Board and Batten Shutters
Board and Batten Shutters
Board and batten shutters were originally created as window coverings for modest early American homes and barns before glass was an option. Many cottages that the farmers lived in had matching shutters. Home designers and decorators then realized that putting board and batten shutters on a home would give the home a more “rural/cottage” feel. This began to catch on in many areas due to a shift in architectural style. Board and batten shutters have become one of the most contemporary exterior decorative home accents for both restoration projects as well as new homes that are seeking for a more rural/cottage look.
With the E-Zee Set Premium Series shutter in the Board and Batten style you have your choice of pine, cedar or our synthetic weather resistant material. You have an array of options at your fingertip. For a complete list of these options review the Board and Batten Details below.
