SHUTTERS

Wood leaves to control the light.

Louvered shutters, solid shutters and insect screens in solid wood that go with windows and doors, to shade and ventilate without opening the house completely.

WINDOWS AND SCREENS / SHUTTERS

Shade and air, the coastal way.

Louvered shutters with angled slats let air through while holding back sun and rain. Solid shutters close completely and darken the room. They are mounted outside or inside the window and belong to the traditional architecture of warm climates.

At Casa Coco in Zipolite, we made doors, shutters and casement windows with Permacasco for the humidity, salt and sun of the coast. For Expendio Tradición in Oaxaca, designed by Ezequiel Farca, we made interiors, furniture, doors, shutters and windows.

HOW WE MAKE THEM

They work together with the window.

  • Slats with the angle and spacing the site’s sun and rain call for.
  • Stable frames that do not warp with humidity.
  • Corrosion-resistant hinges, bolts and stays on the coast.
  • The same wood and finish as the window or door.
  • Installation by our own team and maintenance of the pieces we make.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Wood shutters

What is the difference between louvered and solid shutters?

Louvered shutters have angled slats that let air through while holding back sun and rain. Solid shutters are blind leaves that close completely and darken the room. Both can be combined on the same window.

Do they work at the beach?

Yes, that is where they are used most. At Casa Coco in Zipolite, we made wood shutters for the humidity, salt and sun. On the coast we use stable wood, corrosion-resistant hardware and a finish that is renewed more often.

Do you make wood insect screens?

Yes. We make wood-framed insect screens, hinged or sliding, built into the window or door frame.
