FLAT BEADED "Z" Frame with Arches, Sill Cut

Here is what we call our Flat Beaded Z Frame. Notice the beaded edge
on the outside portion of the Frame. Shown here with Fan-top arches and
bottom sills. We have matched the beaded edge profile on the arches to
match the look of the frame of the rectangles below. Shown here with 4.5" louvers.

Classic Texture with Bull-Nose Z Frame PLUS Fan top Arch

We also build shutters in the form of FAN TOP arch shapes. The FAN TOP is a classic design to cover such openings. These arches are hand made at our shop by one of our experienced craftsman. These are a true work of art! Each slat is moveable, allowing you to dictate how much light you want entering the room. For this application we match the Bull-Nose "Z" frame of the rectangle shutter below.

Classic Texture with Bull-Nose Z Frame

Here is a look at our Classic Texture shutter with our bull-nose Z frame. Also notice a few of the shutters sit on sills. For this type window (with a sill) we cut the bull-nose off of the bottom frame...we call this a "SILL CUT". This particular shutter was painted to match the sill.

What Kind of Wood Do We Use?

Potential customers often ask us "What type of wood does your company use?"

Our answer is simple... We have been manufacturing shutters using AMERICAN BASSWOOD since our inception in 1991. Some companies use Pine and Poplar while others use Plastic and Poly. We have always used 100% Kiln-Dried Basswood for our shutters. Using any material in place of Basswood is a shortcut...something we are not interested in doing!
