Solid panel shutters were generally used by the Victorians.  The materials in which the Victorians used for shutters were mostly cedar wood or pine wood.  Although you can still find today that many have survived over the years, the pine shutters did not have the potential to last for such a long time and as a consequence of this, many original shutters have indeed rotted.  Today, our solid shutters have become extremely popular within Victorian houses as we do a large proportion of replacement work.  Our solid raised panel shutters are only available in the Truman and/or Hemingway ranges.  The Truman range is a hardwood and the Hemingway range is red cedar.

Solid shutters are also very popular in homes which are in close vicinity to roads and which may possibly be exposed to an element of noise level.  Solid shutters do eliminate some noise factor in this instance.   They also give homes a much more secure look and hence a better sense of security is gained by our customers.

Apart from having that authentic look which has most certainly been acquired from the Victorian period, there is also much to be desired in the style itself.
