Ever Wonder How Your Shutters Are Made?

Shutters are simple but stunning when matched with any kind of decor. While looking fantastic, shutters still meet their function allowing homeowners to control the amount of light and privacy in their home.

You may have asked yourself the question, how are shutters made? Well, in order to tackle the question, it’s important to know the difference between “custom” shutters and “custom-made” shutters. Custom shutters are pre-made shutters of a standard size that are cut to the specifications needed for their respective windows. Custom-made shutters on the other hand are not premade but are made specifically to your specifications to fit your window. But how do manufacturers craft “custom-made” shutters?


The first step is to properly measure the window opening that is going to be covered. Here at Shutters Etc. we employ our window covering professionals to take the measurements to ensure that your shutters fit perfectly.

The second step, once measurements have been received, is to actually create the custom ordered shutters. These shutters will be created from custom measured parts including: the louvres, tiltbar, top and bottom rails, divider rail and frame. You’re able to select from the three different widths of louver sizes as well as select the neutral colour of your choice. Our manufacturer, Eclipse Shutters makes their window coverings from very best materials. Your parts are even cut with state-of the-art precision technology and then put together by Eclipse’s staff.
