What is the Versatility of Window Shutters?

Installing custom shutters at your windows is not only one of the best design choices you can make, but is a wise option for other reasons as well.  A wide variety of wood choices, slat widths and custom configurations is available from Arjay’s to help you create a totally unique window treatment for your home or office.

In any room of your home, and in any part of the country, shutters are versatile, and have lasting appeal.  They may also be used in conjunction with other window coverings such as fabric panels, draperies or decorative valances to enhance decorative appeal and complement furnishings.

Arjay’s has been a leading window covering specialist in Southern California since 1975, and our trained staff will help you choose the materials and the particular configuration that best suits your home.  Because shutters are so effective at controlling light, they are often used not only as window coverings, but also at patio doors and even as room dividers.

Variety of Shutters

Our array of specialty shutters at Arjay’s includes arched and radius forms, vertical configurations, sliding panels and slanted shutters. Because they are constructed of wood, they can be designed to conform to any size opening, and can be made in custom shapes and to accommodate unusual needs. They may be installed not only to cover windows, but also at doors, or as room dividers.  Architecturally, they blend with many styles, and lend a clean, uncluttered look to homes and offices.

Choices

Choices of stained or painted wood and panel size are almost endless, limited only by your needs and your preferences.  Our staff will work with you in our studio, and will also bring samples to your home, ensuring that the finished product will be exactly what you envision.  There is never an extra charge for our design expertise.

Light Control

The light-controlling property of wood shutters is one of their primary advantages; room darkening abilities make them suitable for media rooms as well as for nurseries and children’s rooms.  In addition, they help reduce energy costs, both in winter and summer, by providing an extra layer of insulation at every window opening.  In pleasant weather, the louvers may be adjusted to allow breezes to flow freely while still offering necessary privacy to inhabitants.

The trained staff at Arjay’s will be happy to show you samples and to help you with your selection.  Call us to schedule a complimentary appointment.
