The exact origin of exterior window shutters is unknown, but it has been established that the ancient Greeks had louvered shutters made from marble to provide shade from window openings.
The use of shutters quickly spread across Europe and it wasn’t long before timber became the most commonly used shutter material.
Timber weather proofing shutters were simply boards of timber that could be fitted into slots or catches on a window frame, either inside or outside of a building.
The very poorest of people might alternatively use bundles of reeds or thatch to make mat-like shutters, if timber proved too expensive or was in short supply.
However, anyone wishing to make a statement about their wealth or standing in the community would have louvered timber shutters that opened and closed on hinges.
Today with the technology of windows, the need for operational shutters are not necessary, however Dinesol’s decorative shutters can add a touch of colour, class and beauty to any home’s exterior.
