SOLD IN PAIRS. Our premium cedar shutters are made from 1" thick red western cedar boards and connected with tongue and groove for added strength. Our competitors use thinner 3/4" boards and their shutters are often made without tongue and groove leading to gaps, warping, twisting, weakness, and a much shorter lifespan. Red western cedar is an ideal wood for exterior shutters due to it's natural ability to resist rotting and insects.

The board and batten shutter design is making a comeback as the perfect design to add a modern farmhouse touch to your home. Shutters come unfinished ready to be stained and/or sealed. These shutters are available in heights up to 96" high and in a width of 14", 16", 18" or 21.25". Click for a custom quote or call us toll free at 888-505-7715. Most sizes available online by selecting from the drop down menu above.

There are two methods to install cedar shutters: direct set or on hinges. Direct set involves directly screwing the shutters to the house, whereas hinges allow the use of metal hardware to add a more upscale look to your shutters. The recommended number of New York style hinges for our cedar shutters are as follows:

31" - 47": 2 hinges (4 hinges/pair)
48" - 95": 3 hinges (6 hinges/pair)

What is height fraction? Height fraction is if you need a shutter whose height is not a whole number. For example for a 63 1/2" tall shutter you will select a 63" tall shutter and select 1/2" for the height fraction.

What is "True Radius Top" and "Low Arch Top"? If "True Arch Top" is selected the shutter will be made with a perfect quarter circle top instead of being square at top. If you do not want a curved top please select "No Thanks" for this option. If "Low Arch Top" is selected then the shutter will be made such that the shorter side is 5 inches shorter than the selected height of the shutter with a low arc. Custom Arc tops with custom curves are also available but can only be done by phone or email at sales@flowerwindowboxes.com.

All board and batten cedar shutters are currently not available factory stained, however, they arrive to the customer stain ready with any exterior stain. Simply apply stain with a rag, roller, or sprayer. All shutters are custom made to order and thus non-returnable. You can order one of our small pre-made sample shutters first and return it if you would like to see the shutters in person prior to placing a large order. We'll also gladly send you out a small square material sample for free upon request if you'd just like to see, feel, and touch the quality prior to purchasing.

Measuring Windows for Exterior Shutters First

The First step before you even measure your windows is to decide whether or not you want standard generic size shutters or custom shutters for your window. The difference is as follows (read and see diagram):

1. Generic Sizing: Simply going with the same width shutter on every window, typically 14.5"
2. Custom: Getting shutters to match the size of the window or in instances where the window is too large you will simply get proportionally larger shutters for larger windows (See diagram below)



Nowadays, windows are made so custom that many times they can be 6', 8', 10 foot long and even longer. This just was not the case in the old days. For this reason it is common practice to simply get proportionally larger shutters for instances of windows exceeding 4 feet wide. It's usually not practical to put 5 foot wide shutters on either side of a 10 foot window.

Our recommendation for custom sizing is to put 18.5" shutters on windows sized 4 foot wide and wider than that. For windows smaller than 3 feet we recommend 14.5" wide shutters. This will give the look of the shutters in the diagram on the top right. For non-custom generic measuring you will only need to measure the height of the window to get the sizes you need and you will pick a width that you feel best matches the windows on your house, most typically 14.5" wide.

To measure the width of the window, simply take a tape measure from one end to the other. Do not include any trim around the window in your measurement. You want to imagine that your shutters could close and cover the window up. The parts of the window that you are logically covering up are what you are measuring.
