Real Basswood Shutters for Hot, Sun-Baked Rooms

The room that's too hot by 3 p.m.

West- and south-facing great rooms, bonus rooms and upstairs bedrooms take the hardest Inland Empire sun. With shutters, you tilt the louvers to block direct glare and still keep daylight. For heat-control tips, see our west-window guide.

Why homeowners choose real basswood

Basswood is real wood. It's light and takes paint and stain evenly, which gives it the look of a finished, built-in shutter. For kitchens, bathrooms and other wet rooms, we'll suggest a poly shutter instead. Compare every option on our plantation shutters page.

Wood where it shows, poly where it's wet

Many homes use basswood in the living areas and poly in the wet rooms, in one matching style. We measure the whole house in one visit and install everything together, so every room matches.

Tricky hot windows

Arches, angles and tall windows often take the most sun. See specialty shutters. For a large slider or a window you can't reach, motorized shades may be a better fit.
