Exterior True Board and 'n Batten Cedar Wood Shutters
Exterior Board and Batten Shutters with Variable Boards & Options
Board & Batten exterior wood shutters inspire a Mediterranean feel. By incorporating the Z-board, the Board & Batten exterior wood shutter is a classic on Ranch style architecture.
Constructed from full 1" thick equally spaced, custom sized boards. Board width is determined by overall shutter width and Board count, which may be specified to achieve custom board counts.
Unless otherwise specified, the goal is vertical boards of about 6" +/- depending on overall panel width. If decorative cut outs are desired the panel must have a even number of boards for the cut out on a gap joint. Standard gap is 1/8"
Constructed with full 1" thick horizontal or Z Battens for strength and durability.
The horizontal battens, or cross Z can be on the front or the back of the panel. The overall thickness becomes 2" if functional hinges are being considered. 
Each Board & Batten exterior shutter joint has stainless steel screws, as well as a wood peg, preventing any possibility of sagging over time. This time tested construction method is further enhanced by the use of Franklin type III, water proof exterior glue.
Western Red Cedar, a naturally decay-resistant wood, is the preferred choice for this exterior shutter application. Straight and light in weight, nothing matches the performance of Western Red Cedar.
