Hardwood Shutters- The Best Option for Custom Shutters

There are many types of shutters out there, such as aluminum, fiberglass and vinyl and they all have their respective benefits.

Top-quality hardwood custom exterior shutters (http://www.estatemillwork.com/custom-shutters.html) can last for decades, giving you plenty of value for your choice.

Environmentally Friendly Practices

Estate Millwork's hardwood suppliers are located in the Western Pennsylvania Allegheny Mountains, and are all sustainably run domestic and imported forests. Estate Millwork has also invested significantly in getting maximum value out of each piece of lumber they use, making the whole process green-friendly.

Estate's facilities reflect this dedication to environmental-consciousness as well. During manufacturing hours, Estate Millwork strives to keep excess to a minimum by monitoring use of utilities like heating and cooling, recycling and making efficient use of every piece of wood we purchase. This conservative philosophy results in lower operating costs for us, which we are able to pass on as lower costs for you, the customer.

Additionally, Custom wood shutters can give any household a classic feel, and using high-grade hardwoods can help you see a real impact on property value.

Custom Shutter Expertise

Estate Millwork has centuries of experience which shows through the process our expert craftsmen go through to construct each custom shutter. Long, singles cuts of high-grade, FAS hardwoods are used for each construction. This is in comparison with cost-cutting techniques by some companies to use mixed pieces of wood, resulting in shutters that can be more easily damaged and cracked. We hand-pick each piece of wood to be used, conducting thorough inspections on all materials used to ensure maximum quality and durability. Our workers employ time-proven techniques such as mortise-tenon joinery that have been perfected throughout their family for generations of craftsmanship.

Our expertise covers a wide range of tasks, with specialties in wood duties such as finishing, millwork and drying. Our employees are also very customer friendly, so for any potential questions you may have, feel free to call our custom exterior shutter specialists at 1 (866) 322-0040.

Simple Design Process

If you don't know exactly what you're looking for, utilize our Custom wood shutter (http://www.estatemillwork.com/custom-wood-shutters.html) design tool to start out. This tool can help you get an idea of what you might want in a shutter in terms of patterns and style. For example, say you decide that you're interested in a nice pair of louvered shutters. From there you can select from various woods such as Cedar, Oak and Mahogany and from nine different shutter styles such as Ashville, Charleston and Charlotte. Or if you're not able to find a style that exactly matches what you imagine to be the perfect inclusion to your windows, you can specify just about every aspect of the design procedure. Areas you can change include: panel profiles, depth, material, privacy panels, finishes, sub stiles, rail placement, and panel moldings. You can even send us a sketch of what you want and we'll make it to your exact requests.

From the moment you contact us with specifications for your custom wood shutter, we will be able to provide you with an estimate usually within the same day, so you don't have to wait. After that and once terms are agreed upon, the construction process usually takes around three to four weeks, depending on your custom requirements.
