Basswood Shutters

Features and Benefits

product_wood_02 Basswood shutters are fine pieces of furniture, custom built for your windows. Shutters have timeless appeal coupled with the benefits of energy efficiency, which translates to savings on energy bills. That combination brings tangible, positive appreciation to any home. Shutters are, and will continue to be, a solid investment for homeowners.

Basswood is a strong, light material that has a greater strength-to-weight ratio in its natural form than any other wood product. That strength enables more custom shapes including longer louvers and extensions not possible with plastic or inferior wood products.

Basswood shutters have the best combination of several desirable traits:

Wood is the standard that all others compare themselves to; it is the natural choice and provides a custom fit.
Basswood has the most consistent color among domestic hardwoods with a very tight and uniform grain.
One of the hardest of the workable, furniture-grade woods.
Basswood is naturally low in sap content, our kiln-dried basswood has less moisture upon installation than other woods.
Environmentally sound, basswood shutters are recyclable, biodegradable, and renewable. We purchase only from mills that meet the procurement provisions of the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI®) Standard.
Ease of maintenance and care.
Exceptional insulation from heat and cold.
Our basswood shutters are painted with UV inhibiting paint, guaranteeing UV protection.
