Custom Window Shutters in Miami, Florida
Interior shutters, also known as Louvered Shutters in Miami, enhance interior spaces and their windows with an architectural statement like no other window treatment. The beauty of hardwood as well as composite materials underscore the uniqueness that describe interior shutters as furniture for your windows.
Materials
There are many options available when selecting Interior Louvered Shutters. Let’s begin with materials. Hardwood, Composite and Vinyl Shutters each have their distinct benefits which provide essential choices for our customers. Whether your style is traditional, contemporary or modern, interior shutters are a proven choice for every design aesthetic. Hardwood shutters are unique because of the finishes that extend the natural, rustic or traditional character your interior is designed to reflect. The furniture quality stains are abundant and if you can’t find the right match, custom options are always available. The customization of paint colors is also an option with hardwood shutters which is sometimes needed when standard colors do not match the paint colors in your room. Composite Shutters come in a variety of white tones and have the same presence as a painted wood shutter. They are easier to clean, stand up in more humid environments and are more cost effective than wood. Vinyl Shutters are the perfect choice for areas of extreme humidity such as bathrooms. They are an excellent treatment for a window in the shower. Along with stainless steel hinges, you will have a window treatment that will last the longest from prolonged moisture.
Louver Sizes
For your viewing pleasure, all of our interior shutters offer choices of louver sizes which range from 1.5″ to 2.5″ which are usually specified for more traditional interiors. For contemporary designs, 3.5″ to 4.5″ louvers are not only preferred, but these louver sizes are perfect for windows facing scenic views or for allowing more daylight to filter in when opened.
Tilting Features
Easy operation of Louvered Shutters is available with two different types of tilting features. The traditional mechanism that is widely used is a tilt bar in the center of each shutter panel. By holding the tilt bar you open and close the louvers by motioning up or down. Now, modern ingenuity has enabled these louvers to be operated without this bar. By touching one louver, all louvers open and close. While this is an upgrade, it creates a sleeker, more modern aesthetic and has become quite popular with a new generation of customers and their 21st Century design taste.
Hinges
Hardware such as pulls or knobs to open the panels are not selected anymore, but there is still the hinges needed to allow the panels to open, close and bi-fold. While most of our customer’s will choose white, they always have the option for brass tones, silver tones and even stainless steel hinges for shutters that may be installed close to areas with water. And for those that want a very modern shutter style, there is a hidden hinge option by one of the manufacturers we represent, affording you the sleekest look possible.
Frames
Having a frame around your shutter is essential for mounting this beautiful window treatment to the window. Because every home and office has its unique style, your window covering should reflect that style too. Our frames are designed to enhance modern, contemporary and traditional decors as well keeping your shutter aligned with the size of the window or creating a larger window effect. Choosing all of these details are made easier when you have talented consultants assisting you with these decisions.

Interior Shutters Miami
Types of Interior Shutters:
Hardwood Shutters
Hardwood shutters are crafted from genuine, high-quality hardwood. They create the ultimate, high-end shutter that is perfect for any space.
Hardwood interior shutters, especially stained, offer characteristics such as the warmth of color choices and the details in the wood grain that cannot be duplicated in any other materials.
If you are looking for a rustic, mid-century modern or traditional aesthetic, hardwood shutters in Miami are a perfect choice.
Composite Shutters
Composite shutters are a stylish, versatile, innovative, and cost-effective alternative to traditional hardwood interior shutters.
Composite or faux wood shutters combine wood and non-wood components to create a gorgeous look similar to hardwood shutters with the added benefits of practicality and durability, even in humid climates.
Due to their durability, composite shutters can be installed in virtually any room, including bathrooms and kitchens where consistent moisture is present.
With a variety of colors available, we can create a custom look that fits your decor. Start designing your perfect composite louver shutters in Miami today.
Vinyl Shutters
Vinyl louver shutters in Miami are the most energy efficient choice, as they offer the best insulation out of all three materials. The hollow cores in the vinyl shutter louvers trap heat, which in turn helps maintain a consistent and comfortable interior temperature, helping you conserve energy.
Vinyl louver shutters are also perfect for high moisture areas, especially for windows located in showers.
Whether you choose to install vinyl shutters throughout your home or just want them for areas in which the vinyl properties are needed most, rest assured you can still achieve the same airy look that composite and hardwood interior shutters offer.
Speciality Shaped Louver Shutters
Shaped windows can be challenging for many homeowners to cover. Specialty shaped shutters in Miami offer a multitude of ways to treat these architectural window features. Whether you have arched, angled or circular windows, a specialty shaped shutter is a beautiful window treatment that covers your opening without compromising the detail and design.
