Beautiful, well crafted and custom shutters can take most any room and turn it into a work of art. At Coastal Shutters in Southport, we specialize in working with our customers to make their interior shutters a magnificent accent to any room.

Interior shutters are typically divided into narrow units hinged accordion-style so that two or more units cover each side of a window opening when closed. Operable louvered shutters have louvers or slats, controlled by a tilt bar or rod to adjust the louver position and keep them in a uniform position, to control light, visibility and airflow. Shutters with operable louvers are called plantation shutters in our area and typically have only two shutters per window and wide louver blades, and are a very popular choice in our area.

Other interior shutters use stationary louvers that do not rotate (fixed louvers); solid raised or flat panels; fabric inserts; or tinted glass. Shutters can be configured in a single tier unit that has one shutter top to bottom of a window opening as well as multiple tiers. Multiple tier units feature separate shutters on each tier which allows the top shutters to be opened independently from the bottom shutters. Café-type shutters refer to shutters that only cover the lower portion of a window.

Full height shutters can be made with a horizontal divider rail which separates the upper and lower portions of the shutter. With operable louvered shutters this gives greater control as the louvers above the divider rail can be operated independently from the louvers below the divider rail. Interior shutters can be constructed from numerous woods, which can be painted or stained, and a variety of synthetic materials. Interior shutters that are made to close tolerances are preferable for the best possible fit.

There are many variations of how interior shutters can be configured in a a home.

At Coastal Shutters we feature a wide array of surface types, materials, styles and colors of shutters for our clients. For additional information we ask that you please contact us so that we can help assess your needs and find the right solution just for you.
