Louvered Shutters

The louvered shutter is the oldest shutter style and to this day is still the most popular. In fact when most people hear the term "shutters", louver shutters are what first come to mind. Louvers are horizontal slats that are angled to control the amount of light and air that can pass through. Louvered shutters mounted on functional shutter hinges are one of the few shutter styles that allow light and air to pass through when closed - which makes them ideal for both solar control and home energy efficiency. Operable shutters with louvers are the style of choice for those who are green building conscious. However, even if louvered shutters are only installed for decorative purposes they still provide a unique look that most homeowners love. Modern exterior louvered shutters typically come with fixed louvers which means there are no moving parts that require maintenance or that can break over time.
