Anatomy of a Shutter

Stiles: The vertical pieces on the left and right side. These need to be hand selected for straightness.

Rails: The top and bottom portion of the shutter.

Louver: The slat or the movable part. This comes in many sizes, however 3.5" is now the most frequently chosen.

Tilt Rod: This is the "stick" that moves the louvers open and closed. It is normally connected to the louver blades by a staple.

Staples: The most common way that the tilt rod is connected to louver. There is one size in the tilt rod, another in the louver

Louver Pin: This part is is inserted in the end of the louver and fits into a hole drilled into the stile

Exterior Shutters?

There is something special about the added touch of exterior shutters to complement your home's unique look. We at Acura are here to help you pick and design the products that will give your home that finished look. Choose from louvers, raised panels, board and batten, and bahama shutters.

 

exterior-fixed-louver

Fixed Louvers The most popular of exterior shutters, our exterior fixed louver shutters are made from kiln dried Incense and Western Red Cedar, Douglas Fir, or genuine Mohagany. Other lumber choices are available. Choose from several blade sizes: 1 1/4", 1 3/4", 2", 2 1/4", 2 1/2". We can even make them with a custom blade or tapered louver to match your needs.
exterior-raisedpanels

Raised Panels: Custom made in either raised, flat or Shaker panel, our panel shutters are crafted in cedar with solid lumbers, or in exterior grade MDF material. We can also fabricate them as part of a fixed louver panel. Custom cut outs are also available.
exterior-bermuda

Bahama Shutters: Our Bahama shutter (know also as the Bermuda Shutter) has become a popular option in both residential and comercial applications to shade windows from the sun while providing a level of view to the outside. Unlike regular exterior shutters that mount on either side of a window, Bahama shutters normally cover an entire window in one shutter (some applications require more), can usually be from from as little as a third to the full length of the window. They are normally attached above the widow with Bermuda style hardware.
exterior-bnb

Board And Batten: Another very popular option, our board and batten shutters are manufactured using incense cedar, and optionally in our water proof exterior MDF material. Options include narrow or wide boards, v-groove, square corner, and beaded. We also offer custom cut outs for your board and batten shutters.
