Do you love the warmth and character of natural wood? Knotty alder highlights the organic variations that make real wood so distinctive, including visible knots, grain patterns and natural color variation. It pairs beautifully with other wood elements in the home, from flooring and cabinetry to doors and trim. Knotty alder is one of the distinctive looks available when designing custom wood shutters for your home. Let’s explore what makes Knotty Alder Shutters such a unique choice.
The Natural Beauty of Knotty Alder Shutters
Rather than hiding the natural characteristics of the wood, Knotty Alder Shutters celebrate details such as knots, holes, whorls and grain variations. The result is a warm, organic look in which each shutter has its own character.
Our Knotty Alder Shutters are custom crafted to fit your windows and can even be designed for specialty-shaped windows. A range of stain options allows you to coordinate your shutters with flooring, cabinetry, furniture and other wood finishes throughout your home.
Light Control, Privacy & Comfort
Knotty Alder Shutters offer more than the beauty of natural wood. Adjustable louvers let you manage the amount and direction of natural light entering the room, helping you reduce glare, create privacy and limit direct sunlight on furnishings and flooring.
Because the shutters are custom measured and built to fit the window, they also add another layer between your home’s interior and the glass. Closing the louvers can help manage incoming sunlight and heat while adding to the comfort of the room.
See the Difference Knotty Alder Shutters Can Make
Natural wood shutters can completely change the character of a room. This before-and-after project shows how Knotty Alder Shutters added architectural detail to the dining space while giving the homeowners greater control over sunlight, glare and privacy.
With the louvers adjusted, natural light can still enter the room while direct rays are redirected away from the interior. The shutters also provide privacy when needed while allowing the beauty and natural variation of the stained wood to become part of the room’s design.
