The project
Chapel Hill, Douglasville.
A Chapel Hill new-construction kitchen with a 60 inch sink window over a bay. The builder had left the openings clear; the homeowners wanted a clean white treatment that would forgive the splash and steam of an active kitchen. We specified composite shutters in 3.5 inch louvers across all four kitchen openings, chosen for the easy-clean surface and moisture resistance.
What we installed
Three details that made the install.
Composite shutters
Chosen over basswood because the kitchen sees daily splash and steam; composite cleans with a damp cloth and does not warp.
3.5 inch louvers, hidden tilt rod
The wider louver suits the 60 inch sink-window's scale; hidden tilt rod keeps the view to the back yard uninterrupted.
White finish to match builder trim
Color-matched on the builder's spec sheet so the trim and the shutters read as one piece.
The decision behind it
A kitchen is the one room where we argue against basswood.
Basswood is the better looking material and it carries our lifetime warranty against warp and twist, and we still talked these owners out of it. Four openings around an active range take splash and steam every day of the week. Composite wipes down with a damp cloth and does not care what the stove is doing.
Matching the builder trim white mattered more here than it would in an older house, because new construction sets the shutter frame and the case molding within an inch of each other with nothing in between to soften the join. We pulled the color off the builder spec sheet rather than eyeballing it. This one was a short drive from our door: see plantation shutter installation in Douglasville, or the material range on our plantation shutters page.
