ABOUT INTERIOR SHUTTERS

Traditional interior shutters were of solid panels, which folded back into a recess each side of the window. These have now been superseded by louvered interior shutters. These have the advantage that, when closed, the louvers can be easily adjusted to vary the amount of light and the degree of privacy. These interior shutters are available in wood or viny, in a wide range of slat sizes, and in various stained or colored finishes. Interior shutters may be obtained in standard sizes, or custom made to precise sizes specified by the customer.

The leading interior shutter manufacturers, described below the panel of sponsored links, have comprehensive websites, with information on all aspects of interior shutters, including online catalogs, colours and materials for interior shutters, and care and maintenance of interior shutters.
