The Last Honest Shutter

At Elizabeth Shutters, we craft our shutters and doors from 100% whole North American Basswood, a sustainable and renewable resource. Unlike synthetic materials like PVC or Polyurethane, Basswood offers superior strength, lightness, and rigidity, ensuring minimal sagging and enhanced durability. This choice provides a premium finish and aligns with our commitment to environmental responsibility.

While plastic materials may have a higher R-value, their tendency to sag over time necessitates wider gaps between moving parts, reducing insulation efficiency. In contrast, our Basswood shutters maintain their shape and integrity, allowing for tighter tolerances and superior insulation performance.

Engineered woods contain multiple joints and glue lines, which can be susceptible to temperature fluctuations and direct sunlight damage. These vulnerabilities can lead to deterioration and structural issues over time. By exclusively using whole Basswood, we ensure our shutters and doors withstand environmental challenges, providing lasting beauty and functionality.

Our Basswood shutters are designed to endure typical moisture levels in areas like beaches, snowy regions, and foggy climates. However, in spaces with direct water exposure, such as bathrooms or kitchens, we recommend our range of shades, blinds, or plastic shutters to ensure longevity and optimal performance.

We take full responsibility for our products and services by employing dedicated full-time staff for manufacturing, installation, re-measurements, and sales. This approach ensures consistent quality and accountability, safeguarding our clients from potential liabilities associated with subcontracted work.

Our team comprises seasoned professionals with extensive experience in the window-coverings industry. Installers and technical personnel average nearly 16 years with Elizabeth Shutters, while our sales team boasts over 12 years with us and 20–25 years in the industry. This depth of expertise has earned us top ratings and awards from esteemed publications and organizations.

We manufacture our products locally in Colton, California, allowing us to offer industry-leading delivery times. Under normal conditions, we guarantee custom deliveries in Northern California and proudly offer a 28-working-day delivery in Southern California and Nevada. Depending on availability, rush orders may be accommodated in as little as three to five days.
