Wood Exterior Shutters

ShutterLand wood 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 shutters and raised panel shutters are glued and doweled, creating durable joints that can endure decades of service. Wood exterior shutters are available either unfinished or factory painted from a selection of nearly 2000 colors.

All stiles, rails, louvers, boards, and battens are solid wood. We do not finger-joint shorter pieces of lumber to crate longer components for the panels. Louvers and raised panels are slotted into the side stiles. The raised panel component is constructed from Extira exterior grade MDF. The raised panel area must be specifically primed with Kilz oil based primer before painting.

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 it ideal for the construction of wood 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 outdoor wood 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.

Summary

Quality cedar simply results in the most authentic wood exterior shutters available. Do not be tempted by less expensive lower quality shutters, like pine. These woods will quickly deteriorate in outdoor conditions. Cedar shutters routinely enjoy long serviceable lives.
