that understands quality and can
fully answer your questions about exterior shutters.
We recommend that you research the grade and quality of the
wood used in manufacturing of outside shutters. The wood and
the quality of construction ultimately determines how attractive
your exterior shutters will be and how well they will perform
over time on your house.
The Wood for Exterior Shutters
The outstanding durability and resistance to decay of incense
cedar makes it ideal for exterior use where moisture is present.
This wood gives long service with little maintenance in such
as mud sills, window sashes, sheathing under stucco or brick
veneer construction, greenhouse benches, fencing, poles, trellises,
and outdoor shutters. Cedar is also used extensively for exterior
house siding because it is dimensionally stable and holds
paint well, in addition to being durable. There are
also no knots, filled areas, veneers, or finger joints (these
ultimately show through the finish) in ShutterLand exterior
shutters. Oh, yes, and bugs hate it!
Wood exterior shutters are a solid shutter and can be functional, compared to vinyl exterior shutters, which are generally made without a back. Wood
exterior shutters are exclusively used on historical house
renovations.
Exterior Shutter Construction
ShutterLand exterior shutter joints that are glued and doweled
on 1" centers for strength and durability are standard
on quality outdoor shutters.
