Custom Interior Shutters Make Homes Feel Complete
Interior shutters pair solid artisanship, a luxurious aesthetic, and long-lasting durability, yet they rarely get the credit they deserve. Our experts at Cindy's Window Fashions are here to change that.
Once you know how custom shutters are designed and manufactured, it's easy to see why they are well worth the investment.
How Do Interior Shutters Work?
Interior shutters have hinged panels called louvers, set inside a frame that attaches to your window casing. A center tilt bar, or a hidden mechanism in newer designs, controls the angle of those louvers.
Those panels can swing open like small doors or run along a track for wider openings, such as patio doors. Tilt them up and daylight bounces toward the ceiling, softening glare without dimming the room. Or, tilt them down, and you block the view from outside while keeping the panels shut.
Additionally, because the frame fits flush against the window, interior shutters help seal out drafts year-round.
What Are the Different Styles of Hunter Douglas Shutters?
As one of the leading brands in the window treatment industry, Hunter Douglas offers customized three styles of interior shutters, including:
1. Heritance® Wood Shutters Offer Genuine Hardwood Beauty
Heritance® Wood Shutters are made from 100% natural hardwood, giving each panel true furniture-grade weight and warmth. Truemill® dovetail construction reinforces the construction, and the Integra™ Finish keeps that beauty intact.
Sustainability is built into the sourcing process, too, since that quality wood comes from responsibly managed forests. Every purchase of these interior shutters includes a donation to the Arbor Day® Foundation to support efforts to preserve trees and rainforests.
2. NewStyle® Composite Shutters Look Like the Real Deal
NewStyle® Composite Shutters use a durable compound engineered to hold steady in rooms where temperature and humidity swing, like kitchens and bathrooms. You’ll never have to sacrifice on quality just because you don’t choose genuine wood, as these shutters also feature a Truemill® dovetail construction.
The modern materials also mimic the look of real wood. Hunter Douglas manufactures these custom shutters with a low-luster Finetech® finish that gives each panel the look of finely painted wood.
3. Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters Offer the Ultimate Durability
Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters withstand the intense sunlight and moisture of hot, humid climates, making them a fine fit for sunrooms, kitchens, and coastal homes where humidity remains high year-round. The Palm Beach Promise™ backs their UV resistance, guaranteeing that the panels won't warp, crack, fade, chip, peel, or discolor.
Interior aluminum bracing and resin blocks build in extra strength, and cleanup stays simple since most panels only need a damp cloth.
