The earliest form of a shutter was a piece of leather stretched on a frame and then hinged with a wooden peg. Over the following years new technology provided metal hinges and screws to hang wooden shutters. Technology has made large advancements in the last century to provide us with well built and functional shutters. There have been many uses for shutters. They can be used on windows to block out the heat and sun.
Timber is a natural resource and also acts as a natural insulation, which makes shutters perfect for keeping a home cool and cutting down on the growing cost of electricity. It also helps to insulate your home against the chill of winter. You can have control over your privacy while still allowing light and air. Shutters are available in fixed, hinged, bi-fold or sliding functions. They are available in 4 different blade sizes and are coated in a wide range of UV resistant paints, colors and stains.
