Exterior shutters with Milled Slots, by Roger

Design and Realization of Weatherproof Shutters by Roger

Do you dream of an authentic look for your home with a personal touch? Roger beautifully illustrated this by making weatherproof shutters himself with routed grooves, a project that not only enhances aesthetics but also contributes to the durability of your home.

Features of the Shutters Project

Roger's custom-made shutters have a classic dark blue color that perfectly complements the red brick of his house. Cut to size by TOSIZE.at, the 18 mm thick Okoumé Marine Ply was transformed into a base for the shutters. The addition of the routed grooves not only adds finesse to the design but also creates a playful light effect on the facade when the shutters are closed.

Flexibility and Customization

Making shutters yourself offers flexibility in sizing and material choice. Roger chose plywood for its sturdy quality and ease of maintenance. The dimensions of the shutters are precisely matched to the dimensions of his windows, making this DIY solution not only cost-effective but also adding a personalized touch to the living environment.

Style and Finish of the Project

Roger's shutters have a timeless country style that matches the character of his home. The durable finish and weatherproof paint ensure that the shutters remain attractive for years. It is these small but significant details that make the shutters not only functional but also an extension of the personal style of the homeowners.

Advantages of Okoumé Marine Ply 18 mm

Using Okoumé Marine Ply 18 mm for these shutters offers many benefits. This wood has excellent weather-resistant properties, making it particularly suitable for outdoor use. It is a stable material with a homogeneous structure, which means it is well-suited for routing grooves and other processes without risk of splitting or warping. The 18 mm thickness ensures a sturdy construction that can withstand impacts while remaining light enough to easily open and close the shutters.
