Shutter specification guide

Start with the choices that change how the shutter looks and works.

A shutter order should be built around the room: the finish, the louver proportion, the frame detail, the way doors open, and any custom shape in the architecture. These are the decisions we review before final measuring and ordering.

Material

Choose the shutter material around finish, durability, and room use.

The material decision affects the final look, weight, cleaning routine, and how the shutter handles daily use. The consultation compares painted, stained, and composite options against the room, light exposure, trim, and budget.

Louver Sizes

Pick the louver scale that controls view, privacy, and proportion.

Smaller louvers create a tighter traditional line, while larger louvers open the view and feel cleaner on bigger windows. We review the window height, room style, sightline, and privacy goal before the order is built.

The broadest louver scale for a bold, open look on oversized windows where view-through and modern proportion matter.

Style

Match the frame and stile detail to the architecture of the room.

Traditional shutter details add a more classic built-in look. Contemporary details keep the face flatter and quieter, which works well with cleaner trim, larger glass, and modern interiors.

Contemporary (flat frames and stile)

Contemporary plantation shutters with flat frames and flat stile — StyleContemporary (flat frames and stile)
Flat frame and stile details reduce visual busywork for cleaner rooms, modern trim, and larger window openings.

Doors

Plan shutter operation around the way the door is used every day.

Sliding doors, French doors, and wide openings need a shutter plan that keeps access comfortable. We compare bypass, bifold, and French door layouts around handle clearance, furniture, traffic flow, and panel swing.

Bifold plantation shutter panels folded beside a patio door opening — DoorsBifold
Bifold shutter panels fold together so a wider opening can clear more fully when the room needs door access.

Plantation shutters mounted on French doors with handle cutouts — DoorsFrench doors
French door shutters need precise panel sizing and handle clearance so the doors remain usable after installation.

Specialty Shapes

Custom shapes follow the opening instead of hiding it.

Arches, rakes, circles, ovals, octagons, and custom shapes need precise templates and careful planning. The goal is a shutter that respects the architecture while still operating cleanly.

Measured before ordering

Each shutter plan is checked against the opening, trim, clearance, and daily use.

Before anything is built, 805 Shutters confirms opening size, frame depth, sill conditions, panel swing, handle clearance, divider rail placement, color direction, and how the shutters should perform when open, closed, or tilted.
