Jacksonville's Climate: The Importance of Weather-Resistant Shutters
Jacksonville's subtropical climate presents unique challenges for exterior wood shutters. Average humidity hovers around 75%, with temperatures ranging from lows in the 40s Fahrenheit in winter to highs in the 90s during summer. Annual rainfall averages around 50 inches, and Jacksonville experiences a high UV index, often reaching 9 or 10 in the summer months. These conditions demand wood species that resist moisture, decay, and UV damage. Spanish Cedar is an excellent choice due to its natural oils and resistance to insects and rot. Mahogany and Cypress are also highly suitable, providing durability and dimensional stability in Jacksonville's humid environment. Teak is also a highly recommended option for enhanced durability.
Exterior Shutters to Complement Jacksonville's Architecture
Jacksonville boasts a diverse architectural landscape. The Mediterranean Revival style, seen throughout Avondale, pairs beautifully with louvered or raised panel exterior shutters. Craftsman bungalows in Springfield benefit from the simple elegance of board and batten shutters or flat panel shutters. Bahama shutters offer a stylish and functional addition to coastal homes in Neptune Beach, providing shade and hurricane protection. The stately Colonial Revival homes in Ortega are ideally suited for raised panel shutters, while the more modern architecture of Atlantic Beach can be enhanced with sleek flat panel or louvered designs. Estate Millwork can customize shutters to perfectly match any Jacksonville architectural style.
Top Wood Choices for Jacksonville Shutters
For Jacksonville's climate, we recommend Spanish Cedar, Mahogany, and Cypress for exterior shutters. Spanish Cedar's natural oils provide exceptional resistance to rot and insects, making it a durable choice. Mahogany offers superior strength and stability, resisting warping and cracking in high humidity. Cypress is naturally water-resistant and withstands the elements with minimal maintenance. For all species, use a high-quality exterior-grade primer and paint or stain with UV inhibitors to protect against sun damage. Regular cleaning and reapplication of finish every few years will ensure long-lasting beauty.
A Note About Jacksonville
Ask any local and they'll tell you: Jacksonville's architectural heritage is alive and well, particularly in neighborhoods like San Marco and Avondale. Restoring original architectural details, including shutters, is a point of pride for many homeowners, and Estate Millwork is happy to contribute to that tradition with historically accurate and durable designs.
