Give Your Home a New Look with Wooden shutters

Pittsburgh, PA ( Pressreleasecollection ) June 12, 2010 - Looking for a new household design project for your renovations list, but not sure what to add? Consider the appeal of exterior wooden shutters: an affordable, intelligent addition to any home. Wooden shutters provide visually pleasing benefits, can help you save money on utility costs, and can provide an added sense of privacy for you and your family. Estate Millwork, an expert in millwork activities, combines proven old-world techniques with 21st century technology and resources to create beautifully made custom wood window shutters that can both complement any style of house as well as help to reduce your air conditioning and heating expenses. <br /><br />Wooden shutters – The Attractive Choice<br /><br />Shutters can be made using all different types of materials such as faux wood or vinyl, but wood has an added natural touch that other options can’t match. With the added ability to customize every aspect of it, <a href="http://www.estatemillwork.com/wooden-shutters.html">wooden shutters</a> are a welcome addition to any home. Whether you have a historically-influenced home such as Colonial or Plantation, or a more modern architecture, Estate Millwork’s expert designers and craftsmen can help you every step of the way to ensure you find the right match for your house.<br /><br />High-Grade, Long-Lasting Shutters<br /><br />Exterior shutters are most valuable when a high quality wood is used. Estate Millwork understands this, which is why we only commit to using the best FAS (First and Seconds) top-grade hardwoods made of the sturdiest of trees, such as Cedar and Oak. By relying on the best of hardwoods, customers will never have to worry about issues that may arise with lesser products, such as severe wood cracking, rot, paint fade, or termites. Spanish Cedar, one of Estate Millwork’s most frequently used wood types, has a natural resistance to rot, humidity and insects, giving it a significant advantage over various other hardwoods.<br /><br />Commitment to the Environment<br /><br />Estate Millwork is aware of issues associated with lumber-focused industries, and is taking a big step towards reversing trends such as deforestation by fostering partnerships with sustainable forests for all domestic and imported orders. Additionally, Estate has made important investments to ensure that each piece of hardwood gets used as completely as possible, so no lumber is wasted at any point during the process.<br /><br />Estate Millwork has also sought to make sure that our manufacturing facility located in the Allegheny Mountains of Western Pennsylvania works to reduce waste as well. Heating and cooling utilities are kept to a minimum, and are only used when absolutely necessary during work hours. Recycling policies are strictly followed as well, and all of these guidelines help us to produce all of our <a href="http://www.estatemillwork.com/Exterior-Shutters.html">exterior wooden shutters</a> at as low of an operating cost as possible, which are savings we are able to pass on to you.<br /><br />Choose Shutters Made From Proven Techniques<br /><br />There are various techniques companies use to manufacture wooden shutters, but only a few have stood the test of time. Estate Millwork utilizes the construction technique of mortise-tenon joinery, which has been perfected over generations, as we have craftsmen that come from families that have been involved in millwork since the Revolutionary War. Our employee’s honed skills are what make our products so well-made and long-lasting. We start with a long solid cut from a high-grade wood. The cut we use is hand-picked for quality assurance, and ensures that your product will have the longest lifespan possible.<br /><br />Steps to a Perfect Design<br /><br />At Estate Millwork, we encourage you to be involved as much as you desire when it comes to the custom wood shutter creation process. For those who are unfamiliar with all that a shutter is made of, use our <a href="http://www.estatemillwork.com/custom-wood-shutters.html">custom wooden shutters</a> to get a good idea. There are many different options available through this guide, and for most people this should help them get to their ideal shutter. However, if you have a different design altogether in mind, just send us a sketch with the specifications you want, and we’ll do our best to recreate it.<br /><br />ABOUT ESTATE MILLWORK<br /><br />Estate Millwork specializes in exterior wooden shutters, and only uses top-grade hardwoods and proven, effective construction techniques.

Exterior Shutters Add Instant Curb Appeal, Have Green Benefits

Pittsburgh, PA ( Pressreleasecollection ) May 4, 2010 - Want a way to instantly increase the curb appeal of your home and increase its value? Consider exterior window shutters. Exterior shutters not only keep out the rain and the heat – they give you privacy too.<br /><br />Estate Millwork, an exterior shutter manufacturing company located in Southwestern Pennsylvania, offers a wide selection of customized exterior window shutters to suit your home's style. <br /><br />If your home is in a historic style such as Craftsman, Colonial, or Bungalow, Estate Millwork’s master craftsmen can create detailed replicas of custom exterior shutters from many historical periods. For ornate exterior shutters, our expert craftspeople can add touches like custom mouldings or shutter horns. <br /><br />Estate Millwork now offers multiple variations on wood exterior shutter classics, including panel shutters, louvered shutters, and our top-hinged <a href="http://www.estatemillwork.com/Exterior-Shutters.html">exterior shutters</a>. <br /><br />Estate Millwork will custom-craft exterior shutters for your windows of unusual shape or size. Further customization options for plantation exterior shutters include tailor-made rails and stiles, mouse holes, extra-wide or narrow louvers, or decorative faux lift rods.<br /><br />On our Web site, you'll find Custom Online Design Tools that let you design <a href="http://www.estatemillwork.com">custom exterior shutters</a> and receive pricing estimates for made-to-order exterior shutters. <br /><br />Estate Millwork stands out from the pack by using hardwoods for our exterior window shutters, including oak, maple, cherry, and exotics like teak and mahogany. <br /><br />Company craftsmen cut shutter pieces carefully to minimize waste and to maximize product durability.
