Shutter Recommendations?

13 years ago

We're excited about an exterior remodel of our home, and we'd appreciate your ideas on what kinds of exterior shutters to add. We think shutters will be a great embellishment to the home.

Timberlane; I know you'll have great advice and incredible products!

On the back of the house, we'd like to do some Bermuda Shutters. These will shade a few windows that get hammered by the sun in the afternoon.

On the second floor in front, we'll do some normal shutters. Because we're using Bermuda (louvered) shutters, must/should we use louvered on the other windows? And must the lower floor shutters be louvered as well?

We'd like the shutters to be "working" with all the right hardware. But what do we do about the lower, huge picture windows? What do you do in a situation where there isn't enough adjacent room to fit a full shutter? I supposed we're simply doing undersized, faux shutters, or none at all?

Will folks ever put up Bermuda-style shutters tied up to the underside of a porch or roof?

Sincere thanks...

Sorry we are just seeing this, Barry! We love your ideas about Bermuda shutters along the back of the house. We have had multiple customers create "Three Season Rooms" or add shutters on the porch to create more privacy and shade. See the images below.

As far as the combination of louvers and bermudas, we think that is a great combo. It is totally up to you and your design preferences on your home, but when dealing with customers who place bermudas on their home we recommend fixed or operable louvered shutters because they "match."

For the bigger windows, in order for the shutters to be functional you would need bi-fold shutters. So that you close the shutters when deemed necessary and they will fit over the windows. We are able to create any style or type of shutter for you in any size so that will not be a problem.

We have all of the hardware in stock and ready to be shipped, so functional hardware again would not be an issue.

Please be sure to call us at 1-800-250-2221 and press 2 for customer service, Barry. One of our customer service reps will assign you to a shutter specialist and you will be able to go forward with the design process. They will be able to answer all of your questions and guide you through the process one step at a time.
