Diagonal Slat Shutters

​

Diagonal Slat shutters are for homeowners who want something that stands apart. While most shutter styles rely on horizontal or vertical lines, the Diagonal Slat style turns that convention on its head — running the slats at an angle across the face of the shutter in a way that creates instant visual energy and a look that is genuinely hard to find anywhere else. This is not a shutter that blends into the background. It draws the eye, adds movement to the exterior, and signals that the details of this home were chosen with care. If you want curb appeal that does something different, Diagonal Slat shutters deliver.

​

Wood Species

​

The wood species you choose shapes everything about your Diagonal Slat shutters — how they age, how they perform, and how they look the day they go up. Each species we offer brings its own character to the table. Western Red Cedar and Cypress are natural performers with built-in resistance to moisture and decay, letting the distinctive diagonal pattern take center stage without any worry about long term performance. Spanish Cedar offers exceptional stability and a distinguished finish that keeps those angled lines looking crisp for years to come. White Oak brings density, strength, and a ray fleck grain that catches the light differently at every angle — a striking combination with the diagonal slat pattern. Meranti Mahogany delivers deep, warm tones that give the diagonal lines a richness and depth that is genuinely hard to replicate. If you prefer a painted finish right out of the box, our primed shutters arrive ready for your color of choice.

​

Rail Style

​

The rails and stiles of a Diagonal Slat shutter provide the structural framework that holds the angled slats in place and gives the finished shutter its clean, intentional appearance. Our shutters are built with rail and stile dimensions scaled to the width of each shutter, ensuring the frame always feels proportional to the bold diagonal pattern within. Narrower shutters feature slightly lighter framing, while wider shutters step up in dimension to maintain the right visual weight across the full face of the shutter. The frame is what keeps the energy of the diagonal pattern focused — and ours are built to do exactly that.

How to Size Shutters for Your Windows

​

A well-sized shutter makes all the difference — and with the bold, dynamic presence of the Diagonal Slat style, proper sizing ensures the pattern has enough room to make the impact it deserves. As a general rule, each shutter in a pair should be half the width of the window opening, so that if the shutters were closed they would cover the window completely. For height, shutters should match the full height of the window from the top of the trim to the bottom. When in doubt, measure twice — a shutter that is even an inch off can affect the overall look more than most people expect. If you have questions about sizing for your specific windows, we are happy to help you get it right before you order.
