Shutter Design for Historical Homes: Balancing Authenticity and Modern Functionality
Historic homes embody timeless treasures filled with memories worth preserving. Today, these homes often require a bit of tender loving care to integrate the modern conveniences we cherish.
For centuries, shutters have safeguarded homes, playing a crucial role in ensuring privacy and security. Nowadays exterior shutters preserve the historic integrity of homes across the nation. At Southern Shutter Company, we specialize in meticulously replacing historic shutters, adhering to the highest standards, ensuring every detail is replicated perfectly.
Across the nation, historical societies oversee the use of historically accurate shutter reproductions in their districts, each with specific requirements for accuracy. Our Pros work alongside these societies to ensure the requirements are met for your shutters. These are typically classified into three categories:
- Exact Match: Replicas that faithfully produce every detail of the original shutters.
- Standard or Production: High-quality shutters that closely follow historical styles and materials, though not exact replicas.
- Hybrid: Blending historical accuracy with modern production techniques, balancing aesthetics and functionality.
Whether your home is nestled in the historic districts of Boston and Philadelphia or graces the scenic eastern coast, our team at Southern Shutter Company collaborates closely with homeowners. Our mission is not only to meet the rigorous standards set by historical districts but also to honor the cherished legacy of your home with each shutter installation. Contact us to get started
