NEWSTYLE® HYBRID SHUTTERS

The Look of Real Hardwood

Modern faux wood shades and vinyl shutters don’t lack for aesthetic beauty simply because they are technologically advanced. High-end finishes available on NewStyle® window shutters create striking window fashions with solid colors or charming arboreal realness with wood-like finishes.

UltraGrain™ for NewStyle® Window Shutters

With the UltraGrain™ Finish, faux wood shutters are imbued with the look of genuine hardwood. This effect is achieved by precisely replicating the grain of natural wood on the wood composite materials for window shutters that have the warm characteristics of real hardwood treatments.

Finetech® Finish for NewStyle® Window Shutters

The proprietary Finetech® system from Hunter Douglas creates a low-luster finish on faux wood shutters for discerning window treatments with the authoritative air and graceful charm of real wood shutters.

Creating the best window shutter starts with the best materials followed by using the highest levels of craftsmanship and the latest in design technology to form them together. NewStyle® Hybrid Shutters are crafted from advanced synthetic materials and designed by Hunter Douglas, an industry leader with over 100 years of product knowledge. The treatment is assembled with quality Truemill® dovetail construction whose sound design is established by using interlocking components. This masterful technique is used on quality faux wood and real wood shutters by Hunter Douglas.

Enjoy effortless maneuverability with NewStyle® window shutters, which were designed to be both user-friendly and have a high level of precision and control. The intuitive design makes the shutters convenient to use while precise movement and control improve the efficiency and the overall performance of the window shutters. NewStyle® Hybrid Shutters are available with several specialty systems that improve the functionality of the treatment and the chicness of its design.

HiddenTilt™

Empower the linear optics and view-through capabilities of traditional window shutters by upgrading to a HiddenTilt™ system. Negating the use of a tilt bar, movement is produced with this specialty system through the use of an invisible gear system tucked strategically out of sight inside the panel. With an aesthetically cleaner design, the window shutters provide a greater visual draw and a polished overall look.

SoftClose™ Louvers

Smooth, gentle movement is achieved with a SoftClose™ system that eases the movement of a shutter’s louvers. Like high-end cabinet drawers that ease themselves closed with a soft touch, SoftClose™ shutters softly fall into place automatically when engaged by quick positioning touch.

In addition to specialty systems related to the tilting of the louvers on window shutters, there are also several styles of operational systems that allow for the opening of entire shutter panels. Hunter Douglas has styles of both bi-fold tracking or sliding bypass tracking that allow their faux wood shutters to be pulled back completely for an unencumbered view and unobstructed natural airflow.

Faux wood shutters are incredibly adaptable because their construction materials are controllable and moldable. Faux wood shutters can be crafted to specialty window shapes, custom window sizes, or unique design aesthetics with seamless precision thanks to their customizable options. Each option allows homeowners to more finely tune their window shutters to specifically meet their unique household needs and style of décor.

Specialty Shapes

NewStyle® window shutters can be tailored to fit a number of unique window shapes that might be found in residential or commercial buildings. Distinctive architectural styles or one-off shapes need not be a worry when looking for new window treatments because of the custom shaping available with faux wood shutters. Specialty shapes could include horizontal styles for both windows and doors, for adaptable design to suit a number of different window treatment needs.

No matter if windows are small, petite portholes or mammoth picture windows, NewStyle® window shutters can be made to fit. These faux wood shutters come in sizes as small as 7 inches wide by 12 inches tall, and they grow in size up all the way up to 288 inches wide and up to 116 inches tall. So, no matter if your window is less than a foot wide or spans a whopping 24 feet, Hunter Douglas window shutters can be tailored to a wide range of window sizes.

NewStyle® Shutter Size

• Widths – 7" to 288"
• Heights – 12" to 116"

Color Palette

Color, tints, tones, and shades are used smartly in the palette for NewStyle® window shutters to create a range of nuanced colors to choose from. Because of the controlled creation of the man-made materials used to make faux wood shades, the colors of the final treatment can be precisely controlled for rich, long-lasting hues suitable for modern or classic design. Like traditional wood shutters, faux wood shutters come in several wood-colored hues, and they are also available in several shades of neutral white including crisp white, Swiss cream, polar white, true white, or white lace.

Design Aesthetic

NewStyle® window shutters by Hunter Douglas come with louvers available in three sizes: small (2½ inch), medium (3½ inch), and large (4½ inch). By changing the size of the louver used in a window shutter you affect the view-through capabilities of the treatment, the privacy afforded by the shutter, and the overall aesthetic of the window fashion. Using smaller louver sizes means that more louvers can fit into a single panel. More louvers mean more coverage for increased privacy at the expense of some visibility. Larger louvers have larger spaces between them and so afford a better, more open view but also therefore a bit less privacy. The size of a louver on a window shutter can also affect the aesthetics of a window treatment by casting it in a more contemporary or classic light. Smaller louver sizes have a more traditional look, especially in neutral wood tones, while larger louver sizes have a more modern look, especially in bold neutrals like solid white.

NewStyle® Louver Sizes

• Small – 2.5"
• Medium – 3.5"
• Large – 4.5"

With treatments available to match almost any specialty shape, size, or aesthetic; NewStyle® window shutters can be used throughout a structure to get both the benefits of faux wood shutters on a room-by-room basis and to add to the continuity of design throughout the entire space.
