What’s the Best Wood for Shutters?

For interior wood shutters, basswood is a top choice due to its strength, lightweight nature, and resistance to warping. It also stains beautifully and is a renewable resource. Other excellent wood options include:

• Oak – Durable with a rich grain pattern.
• Maple – Strong and smooth for a refined look.
• Cedar – Naturally resistant to moisture and insects.
• Alder & Pine – Budget-friendly with rustic charm.

How do I choose the right wood shutter style for my home?

Choosing the right wood shutter style depends on your décor, window size, and functional needs. Traditional plantation shutters with wide louvers offer a timeless look, while café-style shutters provide partial coverage for added privacy and light control. 

Are wood shutters energy-efficient?

Yes! Wood shutters provide excellent insulation by reducing heat transfer through your windows. When closed, they help keep your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, leading to potential energy savings. Basswood, in particular, is a great insulator due to its density and durability.

How do I maintain and clean wood shutters?

To keep wood shutters looking their best, regularly dust them with a microfiber cloth or soft brush attachment on a vacuum. For deeper cleaning, use a damp (not wet) cloth with mild soap, avoiding excess moisture to prevent warping. Avoid harsh chemicals, and consider occasional polishing to maintain their rich finish.
