Custom Shutters – shutters in your own style
A lot of companies claim to sell custom shutters, although they may actually be selling customized interior shutters. Custom shutters will start as pre-built individual stock size shutter panels, which are then cut down and hinged together to achieve a specific size of shutter.
This will generally result in shutters that are a poor fit for the windows of your home. The shutters aren’t proportional to the window size and depending on how much of it was trimmed, the panels themselves may also be compromised.
Synthetic shutters on the other hand, normally use pre-made stiles, rails, and louvers, then cut them to size for quick production. This can also result in an improper fit and components that aren’t in proportion to the window.
Other companies out there sell custom-made shutters, which are shutters specifically made from the start for each individual window. Even though this may sound very nice, the results are normally those you wouldn’t want to display on your home. With your home being very important, the last thing you want is shoddy shutters.
Custom shutters are fabricated so that all stiles and rails can be uniformed throughout the house or office. Even though they claim the custom-made shutters are perfectly made for your windows, it generally isn’t the case
When you go out and purchase shutters, you should always avoid companies that sell ready-made custom shutters. Instead, you should use the old-fashioned method and measure what you need, then go out and buy.
This way, you’ll know exactly what you need to buy. You can select the custom shutters you like the best, even those that match the interior or exterior of your home. Before you know it, you’ll have the custom shutters you’ve always wanted – your way.
