Real wood shutters in basswood and other hardwoods, stained to show natural grain or painted for a smooth finish, for dry rooms that deserve the warmth and character of solid wood.
Real wood shutters have a warmth that no other material matches, with grain that shows through stain and a solid feel in the hand. Homeowners in Nashville choose them for living rooms, dining rooms, studies and bedrooms.
We discuss wood species and finishes, from natural stain to deep colors and painted whites, and explain how wood responds to humidity and sun. Real wood works best for drier rooms, and for kitchens and baths we usually suggest composite or vinyl. We measure, order and install the shutters with a solid frame, then set louver tension so they stay where you tilt them. We explain how to dust and care for the finish. A well-built wood shutter should feel solid when you tilt the louvers or swing a panel. We show sample frames and louvers so you can feel the difference between materials, and we talk about how paint or stain will wear over time. We also discuss which rooms suit wood and which would be happier with a more moisture-tolerant material.
Stain shows grain, and paint gives a smooth look, and we compare samples with your floors and trim.
