Our solid raised panel shutters are made in cedar and should last longer than you will!

The Victorians, who knew a thing or two about solid shutters, generally used cedar or pine. The pine solid shutters they made will, by now, have largely rotted and we do quite a lot of replacement work for these. We can also replace the panelling found below the window shutters, as these are really just shutter panels fixed to the wall.

We fit many solid shutters to homes where road noise or security is an issue. The Victorians fitted solid shutters for security, among other reasons. When they went off for the season and given that the glass was very thin in those days, birds could fly into the windows and their interiors would be damaged, so the solid shutters were only pulled across a couple of times a year. We design differently. Our solid shutters can be used daily but we generally don't pull them back into reveal boxes.
