Louvered shutters are the most widely installed exterior shutter style, and coordinate well with a majority of home designs. Our louvered exterior shutters are constructed with solid incense cedar components in three distinct louver sizes. While sizes are not "custom", both the width and height are offered in full inch increments. The louvered shutters can then be trimmed to achieve the desired size.

Wood louvered exterior shutters can be installed to be functional (swing open and closed), but most often are stationary. Non-functional exterior louvered shutters require less precise measurements than those that operate.
Non-functional louvered shutters
Shutter Width for Non-Functional Exterior Louvered Shutters
Measure each window width from the outside edge of window trim to the same spot on the opposite side. Calculate shutter panel width, starting with the smalleste window. Window widths narrower than 60 inches can appear to have functional shutters by ordering panels half of the window width. Windows larger than 60 inches, while unable to appear functional, should use panel sizes between 30% and 50% of the window width. Consider panel widths of narrow windows when determining panel widths for larger windows. Do not exceed a panel width greater than 50% of the window
Shutter Height for Non-Functional Exterior Louvered Shutters
Measure each window width from the top edge of the window trim to the bottom edge of the window trim. If there is a sill at the bottom of the window, measure to the top of the sill. Install the shutters about 1/4 inch above the sill. Exterior shutters are sold in full inch increments, but can be trimmed to match the window height.
