Basswood shutters are Shuttermart’s 100% wood line. They are made from A1-grade, kiln-dried basswood that is hand-selected for texture and grain, machine-shaped, then finished and inspected by hand.[1] Louvers come in 2½-, 3½- and 4½-inch sizes, and custom paint and stain matching is available for an extra charge.[1]

How are the basswood shutters made?

Shuttermart says each opening is measured precisely and every shutter is built to those measurements. A rabbeted interlocking technique adds extra light blocking, and the finish uses only high-quality lacquer paints and primers.[1] Its Services page adds that the wood shutters are crafted from kiln-dried clear woods with a beaded groove at the stiles and rails.[2]

Which louver sizes are available?

2½″, 3½″ and 4½″.[1] As a general rule, larger louvers give a more open view when tilted, while smaller louvers suit smaller windows and a more traditional look.

How long does manufacturing take?

Shuttermart’s basswood page says it can custom build each shutter in about 7 working days because it mills its own wood and molds its own poly.[1] Its FAQ and home page give a typical total of six to eight weeks for manufacturing and installation, and say custom shapes take longer.[3][4] See ordering and installation.

Why choose basswood?

Basswood is a light, fine-grained hardwood that takes paint and stain evenly, which is why many wood shutters use it. Real wood can move with moisture, so wood is usually recommended for drier rooms. Shuttermart points customers toward vinyl or Polyclad for humid spaces.[5][6]
