The Homestead Collection

Drift wood shutters adorn a door and two windows in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Driftwood shutters adorn a door and two windows in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Show-Case Shutters is pleased to announce the Homestead Collection – unique, hand-crafted plantation shutters, are now available.

Barn wood Shutters

It is a request we have heard many times:  “Can you make a barn wood shutter?”  The answer, in short is, “not very well”. Distressed barn wood is just that – distressed.  Decades old, the material at one time had better days.  The process of turning such material into a shutter is a game of splinters.

That’s when owner, Shan Carroll, decided to make a faux distressed barn wood from one of Show-Case Shutter’s premium shutters.

The process is an eight-step process that is extremely time-consuming.  Alder is the wood of choice for this finish.  A wood that, once finished, is incredible for this shutter.  Especially after the knot holes are individually sanded out.

Driftwood Shutters

Our driftwood shutter is actually the white version of the “smoke” colored barn wood shutter.  These two shutters are our standard distressed barn wood finishes.  However, we can custom stain any color the client needs.

Rustic Shutters

This shutter is finished using premium basswood.  In general, manufacturers look for smooth basswood for their stain grade – we look for knotty bass for this finish.  In the end the stained product is the perfect mix for those beautiful timber frame homes that are nestled back in the mountains.

Distressed Deco Shutters

This finish has that 1950’s era kitchen feel that is hard to get.  This hand finished product includes custom glazing and imperfection recreation.  The end product is perfect for that hard to match project.

Engraved Raised Panel Shutters

Finally, because of our custom capabilities, we also have the equipment for custom engraving!  This is perfect for that sports fan that wants their team’s logo forever etched into their man cave shutters.  How about your initials in the dividing doors hanging in your formal room?  If you can dream it, we can do it!

These five offerings make up the Homestead Collection which is now available at all levels of sale.  Contact David Tate at (540)206-7479.

Plantation Shutters Enhancing Lake Home Use

Shutters in Lake Communities

Lake homeowners pay special attention to detail as lake living provides beautiful panoramic views.  So it is no surprise to know lake homeowners want window treatments that add both beauty and value.  Shutters in lake communities do just that.

Window treatments that have the functionality to take advantage of those views while maintaining privacy.  It is all about controlling the natural light to enhance the use of any room in their home.

This is a lot to ask for any one window treatment idea, unless you are looking at Show-Case Shutters.

Plantation Shutters an Architectural Elegance in Window Treatments

Our interior plantation shutters provide a beautiful architectural elegance.  Window treatments that meet all of the requirements listed above.

Plantation Shutters, with the functionality to adjust the angle of louvers, control natural light, UV rays from the sun, views, and privacy.

Controlling the natural light allows you to create a warming glow to you room without having to deal with the annoying glare.

With a slight upper angle to the louvers, shutters allow you to filter the sun’s harmful UV rays that fade or discolor your home décor.

Plantation Shutters with a mid-rail or split tilt rod design allow you to adjust your louvers separately.  The lower half louvers control visibility from the exterior of your home while allowing light to filter in the top half of the shutters. Full views, with the louvers in a horizontal position, allow you to enjoy those beautiful panoramic views.

Premium Basswood Use in Construction of Plantation Shutters

Show-Case Shutters are available in premium hardwood, crafted in a large selection of paint and stain finishes, which meet the most demanding décor needs.

The manufacturing process and employees’ craftsmanship add value to any home. To back it up we have the best warranty in the industry – better than any you will find. The Smith Mountain Lake home pictured here boasts the many benefits of plantation shutters.
