The Difference Is Fit, Proportion, and Finish

Proportion Note: Shutters look “right” when they’re sized to the window — a common guideline is each shutter is about one-third of the window width (so a pair would cover the opening if closed). We confirm sizing in the field so it’s not guesswork.

Pick the Look First

Choose the style that matches your home’s architecture. Style is independent of your package level.

Louvered

Classic horizontal slat design — timeless and most popular.

Raised Panel

Clean, formal panels for a refined, traditional finish.

Board & Batten

Vertical board styling for farmhouse, cottage, and rustic aesthetics.

Bahama / Bermuda

Top-hinged louvered shutters that tilt outward for shade and ventilation.

Mission

Simple, flat-panel style with clean lines and minimal detail.

Custom Cutout

Shutters featuring decorative cutout shapes (pine tree, anchor, etc.).

EP ShutterSeries™ Packages

EP ShutterSeries™ is our exterior shutter installation system. Each package tier controls the build quality, fit precision, material grade, hardware level, and overall finish standard — not the style.
