HERITANCE® HARDWOOD SHUTTERS

Hunter Douglas Heritance® Hardwood Shutters are a perfect choice for both traditionalists and those who admire a more modern style. The benefits of wood shutters make for quite a lengthy list, and we’d love to share them with you. Wood shutters are a timeless investment in your home’s interior. Considered a “permanent feature” by the real estate industry, hardwood shutters add to the value of one’s home and will last for many years.

Heritance® Hardwood Shutters are crafted using premium Truemill® dovetail construction with solid and interlocking components—resulting in a high-end finishing. Hunter Douglas has a reputation for premium quality for very good reasons. In addition to Truemill® dovetail construction, Hunter Douglas also uses Integra™ Finish, which is applied using a multi-coat process to produce a long-lasting luster. You can also select from several designer finishing techniques designed to bring out the inherent beauty and character of natural wood.
Hardwood shutters from Hunter Douglas are sourced from responsibly sourced and renewable basswood or poplar hardwood, and Hunter Douglas makes a donation to the Arbor Day Foundation with each Heritance® Hardwood Shutters purchase.

Superior Insulation

Genuine hardwood provides exceptional insulation against both sound and temperature. When the louvers and slats are closed, your home will feel like a tranquil oasis even if you live on a busy street. The composition of natural wood also provides a weather barrier against cool air in the winter and warm air in the summer. You can rest easy knowing your hardwood shutters are increasing your home’s energy efficiency and that your space is looking great while saving you money.

Low Maintenance, High Privacy

If anyone in your home suffers from allergies or asthma, wood shutters are an excellent choice for window coverings. While fabric window treatments are quite absorbant to contaminants and require regular cleaning to rid them of the dust and dirt, wood shutters are easily cleaned with a soft, dry cloth. Aside from the occasional conditioning with quality wood oil, your wood shutters will essentially care for themselves.

Exquisite UV Protection

Your home’s interior needs protection from damaging UV rays, and wood shutters are a gorgeous way to provide it. You can tilt the louvers of your shutters to allow as much, or as little, sunshine and UV exposure as you’d like. This can help your furnishing, floor coverings, and artwork from becoming faded or discolored by the sun.

Increased Security

The solid nature of shutters and the ability to lock close also increase your home’s security against prying eyes and potential crimes. Heritance Hardwood Shutters are also incredibly customizable. You can choose from more than 35 finishes, or have a custom color created just for your home.

Operation Options

  • A front tilt bar is a standard system available on all Hunter Douglas wood shutters. The tilt bar connects the louvers to allow them to open and close in unison for a smooth look.
  • For a minimalist, contemporary look, opt for TruView rear tilt. This simple system is big on functionality. Simply tilt one louver to the desired angle, and the other louvers will follow into place.
  • Our Bi-Fold Track is ideal for large windows showcasing spectacular views. The shutter panels are hinged together and connected to a top track that supports and guides the panels over large expanses of windows or sliding glass doors.
  • The Bypass Track system provides smooth operation and allows panels to slide past one another without interruption.
  • With Bypass Open Louvers, the louvers can remain open while the panels are sliding or stacking so you can continue enjoying the view.
