The exterior colonial true louver shutter\door is a stunning
piece of millwork. Incorporating authentic mortise and
tenon construction with oversized stiles, rails, and a
2-1/2" beveled slat to create an exterior louvered
shutter/door that is as beautiful as it is solid. Each
tenon is secured with two teak pegs. This historically
correct approach towards construction utilizes no mechanical
fasteners.
Hand selected Western Red Cedar, a naturally decay-resistant
wood, is choice for this application. Straight and light
in weight, nothing matches the performance of Western
Red 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.
This shutter features 1-3/8” flush stile and rail
construction. Shutter design incorporates a 1-1/2 inch
trim on top and bottom rails. Side styles will trim 1/2
inch. For unsurpassed quality, the exterior colonial true
louver is the finest available.
