Matching original woodwork
With 34% of homes this old, many still have stained trim and doors. Name the stain, or send a photo of the trim beside a window, and we match the shutters to it. Poplar's colour varies from board to board, so a stained shutter looks like natural wood rather than one flat colour.

Where our shutters fit

The designer shows the price of each window as you add it, in US dollars.
