Louver Shutters

This historically accurate louvered shutter was engineered to mimic a shutter dating back to the early 1800’s. The louver placement, thickness and spacing gives this shutter a more robust appearance. Many people in the industry refer to this size of shutter as an Architectural Shutter.  The stiles and rails are 1-3/8″ thick. The face of the stiles (vertical pieces with mortise holes) have a 2-1/2″ face. The profiles for the top, mid and bottom rails all mimic how shutters were once hand crafted.

Bahama Shutters

Bahama shutters are believed to have originated in the Caribbean or the Tropics. These beautiful shutters limit the amount of light entering the window and help reduce the heat load created by sunlight. In addition to reducing the heat load, they allow for good ventilation or cross breeze to flow through open windows. By adjusting the tilt rods more or less light can be allowed to pass between the louvers.

Typically, these shutters are used on wider or larger windows.  With a shutter coving such a wide area and such little support, in many cases the shutter can start to sag over the years on all material types. When Aeratis Custom Bahama shutters are manufactured by Aeratis, we include hidden stiffening rods to stop the shutters from ever sagging. You can now have beautiful shutter that look and feel like wood without the deficiencies of aluminum or inferior wood products.
