Give your facade a classic and well-kept look with made-to-measure wooden window shutters. The line pattern adds depth and character, while the shutter looks lighter than a solid panel shutter. Choose a decorative decorative shutter next to the window or a functional window shutter that you can open and close.
Because we fully customise window shutters, you can tailor the design to your home. From line width and frame to colour, fittings and operation: every detail contributes to a shutter that matches the style of your facade.
Wooden window shutters are classic exterior shutters that we install next to the window and give the facade a well-kept, characterful look. You will recognise this type of shutter by its flat wooden surface with a milled line pattern. This gives the shutter depth without making it look as closed and heavy as a solid panel shutter.
Customers regularly choose window shutters for country houses, farmhouses, classic facades and 1930s houses. At the same time, they also fit well in modern homes where a warm, traditional detail is desired. Depending on the version, you use the window shutter as a decorative ornamental shutter or as a functional shutter that you can open and close.
The line pattern largely determines the appearance of the window shutter. The lines create relief and give the shutter an artisanal finish. By varying the width, depth and distance, a subtle or, on the contrary, emphatic facade appearance can be created.
In case of customisation, we match this pattern to the style of your home. A finer line pattern often suits classic facades. A wider or quieter pattern gives the shutter a more robust look.
Wooden window shutters enhance the style of a house without dominating the facade. In traditional houses, they blend beautifully with classic window frames, brick and rustic details. In modern homes, on the other hand, they provide contrast and warmth.
Colour plays a major role. Dark green, black, cream, blue or anthracite each produce a different effect. Matching the colour to window frames, doors or eaves creates a calm and sophisticated whole.
Functional wooden window shutters can contribute to privacy, security and insulation. When you close the shutters, they shield the window from view and give the façade an extra protective layer. They also limit direct sunlight and can help keep out cold or heat a little better.
The exact effect depends on the design, mounting and gap sealing. A decorative decorative shutter primarily has a visual function. A functional window shutter offers more practical benefits.
Not every home requires a functional shutter. Sometimes a permanently mounted decorative shutter is the best choice, for example when you mainly want to improve the appearance of the facade. In other situations, a fully functional window shutter fits better, for example in homes where privacy, shading or lockability are important.
At Shutters Inc. we therefore look at the purpose of the shutter. Do you mainly want to add atmosphere? Then a decorative design will often suffice. Do you really want to use the shutter? Then we advise on fittings, operation and mounting.
A wooden window shutter only really fits when the details are right. The dimensions, line pattern, frame, colour and hardware together determine the final appearance. This is why we make window shutters completely to measure.
For the lines in the shutter, you can choose between thick milled lines or narrow, subtle lines. The difference makes no difference to the quality of the shutter; this choice is all about appearance. Narrow, shallow lines give a refined and calm effect. Wider or deeper lines, on the other hand, create more shadow effect.
A slanted beam gives the window shutter a recognisably rural character. This detail is often found in farmhouses, rural houses and classic facades. The beam breaks the straight line pattern and makes the shutter more playful.
You can choose a version with or without a slanted bar. Without a slant, the window shutter looks more calm and clean. With a slanted bar, the shutter will have a more traditional look.
The frame determines how sturdy and finished the window shutter looks. A wider frame gives more emphasis to the shutter, while a slimmer frame looks more subtle. The colour also has a lot of influence on the appearance.
We supply wooden window shutters in a colour that matches your home. Think classic shades such as white, cream, dark green and black, but also modern colours such as anthracite or taupe. This way, the shutter matches the facade, window frames and other exterior elements.
A window shutter and a panel shutter look similar but have a different appearance. A window shutter usually has a flatter surface with milled lines. As a result, it looks classic but relatively light and refined.
A panel shutter has clearer panels and a more built-up structure. This often gives the shutter a heavier, more stately appearance. Panel shutters suit classic townhouses, listed buildings and facades where richer detail is desired.
In doubt between the two types? Then choose a window shutter if you are looking for a traditional, calm and traditional facade appearance. Choose a panel shutter when you want more volume and emphasis.
The quality of the wood determines the durability of the shutter. After all, it hangs outside and is exposed to sun, rain, wind and temperature fluctuations. That is why we use FSC-certified hardwood suitable for outdoor use. This material is strong, retains its shape and is easy to work with.
We produce all our shutters in our own factory in Haaksbergen. That is an important difference. We do not outsource production, but keep control over wood selection, dimensions, profiling, finishing and quality control ourselves.
We assemble every shutter ourselves, which allows us to deliver tailor-made solutions. This ensures that the window shutter matches the house, the facade and the desired look. The exact type of wood may vary per project, but the starting point remains durable hardwood suitable for years of outdoor use.
Besides wooden window shutters, Shutters Inc. also offers other styles of custom-made window shutters, such as louvre shutters, panel shutters and combination shutters. So you can always choose a design that suits the look of your home, the desired function and the level of maintenance you are comfortable with.

Wooden window shutters require periodic maintenance. This is part and parcel of a natural material used outdoors. Proper maintenance keeps the shutters beautiful, protects the wood and extends their lifespan.
Clean the shutters regularly with a soft brush or damp cloth. Remove dirt, dust and deposits, especially around edges, grooves and joints. During cleaning, check whether the paint or stain layer has been damaged.
Do you notice small cracks, bald spots or damage? Then touch them up in good time. This prevents moisture from penetrating the wood and keeps the shutter better protected from the weather.
How often treatment is required depends on the position of the façade, the weather load and the chosen finish. Shutters on a façade with a lot of sun, wind or rain usually require attention sooner than shutters in a sheltered location.
Check the finish at least once a year. As soon as the paint becomes dull, cracks or loses its protection, it is time to treat the wood again.
