For those wanted to give their home an instant facelift, traditional shutters are a great option. Window shutters add style and grace to a house, transforming it into a warm and welcoming home. From brick homes to stucco, old-fashioned to modern, traditional shutters will transform most any home.

By definition, traditional shutters are ¾-inch thick with 1¼-inch wide louvers. By regular usage, however, traditional shutters are wooden window covers with a traditional look. They can be flat panels, raised panels, louvered, or a combination.

Traditional shutters are available in most types of wood, including pine, oak, cedar, and maple. They can be unfinished or painted any color desired. For the look of wood without

the hefty price tag, they are also available in faux wood or vinyl. One advantage of these wood imitators is that they do not warp or crack like wood can. They are also easier to care for.

Traditional shutters are readily available in a variety of stock sizes. For windows with an unusual size or shape, custom shutters are available.

For a new twist on an old idea, try traditional shutters with fabric inserts. These shutters have the traditional frame, but the center section is cut out. This allows for the insertion of fabric or bamboo. This offers unlimited decorating possibilities.

Traditional shutters are relatively easy to install for the weekend do-it-yourself handyman. If you are not that adventurous or

you simply prefer to have someone else do it, many companies offer installation. Local contractors and home improvement handymen will also install shutters, usually at a minimum price.

For value and beauty, it is hard to beat traditional shutters. They provide instant warmth and hospitality to any home. Whether you are looking to match your home's décor, complement it, or offer contrast to it, shutters can accomplish your goal.
