What Makes Your Hardwood Shutters Different from Other Window Shutters?

Our custom hardwood shutters are crafted with the highest quality American wood, specifically selected for its durability, beauty, and sustainability. We don’t compromise on the materials we use because we believe that genuine wood offers the best strength-to-weight ratio, natural insulation, and aesthetic appeal. Unlike vinyl or composite shutters, our hardwood shutters can be custom-finished to match any décor, and our unique Sandbrushed™ technique enhances the natural wood grain for a look that is both elegant and timeless.

Are Moreland Custom Shutters Available in Materials Other Than Wood?

At Moreland Custom Shutters, we exclusively use real wood for our shutters. This choice is rooted in our commitment to quality and performance. Genuine wood provides superior strength, insulation, and stability compared to alternatives like vinyl or composites. Additionally, our Sandbrushed™ relieved woodgrain surface offers a texture and visual appeal that simply cannot be replicated with synthetic materials. When you choose our hardwood shutters, you’re investing in a product that stands the test of time, both in function and appearance.

Why Do You Focus on Poplar Wood for Your Shutters?

Poplar is our wood of choice because it combines availability, sustainability, and beauty in one package. This hardwood takes stains, paints, and specialty finishes exceptionally well, allowing us to offer a wide range of finishes to suit any home. We’ve spent years perfecting the drying, milling, and finishing process of white poplar, ensuring that each piece is stable and long-lasting. This meticulous attention to detail allows us to confidently offer some of the best warranties in the industry.

What Does “Custom” Mean for Your Shutters?

When we say custom, we mean that every set of plantation shutters we create is made to order. No two windows are exactly alike, even if they appear similar. Our shutters are crafted based on precise measurements of each individual window or door to ensure a perfect fit. This level of customization allows us to create shutters that seamlessly integrate into your existing architecture, matching your paint or stain perfectly. We don’t mass-produce panels; every shutter is unique and tailored specifically for your home.

Are Moreland Custom Shutters Sold Through Retail Outlets?

We don’t sell our shutters through big box stores or other retail outlets because these venues often lack the specialized knowledge needed to properly present and install custom shutters. Instead, we work directly with you, as this ensures that you receive the best possible service and that your shutters are expertly designed and installed.

Why Do You Use American Hardwood Rather Than Imported Wood?

We use American hardwood for its superior quality and the peace of mind it offers in terms of sustainability. Our timber is harvested from family-owned land in the U.S., ensuring that it is sourced responsibly. Imported wood often lacks the same level of quality control, and its sustainability can be questionable. By using American hardwood, we can guarantee a consistent, high-quality product that meets our rigorous standards.

Do Moreland Custom Shutters Increase the Equity of My House?

Absolutely. High-quality wood shutters are not just a beautiful addition to your home; they also add tangible value. When it comes time to sell, your Moreland shutters can be a significant selling point. Plus, our lifetime warranty ensures that the value of your investment is preserved, providing added peace of mind for potential buyers.

Can I Measure My Own Windows?

We strongly recommend that measurements should always be taken by a trained professional. Our shutters are custom-made for each window, and even small inaccuracies in measurement can affect the final product. Additionally, we have the experience and tools needed to ensure a perfect fit, so you get the best results every time.

Where Can I Find More Information or Literature on Your Shutters?

We offer a variety of literature that you can download from our website, covering the features and benefits of each Moreland product.
