The True Meaning of "Made to Order"
What does “custom” really mean? For us, it goes far beyond precise measurements. It’s about crafting a window solution that feels inherently part of your home, not just an accessory added to it. It’s the peace of mind that comes from knowing every detail, seen and unseen, is designed for lasting beauty and performance. This is the philosophy behind every ANYHOO shutter.
1. Your Style, Your Control: The Tilt Rod Choice
This is your first design decision. The tilt rod shouldn’t be an afterthought.
Do you prefer the practical, off-to-the-side placement of an offset rod?
The classic, symmetrical statement of a central rod?
Or, for the ultimate clean look, our silent/invisible rods are seamlessly integrated into the frame itself.
The choice is entirely yours, allowing you to control both light and aesthetics without compromise.
2. A Foundation of Stability: Hand-Selected, Quarter-Sawn Hardwoods
We don’t just use wood; we curate it. Our hand-selected, quarter-sawn hardwoods are chosen for one reason: lifelong stability. The quarter-sawing method yields a finer, straighter grain that is inherently more resistant to warping than conventionally sawn timber. This creates a perfectly uniform canvas that honors rich stains and smooth paint finishes, ensuring the wood’s true character shines through for decades.
3. Timeless Strength: The Mortise & Tenon Promise
In an era of shortcuts, we build to last. The mortise and tenon joint is the cornerstone of our construction—renowned as the strongest joint in fine woodworking. This isn’t just about strength; it’s about intelligent design. This interlocking connection provides a resilience that stands up to daily use and the test of time, ensuring your shutter frames remain solid and perfectly aligned.
4. A Flawless Finish: The Hallmark of Heirloom Quality
You can see and feel the difference. Each shutter is hand-sanded and hand-finished five times. This meticulous, human-driven process is what creates the deep, high-lustre, and translucent finish that machines cannot replicate. It’s the definitive mark of furniture-quality craftsmanship, made to become a lasting part of your home.
5. The Unseen Integrity: Recessed Magnets & Stainless Steel
True quality lies in the details you don’t see. We use recessed magnets for a clean, silent, and flush closure—no bulky hardware in sight. And internally, every critical fastener is stainless steel, chosen for its unwavering resistance to corrosion. This is the built-in peace of mind that the beauty you see is backed by integrity that will last.
6. Our Secret to a Perfect Fit: Prescription Wood Conditioning
This is what truly sets us apart. A shutter can only be as stable as its environment allows. That’s why, before construction even begins, we measure the humidity of your specific building. The wood is then dried and cured to match this exact environment. This proactive, prescription-based approach prevents future swelling, shrinking, or cracking, guaranteeing a perfect, permanent fit that is tailored not just to your window, but to your home.
