Traditional Exterior Shutters in Tacoma

We were asked to make real operable exterior shutters for a classic colonial style home. This project started out as an email inquiry that included a list of sizes of the shutters they would need. We emailed back a quote and then they asked about installation. We sourced the black wrought iron hardware that the client described. Next came an on site measure to go over all the final details and take the manufacturing measurements. It took about six weeks from the order date for the shutters to be manufactured in our shop in Redmond and installed at the residence in Tacoma. Here are a couple of photos of the finished shutters. Note the metal capping on the top of the shutters. This is an added detail we do to protect the tops of the shutters as that is where the moisture is most likely to enter. We craft a metal capping in-house for each shutter to prevent this from happening.

Louver Doors in the Northwest

What a rewarding project this was! A hotel in downtown Seattle was ready for refurbishment. The owners wanted to start at the basement level and proceed floor by floor to renovate their hotel. Louver doors made out of English Walnut with a clear finish were specified. We looked at the plans and knew we could manufacture louver doors to their exact specifications. The quote was worked, hand-drawn detailed plans were submitted (the owner still likes to do them this way), and the doors were delivered on-time to be installed in December 2012 and look great! In the beginning I mentioned the project was rewarding because it was the first time to work with this particular builder, architect, and designer. The rewarding part comes when they entrust their vision to you and you are able to help make it happen. 

Exterior Shutters Seattle

A dutch colonial home that is over 60 years old in North Bend required some period shutters to be replaced. The client came in to our showroom bringing two of the weathered rotten shutters from off of his home. He and his wife wanted to know if we could manufacture shutters to match these historic shutters and paint the new shutters to match the original color of the existing shutters. We love woodworking so this was a great opportunity for our craftsmen to use their skills. The shutters were just recently installed and look exactly as the originals with a firm nod to the original architecture.

Traditional Shutters in Seattle

If your home has a more traditional architectural flair your windows may look great with small louver shutters. When windows are shuttered with this design there are often multiple panels that fill the window allowing the homeowner to fold the shutters back. You can also close the shutters and adjust the louvers for light and privacy. The look is both graceful and sophisticated. We have recently completed a residence in Seattle where traditional shutters were used to compliment the furnishings and style of the house.

Shoji Screen in Seattle

A busy retired professional couple were ready to renovate their Bellevue condominium and add shutters to their windows. They chose Newport Shutters to craft these shutters and then as the project progressed asked if we could also make shoji screens. Our production facility in Redmond allows us to be able to size our own wood and do all our finishing inhouse. As a result we were well-equiped to make these beautiful shoji screens in addition to the shutters. They turned out superb!
