Nearly all wooden shutters are made from a solid hardwood. This helps to give the shutters the necessary stability and strength for daily usage. Windows have to with stand all types of weather conditions, such as direct sunlight, fluctuating humidity, and the rapid change in temperatures.

All types of wooden window shutters can usually withstand all of these types of conditions. Wooden shutters are constructed to withstand harsh climates from the intense heat and sun of the tropics to the intense cold of the North. Bare in mind though, not all wooden window shutters are built to the same high quality, because the choice of wood, types of joints, and overall design will govern the quality of the ending product.

What to take into account:

• In the overall structure of wooden window shutters and the type of wood used is very important. All wood is chosen based on durability, weight, straightness, length, and overall finishing qualities. Basswood is one of the best examples, as it builds an exceptional shutter. Basswood also ranks high in just above every characteristic you could possibly imagine.
  
• The joints of the wood will need to be solid and strong in order to create a long lasting wood shutter. Finger joints are also important, as they connect two shorter lengths of wood. The finger joints show through the finish of a painted shutter and may look poor from the start for a stained wood shutter.
  
• Having strong joints between stiles and rails will prevent the two parts from separating or breaking apart. The joints should be glued and then doweled for the strongest joints and the best overall performance.

By buying wooden window shutters, you'll get quality shutters at a great price. However, before you buy, make enquiries about the company who manufactures the wooden window shutters you are interested in and make sure that they know what they are doing. If you buy from a highly regarded seller, you'll get everything you need for excellent wooden shutters and instructions on how to install them yourself if you wish.
