Built for Weather
If your shutters are going to be painted, composite deserves a serious look. Our composite shutters are made from Extira, an engineered exterior panel that resists moisture, rot and termites and holds paint for years. It does not split, check or warp the way solid wood can in a wet or humid climate, which makes it the right material for a shutter that faces the weather every day.
The styles match our wood lines: louvered in three louver sizes, raised panel, flat panel, board and batten, and framed board and batten. Louvers and vertical boards are routed out of a single solid piece, so there are no joints to open up. Each shutter is 1-1/4" thick with 2-1/2" stiles and rails, and it comes primed at no charge, ready for your finish coat.
Because composite skips the drying and milling steps solid lumber needs, these shutters ship in approximately 3–4 weeks, faster than our wood shutters. Like everything we build, they are made in our own shop and backed by our 5-year material and workmanship warranty.
Seven Types
- Louvered, 1-1/8" louversFine louvers for smaller windows and a traditional look.
- Louvered, 1-3/4" louversOur standard louver size, and the most popular.
- Louvered, 3" louversWide louvers for tall windows and coastal homes.
- Raised PanelColonial panels, raised on the front, or on both sides as an option.

Each type has its own layouts: louvered and panel shutters use the same rail divisions as our wood lines (100, 50/50, 20/40/40 and more), and board and batten comes with 2 or 3 battens, a Z-bar or an X-bar.
