Louvers
The size of the louver is a personal preference, with decor style, opening depth, and light requirements influencing the final selection.
For larger windows, or for those who seek a more contemporary look, wide louvers often work best and will allow a greater view. For those wanting to achieve a more traditional look, narrow louvers are a preferred choice.
Materials
High-quality painted or stained wood shutters are extremely stable and long-lived in the Florida environment.
There is a wide range of quality in the marketplace, from hollow vinyl panels (to reduce the cost of the expensive oil-based raw materials) to lightweight composite or fiberboard “engineered wood” louvers.
Millennium Shutters uses only the highest quality, solid raw materials. Our shutters will not warp or yellow over time. They are are 100% recyclable and do not release harmful contaminants like formaldehyde, a common indoor pollutant, into your home.

Additional Options
Number of Panels
Associated with louver selection is the number of shutter panels in an opening. Classic Series wood panels can be fabricated up to 36”, depending on the configuration.
Mid-Rails
Panels can be divided into upper and lower sections by adding mid-rails or divider rails. As a result, the louvers in each section can be opened and closed independently of each other. This is valuable in rooms like bedrooms and bathrooms, or entryway doors where privacy can be controlled by closing the lower section while light can be controlled by opening and closing the upper section.
Tilt Rods
For a traditional style, the louvers are controlled by a “tilt rod” at the center of the front of the panel. This is known as “front tilt”. If a cleaner, modern style is desired, the tilt rod is moved to the back of the panel on one side so that the view through the shutters is unimpeded. This is known as “hidden tilt” or “clear view.”
Finishes
As a locally manufactured custom product, we can provide you with a plethora of choices in finishes. Whether you choose to paint or stain, we can match them to your specific needs.
