About Shutter Panels
Real Wood...Real JoineryFour critical joinery details are important in the design of a quality shutter panel. In each of these O’Hair Shutters combine time-honored methods of construction with computer-controlled precision (+/-.005”) resulting in panels built to last for the life of your home.
Intelligent Design... It’s in every shutter we build

Shutter Panels Mortise and Tenon Joinery Our mortise and tenon joint design for maximum glue surface area. Wet-to-wet glue application plus special “draw-tight” assembly screws result in optimal intimate contact and excellent joint strength. |
 |
Monolithic Louver Tenons Louvers pivot on tenons that are formed from the louver profile itself. The resulting monolithic grain structure of each tenon provides the strongest pivot design in the industry. |
 |
Adjustable Stabilouver The louver at the middle of each tilt rod receives brass bushings for preset tension. In addition, screws are applied to retain the stiles and to allow adjustment of tilting action. Louvers are thus sure to hold any desired tilt position. |
 |
Continuous Tilt Rod Linkage A common problem never seen in an O’Hair Shutter is detached louvers due to tilt rod staples that pulled out. Instead, a continuous aluminum linkage thoroughly glued into the back of the tilt rod provides extraordinary strength. The connecting louver staples made of #304 stainless are deep set for decades of trouble free service. |
