Shutters for Every Shape and Style

/in

Your beautiful, specially-shaped windows need coverings as creative as they are.  The window with the high peak, your round window and even a hexagon window are all candidates for custom wood shutters from Marco Shutters.

Because they’re custom – made, we have many shutter options to choose from. They’re available as painted shutters  and stained wood shutters. Louver widths are offered in 2 1/2″, 3 1/2″ and 4 1/2” sizes.

Large window sizes are no problem for Marco Shutters: We offer window shutters as wide as 40″ and up to 96” tall.

Since your specially-shaped windows are an integral part of your home decor, there are many options for finishing. We can stain the shutters to match other woods in the room, and we have many species of hardwoods to choose from, too. For those who like the painted look, we also offer a custom paint-matching service for painted wood shutters.

Our custom shutters for arches and other shapes can be easily opened and closed. Unlike other manufacturers, our one-touch louver rods allow for effortless operation. You adjust them to the desired position once – and they stay in place without constant modification.

If you have a very large window, we also have motorized options that allow for louver adjustment with a remote control.

Whether you have an octagon window, a circle window, a fan-top window or a peak window, we have the plantation shutters to fit your shapely window.

How To Stop Your Dog From Barking (Even If You’ve Tried Everything)

Free custom paint match now through January 31, 2021 when you mention Code ROSCOE-007

Sidelight Shutters have made Roscoe’s job a little more difficult. His job is to guard the house. He takes his job seriously, especially since his owners are working from home. Roscoe wants them to know he’s on the job. And even when they’re on a conference call, Roscoe feels that his people absolutely should know there’s a squirrel across the street, three doors down.

Roscoe’s people are glad for his vigilance. No doubt he has repelled many would-be thugs and wayward squirrels from the family’s realm. However, it would be nice if Roscoe could be a bit quieter, especially when the baby’s asleep.

Smart Dog, Smarter Humans

Being the wise people that they are, Roscoe’s people contacted Marco Shutters for a solution. Our sidelight shutters were the answer. They can be adjusted with the slightest touch. Keeping the lower half of the shutters closed is simple – our unique louver pins keep the louvers in place without slipping.  There’s no adjustment rod, so there’s also no way for Roscoe to try to adjust the louvers on his own. Smart dog: smarter humans.

Available in painted and stained wood, sidelight shutters – or any of our shutter options – can be matched to your decor. Louvers come in 2 1/2”, 3 1/2”, and 4 1/2” widths. Marco also makes shutters for nearly any size or shape window, too.

Roscoe looks a bit indignant in this photo. But, he’ll soon realize that all the real threats are being kept away, just because he’s on the job. Roscoe has mojo. His family is safe.

The Invisible Support Option: Hidden Tilt Rods

/in

White Painted Shutters With Center RodThe louvers do all the work on custom indoor shutters:  They move up and down to filter light, and must stay in place once adjusted.  A tilt rod is  the controller, moving the louvers to the desired position and keeping them there.

Many times, the tilt rod is in the center of the shutter panel. Easy to use, it’s also visible. It’s a classic look that is both functional and beautiful.

However, if your window has a wide sweeping view, you may wish the tilt rods were invisible. Marco Shutters has granted your wish with its invisible support option that uses a hidden tilt rod.

Invisible Support for Custom Indoor ShuttersWith this invisible support system, the hidden tilt rod has been moved from the front and center to the back and sides of each shutter panel, allowing the tilt bar stay out of sight. Marco’s superior construction includes special features that increase joint strength. They ensure that louvers stay at whatever tilt angle is set. Our shutters are built with our unique louver pins that eliminate tensioning.

Another advantage of hidden tilt rods is that it’s much easier to clean the louvers, since there’s no center rod to hinder dusting the shutter panel.

The hidden tilt rod is available on all styles of our custom indoor shutters – painted plantation shutters and stained plantation shutters. We offer louver in 2 1/2”, 3 1/2”, and 4 1/2” widths. We have a custom matching service for painted shutters. And, if stained shutters are your style, we can match wood species and stain to your specifications.

Making a Statement

Shutters for Large Windows

There’s nothing like a large window to make a statement. Large windows give large views. Whether it’s the lake, the golf course, or the rolling hills of a country view, a large window brings the outdoors inside.  But, large windows need to be covered, and that’s where Marco Shutters shines. Marco’s custom large window shutters allow you to see the view and have privacy, too.

Our custom large window shutters can be built up to 40” wide and 100” tall in a single panel.  Using American hardwoods, they’re constructed with finger-jointed louvers, which allows for them to be tilted to the desired position – and stay that way.

Louvers come in 2 1/2”, 3 1/2”, and 4 1/2” widths. There’s a special advantage to using 4 1/2″ widths – there’s 4″ between the louvers instead of 2 or 3 inches. This wider space allows for great views when you tilt open the louvers. You won’t have to swing open a shutter panel to enjoy those great views of the pool or the golf course.

Of course, your shutters have to match the inside of your home, and our custom paint-matching service will ensure that the shutters will be a perfect match to your decor.

If wood tones are your style, you can choose American hardwoods, such as walnut, maple, cherry, mahogany or oak, or other species for your shutters. The shutters can be stained to match the existing wood in your home.

All of our shutters are made locally in our own factory. Marco Shutters is celebrating its 20th year in business, so we have the expertise to fabricate custom large window shutters to the unique specifications you require. The quality craftsmanship we provide comes with a 25-year guarantee.

Because our shutters have a 20-year guarantee, your wallet will be happy for years to come.
