Traditional shutters, when style talks louder

Traditional shutters, also commonly known as colonial shutters, are still widely used throughout the country. Although striving to fight against more modern shutter styles like the plantation style shutter, they still find their way into everyday households unwilling to let go of their traditions.

The traditional shutters are usually ¾ inch thick and use 1 ¼ inch wide louvers. Though you can find this shutter with flat louvers, it is most likely that you’ll find it with wedge shaped louvers. You can also get them in several panel configurations, though most people find the four panel unit to be the most visually appealing - but that would depend on your traditional shutters specific preferences.

Having begun their journey in the northern eastern United States, colonial shutters have quickly spread through all the remaining states. Curiously, "traditional shutters" are still only available in wood, unlike its more contemporary plantation shutters available in several composite materials. They’re also a bit harder to find, as most manufacturers now focus on wider louver shutters allowing for a less obstructed view more suited to large rooms with big windows. Nevertheless, you can still find them if you find it’s the best option for your windows covering. Just head to your nearest online blind and shutter retailer and you can get them at the press of a button.
