Description
Homeowners love the distinctive look of shutters, which are unique in adding value, beauty and sophistication to any room in the house.
The Designer Hybrid Shutters blend the timeless elegance of hardwood frames with the long-lasting durability & resiliency of solid poly panels – all at an affordable price. These shutters don’t fold under the pressure of brutal winters or humid summers, and will maintain their shape, colour and value for years to come. These hybrid shutters also insulate your windows better than all-wood shutters to help keep your energy costs low and your home comfortable all year round.
The sleek, no cord design makes these shutters a great addition to homes with kids and pets. Even with active kids and energetic pets in the house, the laser-baked painted finish keeps your shutters resilient and prevents fading, scratches and chips.
It’s virtually impossible to find a hue that doesn’t complement your existing colour scheme with our neutral colour palette. Unlock your inner designer and customize your Designer Hybrid Shutters using a combination of multi-panel configurations, frames and louver sizes. Even your hinges can be colour-coordinated to match your shutters.

Measuring Considerations
- To avoid light gaps around the frame, consider ordering an outside mount frame.
- When ordering outside mount shutters, please ensure you read our Measuring & Installation tab to ensure you are entering the correct measurements for your shutters.
- To avoid excess louver overlap, a minimum of 18" is required between divider rail and the top/bottom rail of the shutter.
- Shutters over 74" in height need to have a dividing rail.
- Shutters with a hidden tilt and over 52" are required to have a dividing rail.
- When ordering adjacent shutters in the same room, to achieve a uniform appearance you must specify that all adjacent shutters and their divider rails be the same height.
Recommendations and Limitations
- Measuring for shutters is very important. Please ensure you are selecting the correct measurements. Don't hesitate to contact one of our shutter experts and we can help guide you through the process. Check out our Measuring & Installation tab for more information.
- When considering an inside mount frame, you should measure on the diagonal (from corner to corner) each way. If these measurements are more than 1/2" off from each other, you should consider ordering an outside mount frame.
- If your windows tilt in, you should consider an outside mount frame. An inside mount frame will prevent you from opening your windows.
- Trim molding can affect the installation of your shutters. Ideally, not having trim molding works best.
- If you window has a sill then you need to choose the 4 Sided with Sill Frame option to ensure your shutters can be installed properly.
- Do not use the tilt bar to open and close your shutters. This bar's purpose is to move all the louvers at the same time. To open or close, gently move one louver in the direction you desire and the rest will follow.
- A replacement louver is included with each shutter. This should be stored in a safe place, wrapped up and laid flat (so there will not be any warping). The spare louver will match perfectly since they are produced at the same time as your shutter.
- 36" maximum width for single panel.
- Pre-drilled installation holes are strategically placed on all frames for accurate, quick and clean installation. Some assembly is required.
- If your louvers are loose and don't stay in place, each shutter panel has a tension screw on both sides. Simply use a screwdriver to turn each tension screw a 1/4 of a turn. Do this on both sides of the panel.
