Combination shutters allows you to get the best of what you like in an exterior shutter style in one panel. Mix louvers on top with raised panels on the bottom. Add a flat panel with a cutout to the top of your shutter panel, then add louvers to the bottom. While a mix of panel and louvers is our most popular combination style, we are happy to work with you to make your dream a reality.

Combination Shutter Options

When it comes to combination shutters, the options all depend on the combination that you are choosing. Below is a lit of options depending on your combination style.

Arch Top to Match Windows

For round-top windows, Aegis Shutters are designed to mirror the arched shape at the top while maintaining full coverage for a custom fit. The louvers within the arched portion can be arranged horizontally or in a fan pattern. This custom fit preserves both the functional and aesthetic purposes of exterior shutters while honoring the architectural elegance of arched windows.

The shutter frame serves both structural and design purposes, mirroring key architectural elements of the house. The frame profiles can echo patterns found in window casings, columns, or other architectural elements creating visual harmony across the building's elements.

Shutter Frame Configuration

Aegis Shutters has a unique approach to flat panels to enhance your home's beauty while giving a modern, streamlined look. Choose from vertical, horizontal, or diagonal configurations.

Flat Panel Options

Tilt Rods

A shutter tilt rod is a vertical bar mounted on the back of articulating louvered shutters that connects and controls all louvers simultaneously. When the rod is moved up or down, it rotates the attached louvers fastened to each slat. The tilt rod movement allows for precise adjustment of light, airflow, and privacy by positioning the louvers at any angle from fully open to completely closed. Aegis Shutters has developed a unique tilt rod system that is sturdier than then "standard" tilt for years of operation.

A faux tilt rod can be added to fixed louver shutters for an added design look and overall shutter strength.

Rabbeting

Rabbeting shutters involves cutting complementary grooves along the meeting edges so they overlap when closed. The rabbet joint typically extends 1/2 inch deep and wide, creating a tight joint that strengthens the closure point. This feature increases the durability of the shutter during heavy winds when closed and latched.

Aegis Shutters uses Benjamin Moore's highest quality exterior paint to add beauty and longevity that withstands the most extreme elements.

In fire-prone areas, Aegis Shutters can paint your shutters with an exterior water-based acrylic from Flame Control Coatings that create a flame-resistant barrier for added protection.
