SHUTTERS THAT KEEP THE LIGHT REGULATED, PROVIDE
BEAUTY AND ARE CRAFTED FOR A LIFETIME OF USE
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

needs and find the right solution just for you.
