California shutters are made with pressure treated wooden exterior plywood boards which when installed can offer many amazing benefits including protection against mold growth inside your home. Wood is always going to be the most popular choice because they provide energy savings, durability advantages along with other impressive benefits. They keep the heat and cold outside while allowing cool air and light in through an insulating layer of the board material.
Some of these things include having no blind spots, being able to easily clean them due to the fact they fit flush to walls without needing screws, are easy to install, do not rot or damage property like vinyl does; as well as providing long term high value. And just recently, wood shutters came back around after a brief fall from popularity in 2019. So we are happy to bring this technology back and help homeowners who love natural materials get beautiful custom shuttered windows while saving money by installing locally instead of hiring out professional installs.

In today’s video I’m going to show you how to use Twitter Ads campaign manager tool effectively. If you’ve ever used Facebook ads then you are familiar with campaigns manager. But this isn’t really the same thing. Campaign management tools differ depending upon whether or not it supports mobile apps or web applications. These two type of advertising programs work totally different ways. Let me explain why. For example, when someone searches on Twitter, how should Twitter display search terms to match those keywords? Should Twitter ask people to rephrase phrases or words or will it find tweets where exactly matches the phrase appear? Well, in my opinion, both methods could work. We’re gonna see how to apply those type tactics during campaign design phase. First, click “Create Ad Set” under campaign tab. Then you’ll find several options including general settings plus location targeting.
Twitter offers four types of geotargeting: place target, language and country focus, hashtag, city and zip code focus. Choose whichever suits for your needs. After choosing geotargets, enter keyword. Next step will pop-out a dropdown menu asking question regarding bid price. Enter 0 or leave blank. At last you’ll create ad group.

•What’s Different About Wooden Shutters?: The popularity of wooden shutters continues to rise across America because they offer a unique combination of style, durability, energy efficiency and sustainability. They’re made from locally grown timber trees harvested from sustainable forests.
There are several types of different woods used in manufacturing CaliShutter’s premium grade shutters. These include cedar, cypress, redwood, fir/pine and sassafras; which each provide varying characteristics and benefits. Our proprietary engineered lumber combines select species and layers of veneer together to yield both superior durability and exceptional strength. Read on below to find out which type of wood gives you the most value.
Wood
Vinyl
PVC vinyl windows aren’t actually window coverings but rather frames constructed primarily of PVC plastic. They’re sometimes called “window panels” instead of “windows.” Some people call them wood blinds instead of shutters, however the difference is really quite small… Vinyl windows are manufactured according to ISO standards or UBC standards (Uniform Building Code). They come in various shapes and sizes, including square, rectangular, round, oval and bay openings.
This post discusses some general differences between wooden and vinyl California shutters. Wooden shutters generally refer to those products sold through independent retailers while vinyl refers to those sold through manufacturers like ShutterBoys. When comparing these options be sure to know whether a product is designed specifically for use as outdoor or indoor shutters (see below). For example…

This post will be updated regularly to reflect changes in products, styles, and technologies, but these are some of the most popular types of shutters currently available today.
We believe that choosing the correct type of window shutters is like choosing a style and color combination for your home; just like matching colors, style choices aren’t always obvious. But they’re certainly worth considering, because each makes a big impact visually, which ultimately affects overall curb appeal and resale value. Here are some factors to consider when deciding whether a wooden plantation shutter would work best for you.
What’s Your Budget Looking For?
There is no question that the price tag is the first thing people notice when shopping for windows. When picking out window shutters, keep this rule in mind: “If spending less than half of 1% of your annual net income sounds unreasonable…” Well then…you probably won’t get a wooden plantation shutter.
How Much Space Does Your Window Have?
Many different sizes and shapes of shutters exist. Some even come as custom designed shutter panels. If you’ve got a wide enough opening and/or high ceilings, it may be possible to install larger shutter doors without having them overlap onto the wall. Of course, smaller openings call for shorter shutters. We typically recommend choosing short paneled models (12 inches or fewer), especially if they’ll cover only part of the window space. These can be installed flush against the existing glass panes, while leaving extra clearance above the top edge of the panels. They can often be painted as well, helping to hide unsightly framing around the edges of traditional casements and louvers.
Are You Planning On Using Them Often?
While shutters provide many benefits, they will obviously take up valuable real estate, making you feel cramped inside once closed; however, they can help reduce energy costs, lower cooling bills, cut down light leakage, improve soundproofing, protect belongings, control sunlight exposure, block prying eyes, and increase privacy. So, if those things matter to you, then chances are good you’d enjoy having them.

1️⃣ We believe that California shuttering should be a great experience. Not just something that needs to be taken care of after the sale of a home but part of a homeowner’s investment. A beautiful addition that will bring joy into your day and life. Our products include some of the most sought after color palettes like French Blue & Beige Brown and Grey Oakwood with Black Wood. We stand behind the quality and craftsmanship of everything we sell which makes us proud of every project we perform with our customers. As we say, “We’re building homes.” So…we get it. Your home deserves better.
2️⃣ If I could describe my personality in 1 word, it would be: Passionate. I live with purpose; always making the most of each moment. While I’m working on projects around this website, you’ll find me spending countless hours researching various topics related to house improvement. When my kids ask why I love doing those things so much, my answer is simply because they help keep my wife and I busy, happy, and engaged as well as learning something new along the way. And we’ve gotten really good at putting together furniture sets and designing landscaping designs. #CaliforniaShutterGuy ? @shuttershadow
3️⃣ Quality, reliability, trustworthiness, value, and service go hand and hand. We only use certified installers whom are knowledgeable to provide outstanding workmanship at the same time providing exceptional customer service.
4️⃣ Most importantly, if they don’t deliver exactly as promised, there isn’t going to be a next payment! All payments must occur within 30 days of delivery/installation per California Code Section 52644.5(d).

There are many reasons why homeowners love installing shutters; they provide privacy protection, reduce heating/cooling costs, protect against damage caused by UV rays, decrease noise pollution inside homes, increase security and curb property value appreciation, and help improve home aesthetics.
Many people find themselves confused when selecting which type of shutters will work well for them. As technology advances, there is no shortage of options available to enhance today’s traditional window treatments including blinds, curtains & roman shades, roller shades, draperies and more. When evaluating different types of products, consider the following characteristics when deciding whether a particular design will work well inside your home.

This article explains everything you need to consider before choosing a specific style. I’ll discuss some tips and suggestions along the way, but this isn’t meant to be comprehensive. Do yourself a favor and learn as much as possible before making a final decision by visiting manufacturers’ websites, attending trade shows, doing research online, reading reviews, talking to professional installers, going through sample swatches and checking sizing charts. Ultimately, pick a solution that speaks to you — something that makes sense aesthetically, fits your personality, inspires you every day and adds depth and character to your space.
Designer shutters come in hundreds of styles, ranging from basic vertical louvers to elaborate plantation designs, decorative paneled versions and sophisticated French doors. They’re made either from natural materials like wood, vinyl, fiberglass, paperboard plastic and metal sheets, or manufactured polymers such as acrylic, PVC, aluminum and steel. Most models offer either stationary or retractable functionality. Some manufacturers produce both stationary and retractable varieties while others specialize solely in one. All are offered in standard sizes starting with small panels measuring 7 inches wide x 27 inches tall up to large patio door systems offering nearly 10 feet across. If size is not an issue, you could select multiple smaller panels together rather than fewer larger ones, though most people prefer having full length panels on each side of the opening. A few manufacturers are selling custom-sized panels with various frame profiles, allowing you to select a width that matches the height of your windows perfectly without cutting or trimming frames down.

In this article I am going to talk through some common questions regarding window treatments and then provide my top picks for the best windows treatment products available today, including both custom made options and ready to hang solutions. These tips will guide you towards finding not only great quality but great prices as well. And while custom orders should always be considered, they really aren’t necessary if your requirements fit into these categories and you just want something quick and easy to install.
1). Do I Need Custom Made Windows Treatment Products?
No you shouldn’t. For most people who buy shutters/window coverings, custom made products are not required unless the size and placement of those items dictate otherwise. If you’re interested in getting something a little different than the standard sizes offered, go ahead and get them cut however you’d like. Be honest with yourself though, because if you do decide that’s what you want to purchase, chances are good that if you’ve had trouble buying blinds previously, the same problem won’t occur during the ordering process.
2). Where Can I Find Great Deals & Discounts From Local Shops Around Me?
There are plenty of places around me that sell window covering products for reasonable costs. Check craigslist local stores near you, check local home improvement websites (such as HGTV), and try asking friends, neighbors, co workers, relatives, etc. Many times home centers offer sales on window treatment products as part of seasonal deals during peak season months. Even big box retailers often sell window treatments for cheaper than other locations in their retail areas. Just keep checking around and see where you find the best price, especially during holiday seasons since many manufacturers typically put extra emphasis on discounts as opposed to promotions or advertising campaigns.
3). Does Size Really Matter?
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. As mentioned above, if you live somewhere you cannot have sliding glass doors, a certain style of door frame, large picture frames, etc. there is definitely merit in paying attention to whether or not sizing matters depending on your individual needs for each type of item you order. If you have small children and pets that tend to knock things down often, then choosing larger sized shades may help prevent damage caused by frequent drops in temperature.

If I was going to recommend just one company for shutters, it would be Shutterboys because they provide excellent customer service, high quality products, are committed to excellence, work well with other companies like us who help install them, and they come highly recommended.
Cost wise, these shutters will run around $400-$700 for 2×6 single hung windows, but depending upon the size window being installed, this price could go higher.

We also like them because unlike some manufacturers, they offer installation through our installer partners. I always ask my clients whether they prefer a DIY project (do it yourself) for installing shutters or if I should send someone else (me, usually). A lot of people opt for DIY projects, which saves me gas money, and helps maintain control over the job.
Here’s why we love Shutterboy shutters:
1. We get great prices. If we ever buy a big order, we tell them ahead of time since we already use Shutterboys for smaller orders. When we call and say “Hey, we’d like 100” they’ll often beat those prices. They’re really good guys. Plus there is no sales tax collected unless shipped outside TX; it only applies online.
2. Quality. These shutters are made in house. All of the measurements match. We haven’t found another shutter manufacturer that does this yet.
3. Service/Installations. As far as I’m concerned there isn’t anything better than getting something you ordered delivered to your door by a pro who did exactly what he said and left everything clean. Most importantly, he gets along well with the client, communicates effectively, and gets things done quickly. So many folks try to sell themselves to customers that way we appreciate having someone whose sole focus is on making the experience perfect for each individual home owner.
4. Warranty. For as long as I’ve used them, I’ve had zero problems and am impressed every time we need something fixed or replaced. I trust them completely.
5. We’re excited to support a small business we trust. Their dedication to doing great work makes us feel good in supporting them.

In this guide we will talk about the newest trend that many homeowners are starting to use in their home improvement projects; motorization. We believe this technology offers a lot more value than just having shades come down/go up, although those benefits are still present. But we really like how it opens up even more potential uses for these products. For instance, instead of being able to get shade only while someone is outside, they could be used during certain times of day or even different weather conditions. Also, the ability to automate opening and closing, especially outdoors, adds functionality and convenience. If you already own some shutters, then check out our latest posts for updates on the newest innovations available today. Otherwise, keep reading below and see which best fit your lifestyle or project needs.
Motorization Options Available Today
The most common way people go about installing custom shutters is through traditional hand operated controls. However, motorization options are becoming increasingly popular among shutter installers across the country. These motors allow for easy control whether it be automatic operation or manual override. And as a homeowner, there is no easier way to ensure comfort in your home without having to manually adjust each window every time you leave. With automatic operation, you simply leave, knowing the windows will automatically close behind you. As long as power stays on and temperature remains below freezing, they should stay closed until you return. Most models include wireless remote controls allowing full customization of settings. Many manufacturers offer an optional battery backup system that keeps operations working even after loss of electricity. Some models even provide additional functions including heat detection, air infiltration monitoring, rain sensor triggering, humidity sensing, nightlight, photocell light sensors, auto lighting control, and more. All that makes them perfect for modern homes and commercial buildings alike. Here are some key features of shutters we recommend for a seamless experience:
• Automatic Operation — Automatically closes upon removal from building exterior, or opens upon reentry of vehicle.
• Programmable Lighting & Control Features — Can be controlled remotely via smartphone app or wired controller.
• Battery Backup System — Allows continued closure/opening capability in case of lost electric grid power.
• Weatherproofing — Allows the unit to withstand adverse outdoor climates.

(https://shutterboys.typeform.com/to/4PVdR9). We’re excited to announce that Shutterboy will be manufacturing premium window shutters exclusively for us at www.shutterbosses.net. Our mission was always about great style & high quality products but until recently hadn’t had anyone making them locally. As many of you already know, I’m from Texas originally but lived in Germany my whole life. When I moved back home I spent most of my days hanging around family members who loved the house we grew up in almost like a shrine. They used it for entertaining often hosting large dinner parties where everyone would get dressed up and sit outside on picnic tables eating good food and drinking bad beer. Then they’d go inside after while where lots of people just watched movies & TV shows and hungout together. Every single weekend during summer vacation they did this same thing only bigger and better because they went swimming instead of sitting around watching tv. Growing up with a dad who’s love of German architecture inspired me to design windows that mimic those cool European homes which led me down the road to building unique products made in America that make great rooms. My company designs everything ourselves then manufactures products entirely within the U. S. market. We’ve got some interesting ideas coming out next season including custom wood blinds designed specifically for California climate conditions. These windows aren’t just “pretty” either. The quality is unmatched for most other brands and every part comes off a machine. We’ll keep these posts going monthly since we’ve built an enormous following in your town for years now through word of mouth referrals. Thanks for checking us out here, thanks for sending these guys our way! And remember that no matter where you live…there’s someone in your area making stuff just like this. Please consider supporting our efforts though, buying a few items helps. Also, check out https://www.facebook.com/ShuttleBosses if you haven’t heard about them yet.
So far, there hasn’t really been anything special about installing exterior shutters for me.
