The bungalow home had the original screened windows.
These windows were hinged and used to swing open the windows for the use of air
flow and to cool the home on hot summer days; obviously the home was built way
before air conditioning was the 'norm'. This provided a
small challenge when installing the shutters. We solved this
challenge by building a small box frame and attaching it to the classic mission
style trim casing around the jamb of the window. This allowed the clearance
needed to accommodate the shutters to open and close freely; as well
as, the windows to hinge open and close as the homeowner desired.
In the 'old fashioned' design the windows were double hung. Although many
shutter professionals may tell you the obvious choice was not to double hang
the shutters, this particular shutter and style of home begged for the classic
appeal of a double hung unit. Top and bottom shutters give you the option
to fully swing open the top shutters for natural light while leaving the lower
shutters closed for privacy.
The shutters turned out to look like they were part of the
homes design, not an after thought.
This project gave Stanfield Shutter a "blast from the
past" feeling while producing the shutters.
It was a trip down
memory lane; as this was what Stanfield Shutter Company was originally know for
in the companies humble beginnings in the 1950's. We invite you to have
Stanfield Shutter Company show you the many designs and appeal that shutters
can add to your home. Give us a call today for a free in-home estimate
