As a custom manufacturer,
California Shutters Inc. offers a wide range of different styles of shutters which
include: four louver sizes (movable or fixed), three different frame styles, raised
panel options, and different divider rail placements. In addition, there is virtually
no widow shape that we cannot treat. If you can imagine or draw it, we can probably make
it.
Your choice of
louver widths include:
2 1/2", 3 1/2", and 4 1/2". Narrower louver widths are normally used
for a more formal or traditional decor whereas larger widths usually compliment more
casual or contemporary settings. 4 1/2" louvers are wonderful for lake, river, canal
or ocean views. But of course the ultimate choice is the client's.
Our framed shutters are
available in three different frame styles. We offer an "L" frame for typical
outside mount installations and two "Z" frames (one beaded frame and one
decorative molded frame) for inside mount installations. The decorative molded
"Z" frame adds a beautiful finished look to the shutters.
We can manufacture shutters
with or without solid raised panels which can conceal wall space between windows or above
or below windows. Another option is the choice of a divider rail or no divider rail for
the shutters. A divider rail will allow louvers above and below the rail to operate
independently. Keeping the louvers below the divider rail closed can add privacy or
conceal wall space behind them.
Arches, sunbursts, and sloped
windows are our specialty. Many companies offer stock or laminated shutters in standard
sizes only. Others purchase arches from other companies. We and our customers demand the
best...so we manufacture our special shapes ourselves. An arched shutter or sunburst is
one of the most stunning and decorative statements you can make with wood and ours is
second to no one in the industry...
