America’s love affair with internal shutters continues, with research confirming that internal shutters account for around 30% of window treatments choices. This is confirmed when you drive through any new housing development from California to North Carolina – a large percentage of those new homes have internal shutters as their window dressing of choice.
Why are internal shutters still so popular in American homes? A significant factor is the flexibility that they offer to the American consumer. Look at this photo of internal shutters, made from yellow poplar hard wood and stained in a rich walnut. Despite the stain being a darker shade, the internal shutters still allow a significant amount of light into the room. Unlike drapes, internal shutters enable you to tilt the slats at an angle, giving privacy from people looking into your home while retaining the flow of light into the room.
These internal shutters have been designed to have wider panels. This means that there are less upright solid sections of wood running through the glass, which can sometimes reduce the amount of light flowing into the room.
The shutters here could be fitted in any home in America. Why? Well, at The Shutter Store each and every shutter is completely custom made. You choose from hundreds of design combinations and we make your order specifically to match your specification. We don’t cut the internal shutters down or add packing strips. Your shutters, made exactly to your specification, ensuring they fit perfectly.
Shutters shown have 2 ½” slats with divide rails and regular louver tilt rods.
