Board and batten shutters offer a unique look that gives
a Mediterranean feel. This shutter is also popular on
ranch style architecture. The board and batten shutter
is constructed from 1-1/8" cedar boards which are
spaced equally with a small gap between the boards to
allow for expansion. This heavy duty construction is sure
to add quality and value to any home.
Hand selected Cedar, a naturally decayresistant wood,
is the preferred choice for this application. Straight
and light in weight, nothing matches the performance of
Cedar. Semi-transparent and solid color stains are an
excellent finish option. When painted, a good quality,
fast drying, oil based primer should be used. Left unfinished
cedar will silver and remain maintenance free for years.
