Cottage BackBay Shutter

Louvers or panels. Top or bottom. Confused? Try the Lighthouse.

The BackBay is a perfectly balanced window shutter with one Raised Panel above, and one field of Louvers below. A dividing rail separates the two fields, and gives the shutter added strength. This design is a perfect combination of strength, protection, and good airflow. The standard thickness is 1 5/16" with 3/8" X 1 3/4" real louvers, but the dimensions can be modified to exactly match existing or historical shutters. Built with true mortise and tenon joinery, and pegged with authentic hardwood dowels, these handsome and functional shutters will beautify any home.

These elegant shutters can be ordered with a number of options ranging from operable louvers to radius tops, and there are a variety of custom details that can be included in the design: customized rails and stiles, inlays, and custom sticking profiles. Most commonly, our window shutters are manufactured from Spanish Cedar or Western Red Cedar, although Estate Millwork can fabricate them from almost any type of wood.
