1. Do you build
the shutters yourselves?
No... And yes. Our square shutters and sunbursts
are made by Millwork
by O'Hair™ in Lubbock, Texas; however,
for specialty shapes, we either modify their shutters or build
them from scratch.
2. Are your shutters
made from hardwood?
Yes. Our shutters are made of White Poplar
which is kiln dried, in-house, for 4-6 months. It is then "ripped
and flipped", edge-glued and laminated for strength and stability.
All of the components are made from this stock. As a result, we
simply don't have any issues with warpage and the panels are super-strong.
Take a tour
of the O'Hair
plant and see how they're made!
3. What is the maximum
width that you can build a single shutter panel?
O'Hair
now offers panels up to 50" in width! Can't figure
out what it will look like once it's installed? Go to the Shutters
For My Window™ page and see for yourself.
You'll be able to design a shutter any way you like and see what
it looks like before you buy.
4. Do you carry a
shutter that doesn't have a center control rod?
Yes. It's called Horizon
and is available in 3", 4" and 5" louver spacing.
It's unique in that its control rods are located on both sides
of the louvers so that when it's fully closed it effectively eliminates
any light leakage that would normally occur where the louver connects
to the side stiles.

5. How are the shutters
finished?
The shutter components of paint-grade shutters
are first coated with 3 layers of a UV-cured primer and sanded
smooth prior to assembly; once they arrive at our shop, we further
detail them by spackling, spot priming and sanding any imperfections.
A multi-coating of oil-based enamel is applied when all is ready.
Stain-grade shutters undergo a similar 4-step process culminating
in several layers of lacquer top-coat resulting in a rich, deep
luster.
6. What kind of
warranty do you offer?
Your new shutters are covered by a Limited
Transferable Warranty. For more information please
