Maneuverability of Shutters

Shutters have a variety of options that allow you to customize how much light is let in by way of tilting the louvers up or down, or hinging them entirely open to see an unobstructed view outside. Tilting the louvers, or individual wood panels down permits privacy while maximizing the light coming through the window. Particularly if you choose a light paint color for your shutters, you will be able to enjoy the light softly reflecting off of the louvers while still maintaining privacy. Louvers can be controlled individually, known as clear view side control, or via classic center tilt rod control.

Alternately, If you wish to have a completely clear view outside, you can fold each shutter entirely out of the way. As a result of their durability, shutters can withstand years of louver and hinge maneuverability and are an excellent choice for window coverings in your home or office.

Looking for a custom window covering that adds privacy to your home while still allowing for maximal interior light? As we all know, western Washington is known for its abundance of overcast days and it is important to many people who reside in Seattle, Kirkland, Renton, Bellevue, and the surrounding areas to create light-filled and relaxing spaces. Wood shutters are the perfect solution to this problem as they permit optimal light control and privacy while maximizing the light level in your home. See the photos below for examples.

Choose Newport Custom Shutters for your Window Covering Needs

Choosing Newport Custom Shutters to design and manufacture custom wooden shutters for your home in white or similarly light colored paint finishes will optimize light reflection and create a sense of an airy kitchen, living room, bedroom, or bathroom. Tilting the louvers on your shutters up will decrease the light in your room and help to cool your home during summer or promote sleep during daytime hours such as for a kids’ room or for those who work night shifts. Tilting the louvers on your shutters down will allow you to have privacy in your home but refract the light in such a way that maintains most of the ambient light coming from outside.

With specialty shapes, a template is made onsite and then brought back to our woodshop in Redmond to be fabricated. Much of the manufacture is done entirely by hand. This produces a truly splendid result that will be enjoyed for years to come. View the gallery below for examples of custom-made shutters for unique windows.
