what are shutters?

Shutters are window treatments consisting of solid or slatted panels that are hinged and mounted to the exterior or interior of a window frame. They can be made of various materials, such as wood, vinyl, or composite materials, and are available in a range of colors and styles to complement the aesthetics of a home or building. Shutters can be opened or closed to regulate the amount of light and air that enters a room, as well as provide privacy and security. They also offer additional insulation and noise reduction benefits. Shutters can be operated manually or with the use of motorization.
