What are shutters solid panel shutters?
Solid panel shutters are window coverings made from thick, solid wooden panels. Unlike louvred shutters that have slats, solid panels are completely flat pieces of wood. They open and close like doors, giving you full control over light and privacy.
These shutters are sometimes called Victorian shutters because they were extremely popular during the Victorian era. They’re perfect for creating a classic, traditional look in any room.
