Solid Cedar Exterior Shutters
Shutter Styles
Construction
ShutterLand exterior shutters are built by hand with time-tested techniques. Each shutter panel is constructed from top quality hand-selected solid kiln-dried incense cedar. The stiles and rails of louvered and raised panel shutters are glued and doweled, creating durable joints that can endure decades of service.
All stiles, rails, louvers, boards, and battens are solid wood. We do not finger-joint shorter
pieces of lumber to crate longer components. Raised panel components are constructed from
Extira
Size specifications for all components can be found on the page of the desired shutter stile, including louvered, raised panel, combo, or board and batten.
- Louvered shutters use fixed slats precisely positioned in regular intervals in 3 louver sizes.
- Raised Panel shutters use raised panel inserts constructed from from Extira exterior grade MDF.
- Combo shutters use both louvers and raised panels areas in a single shutter
- Board and Batten are made with vertical boards and horizontal battens. Available soon.
Incense Cedar
Incense cedar is harvested in the mountains from western Oregon to southern California. It is an aromatic wood that resists both decay and insects. The growth conditions of incense cedar makes the wood ideal for the construction of exterior shutters and gives long service with little maintenance. Alternate uses for incense cedar include mud sills, window sashes, sheathing under stucco or brick, veneer construction, greenhouse benches, fencing, poles, trellises, and exterior siding. Incense cedar is a straight wood that sands and finishes well in final preparation for installation. We do not build exterior shutters from lesser quality woods, like pine, which would reduce costs, but also decrease the life and stability.
Alternative names for incense cedar include California incense cedar, California white cedar, and post cedar.
