Frequently Asked Questions

What are full height exterior shutters?

Full height exterior shutters cover your entire window opening in continuous panels without a divider rail. This traditional style creates clean vertical lines and authentic architectural character. Available in functional designs that close across your windows for light control and protection, or decorative styles installed as fixed accents, full height shutters come in wood, composite, fiberglass, and PVC materials. Each shutter is custom-built to fit your exact frame dimensions, with louvers or solid panels depending on your preferred style and the architectural character of your home.

Full height shutter costs in Auburn vary based on material selection, window size, finish options, and whether you choose functional or decorative designs. Wood shutters represent a higher investment, while composite and PVC options offer strong value for the quality. Because every project uses custom shutters built to your exact specifications, we provide detailed estimates after we measure your windows and discuss your preferences. Contact us to request a free consultation and an accurate quote tailored to your project.

In Auburn's humid subtropical climate, several materials perform well. Fiberglass handles intense heat and year-round moisture with minimal upkeep, which makes it ideal for Lake Martin properties. Composite shutters resist humidity and high temperatures while delivering wood aesthetics at a lower maintenance level. Wood shutters deliver amazing texture and authentic beauty but require more attention to protect against moisture over time. PVC offers excellent weather resistance without warping or fading. Our team brings samples and helps you determine the best match for your site, sun exposure, and how you want to maintain your shutters over the years.

Full height shutters are available in both functional and decorative designs. Functional shutters mount on hinges with authentic hardware, allowing them to close and secure across your windows for light control, ventilation, and security. Decorative shutters install as fixed architectural accents on your window frame without operational capability. The choice depends on your priorities and budget. Many customers combine functional shutters on street-facing windows with decorative shutters on other openings for a cost-effective approach that maintains an authentic look across the entire house.

From initial consultation to completed installation, full height shutter projects typically take three to six weeks depending on material and finish selections. Vinyl shutters generally arrive within one week. Composite and unfinished wood options need three to four weeks for custom fabrication. Painted or stained wood shutters require four to six weeks to ensure quality finishing. The installation itself typically completes in one day for most homes, though larger projects may vary. We note all measurements carefully and confirm every detail before ordering so the process stays on schedule.

Yes. Full height shutters can be custom-built for arched windows and other specialty shapes. We measure the exact angles and dimensions of your window opening, then fabricate shutters to match those specifications in ¼" increments. Whether you have full arches, eyebrow windows, or other unique shapes, our fabrication capabilities cover the opening without gaps. For complex window shapes, we'll discuss the best approach during your consultation to determine how to cover the opening while maintaining your home's architectural character.

Full height shutters provide excellent light control and privacy. Functional shutters with louvers adjust to reduce glare while still allowing filtered light into the room. When closed, they block direct sunlight and prevent neighbors from seeing inside. This makes them a strong choice for street-facing windows where privacy matters. The uninterrupted panels cover the entire opening from top to bottom, unlike café shutters that only cover a partial window. You control the light level in any room by adjusting louver angles throughout the day.

Full height describes a shutter's dimension, meaning panels cover the entire window height. Board and batten describes a construction style featuring solid vertical boards with horizontal or diagonal battens. Board and batten shutters can be full height or shorter. Full height shutters are also available in louvered designs with adjustable slats. Board and batten suits farmhouse, rustic, and cottage architecture, while louvered full height shutters complement traditional, colonial, and plantation styles. We sell both construction types in multiple materials so you can match your home's character and create the look you want.
