Solid panel shutters are available in Basswood, Cedar and Pearlwood. There are four styles of solid shutter, there are the Raised panels, the Moulded panels, the Shaker panels and the Solid Based panels.
The solid panel shutters are very similar to the Victorian window shutters that were often made from Pine. The solid panel shutters can be used as a replacement for the victorian style but only if fitted as a complete set. For example you cannot have old and new shutters together because the styles are slightly different, plus it would be almost impossible to match the colour of antique pine with modern factory processes.
When considering solid shutters it's important that you have enough space in the window recess to open the shutters fully. If you don't have enough room inside the recess then you will need space either side of the window opening so the shutters can open fully. With solid panels they are either open or closed. The louvre shutters are intended to stay closed and for you to use the louvre's to control the light. If in doubt take a digital photo and send it to us then we will be able to advise you better.
