GET REAL WOOD PLANTATION SHUTTERS

TEN REASONS TO GET REAL

Get real wood plantation shutters from Villa Blind and shutter.  Villa offers customers with exquisite taste an opportunity to get real wood shutters from America’s Best hardwood shutter company, O’Hair Shutters  Here are our ten reasons to get Real wood plantation shutters.

#1   REASONABLE HARVESTED AMERICAN HARDWOOD

Our shutters are made from the finest grades of White Poplar (Cottonwood), a North American hardwood. Our lumber is harvested on family owned land, from landowners who demand sustainable forestry and responsible conservation, leaving a proud legacy for future generations.

#2   EXTENSIVE SEASONING

Quality wood shutter begins with the proper drying of green lumber. We perform this processin house” using open air drying and low temperature kiln drying. This 2 – 3 month process insures stress free, stable lumber.

#3   EDGE GRAIN/EDGE GLUED

The natural stability of properly dried lumber is enhanced by our exclusive edge-grain,  edge-glue process.  By ripping boards into strips,  then rotating and gluing,  homogenous strength and stability (akin to a laminated beam) is achieved.  This process is key in our ability to produce the largest warranted shutter panels available.

#4   REAL WOOD JOINERY

Four critical joinery details are important in the design of a quality shutter panel. In each of these, We combine time-honored methods of construction with computer-controlled precision (+/- .005”) resulting in panels built to last for the life of your home.

#5   MORTISE and TENON JOINERY

Our mortise & tenon joint design allows for maximum glue surface area.  Wet-to-wet glue application plus special “draw-tight”  assembly screws result in optimal intimate contact & excellent joint strength.

#   PINLESS MONOLITHIS LOUVER TENONS

Louvers pivot on tenons that are formed from the louver profile itself.  The resulting monolithic grain structure of each tenon provides the strongest pivot design in the industry.

#7   ADJUSTABLE STABILLOUVER

The louver at the middle of each tilt rod receives brass bushings for preset tension.  In addition,  screws are applied to retain the stiles and to allow adjustment of tilting action.  Louvers are thus sure to hold any desired tilt position.

#8  CONTINUOUS TILT ROD LINKAGE

A common problem never seen in a shutter panel from O’Hair is detached louvers due to tilt rod staples that pulled out.  Instead,  a continuous aluminum linkage thoroughly glued into the back of the tilt rod provides extraordinary strength. The connecting louver staples made of #304   stainless are deep set for decades of trouble-free service.

#9   NATURAL STRENGTH

The higher strength-to-weight ratio of real wood combined with our unique processes,  makes shutter panels from O’Hair the strongest shutter panels on the market today.

#10   NATURAL BEAUTY

Regardless of which surface you choose,  the natural beauty of Real Wood comes through.

Sandbrushed Finish

The O’Hair Sandbrushed Finish is beautiful!

 

SandbrushedFacebook8Inch (1)24ShuttersPainted2509ShuttersPainted07

A Sandbrushed finish is a unique feature in the shutter world.  The shifting hue and undulating pattern in the grain of a genuine hardwood shutter is a source of natural beauty. The O’Hair Sandbrushed™ finish accentuates the grain by revealing the natural contours of the wood. Unlike the rough, abrasive sandblasted approach used by others, our sandbrush™ system uses rotating fabric brushes that create a smooth, gentle relief, resembling ripples of sand on a pristine tropical beach.
The Sandbrushed™ finish is available  for all shutter styles, including center tilt panels, Horizon Tilt™, Pattern Horizontals™, Quarterburst™, and GrainSelect™. A full range of standard and custom paint and stain colors are also available.  Learn more about O’Hair Shutters

Tustin Shutter Installation

Featuring Villa’s Job of the Week Video

Design Ideas for Shutters
Good Morning from Villa Blinds Design Team. We are showing you these videos to let you see and understand your Design choices when ordering Plantation Shutters. You can choose between Painted or Stained, Materials, Frames, Louver Size and Tilt Control choices. I think that covers it!

Louver Size
Most people today really like the 3 1/2 inch Louvers for a great view through to the outside, the 2 1/2 has less and is also rather busy and its maybe becoming old fashioned. The 4 1/2 inch Louver is limited to rather large windows.
Frames
We recommend the Z frames because they are Inside Mounted and look flush to the wall, over the outside mounted frames like the traditional L or Decco frames, but this is really personal choice.Tustin Shutter installation
Material
The choice of Materials is difficult, most people prefer Basswood, especially when it doesn’t cost more, however the Hybrid and Vinyl Shutters are a strong consideration for their inherit durability. Villa offers all three materials.
Tilt Contriol
We love the Hidden Tilt, it allows for enhanced view through, and we love the Split option as shown on this video.

Review of the Job of the Week

Stephen Klein
April 2015

We had shutters installed on all the windows of our condo yesterday and we couldn’t be happier. They look great. The construction and the mechanism are very solid. The sales and measurement team were great. Installation of 18 windows and doors took less than 5 hours and was very professional. We had a French door and some kitchen windows that required special treatment but the designs they came up with fit perfectly. We can’t recommend Villa Shutters highly enough.
