Frequently Asked Questions
Types Of Wood Used To Manufacture Shutters
AZ Window Covering utilizes Basswood as the best material for making wood shutters.
Basswood, actually from the American Linden tree, is ideal for shutters for a number of reasons. Here are four basic reasons why we prefer Basswood shutters:
1) Basswood is strong but it is also light
2) Basswood has a grain that is uniform allowing a beautiful stain finish
3) It is easy to glue and to finish
4) Basswood trees are growing faster than they are being harvested
5) Basswood does not warp
