Layouts
Pick a layout per window. The designer draws it to your sizes as you go.
The wood
American poplar
Every Shutter Boys shutter is made from premium American poplar, a hardwood, painted or stained.
Every room. In bathrooms and laundry rooms, run the fan so steam doesn’t sit behind closed louvers.
| Wood | American poplar |

Moulding and paint
Level 1 (flat)
Square-edged stiles and rails with no routed profile. Clean and simple.
Level 2
Level 3 (moulded)
Stiles and rails with a routed, stepped profile that catches the light, like traditional joinery.
Paint finish
Choose paint stage 1, 2 or 3 for any moulding level: they mix and match.
Louver size
Wider louvers give a clearer view when open. Narrower ones suit small windows.
| Louver width | Where it suits |
|---|---|
| 2.5 in (64 mm) | Small windows and a traditional look. More louvers, so less view when open. |
| 3.5 in (89 mm) | The middle ground most windows suit. |
| 4.5 in (114 mm) | Large windows and doors. Fewest louvers and the widest view when open, but the window needs more depth. |
Tilt
Front rod, middle
The classic look. One rod down the centre moves every louver in the section.
Front rod, to one side
Set near the left or right stile, so the middle of the view stays clear and the rod is easy to reach.
Back rod
The rod sits on the window side, so from the room you see only the louvers.
Hidden tilt
No rod at all. The mechanism is hidden in the side of the panel; move any louver and the rest follow.
Front or back, a rod can sit on the left, in the middle or on the right. Choose it per window in the designer.
Before you order
Inside mount or outside mount?
Inside mount sits within the window opening and looks built in, but the opening needs enough depth for the louvers to tilt. Outside mount sits on the wall or trim around the window and suits shallow or out-of-square openings.
How many panels will my window need?
It depends on the width. The designer suggests a panel count as you enter sizes, and we confirm the layout with you before anything is made.
What are the shutters made of?
American poplar, a hardwood, for every shutter we make. It takes paint smoothly and can also be stained. In bathrooms and laundry rooms, run the fan so steam doesn’t sit behind closed louvers.
