Once you have determined a shutter style (traditional shutters or plantation shutters), it is time to measure. It is extremely important to measure each window according to our detailed instructions.
If you are a first time customer of Horizon Shutters, we encourage you to request a sample shutter. We are eager to exhibit to you the character of our product. We want you to appreciate first hand the durable finish and fluid louver rotation. We anticipate you will compare Horizon shutters to others in the industry, and welcome the challenge.
To accurately determine a finish color, you will need to have us mail you a paint or stain color chart. We have multiple choices of each, which homeowners find acceptable for most decors. If you have a very specific color in mind, we can formulate a custom color.
With measurements in hand, you are ready to order. Order in one of three ways:
Online (recommended) – The easiest and most interactive method.
Fax – Complete an order form and send your specifications.
Phone – Speak with a member of our friendly, knowledgeable staff.
We accept payment by Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, or check. Half of the total amount will be charged at the time of the order, and the remaining balance at the time of shipment.
Custom wood interior shutters take time to manufacture. We do our best to minimize your wait. Completed shutters receive a comprehensive final inspection and are carefully packed for transportation. The heavily padded boxes are then shipped directly to the delivery address.
Installation requires a little time, a few tools, and a helpful assistant. Our installation instructions will guide you to properly affix your custom interior shutters in position.
