DeVenco Builds Shutters To Last a Lifetime
In 4 To 8 Weeks Time
The Georgian shutters you buy today will be enjoyed by the next
generation, we guarantee it.
- Solid wood components- There are no finger jointed or “glued
up parts” all components are solid wood custom milled to
exacting specifications in our factory. There are no ready made
parts, imported parts or stock fabricated parts. And never faux
wood.
- Mortise and dowel construction. DeVenco shutters are not screwed
together, stapled or pinned together. We use old fashioned cabinetmaker
joinery. This assures the shutter will never fall out of square
at the joints under its own weight.
- Nylon rotation pins. Louver operation is smooth and effortless,
even after being refinished numerous times.
- Full size one inch by two inch beaded stiles assure proportional
design aesthetically as well as structural integrity.
- 3 ½ inch louvers spaced at 3 inches on center provide
excellent closure and actual room darkening in daylight.
- Lock rails are standard at no extra charge and provide structural
support and absolute stability within a panel while allowing upper
louvers to function separately from lower louvers.
- Mortising for hanging hinges is standard allowing a custom fit
within the window jamb.
- Rabbetted stiles provide total privacy and just one more custom
feature
- Hardware available in brass or nickel finish.
DeVenco Caribbean Shutters Are Constructed Of The Finest Material
Available.
All wood is milled by us in our shop. There are no prefab or stock
sized parts. All work is done in our shop by skilled craftsmen to
the highest standards in the industry today.
The components for each shutter are cut by hand, piece by piece
the old fashioned way, and then assembled by hand using old world
cabinetmaker construction techniques.
After assembly each shutter is sanded and buffed by hand and prepared
for finishing. All shutters receive a superlative finish in the
color specified by you, again applied by hand. The result is a automotive
quality finish that will be easy to maintain and which should last
for many years. In fact…. Any DeVenco shutter that requires
refinishing before the room needs repainting will be refinished
by DeVenco at no charge to you. We have offered this guarantee for
many years.
After three days in the drying chamber, and the finish has adequately
cured, hardware is carefully set on each shutter, and they are packed
like Waterford crystal for shipping.
When your DeVenco shutters arrive they are ready to install, no
assembly required. Each hanging hinge is adjustable to allow you
to make fine adjustments in the installation in order to align each
panel with its mate. Tools required for installation are: screw
gun with Philips and square drives, 1/8” drill bit, 1/8”shim
and one cup of coffee for each window. Our staff is available for
support Monday - Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM EST. Do not hesitate to call.
