Horizontal Slat Exterior Wood Shutters - Cedar - Set of 2

Horizontal slat exterior shutters in solid Western Red Cedar with a clean contemporary design, sold in pairs, available in eight heights from 36″ to 84″ and a range of finishes. Good Shutter's Horizontal Slat suits modern farmhouses, coastal builds, and contemporary craftsman exteriors.

The clean horizontal lines of the Horizontal Slat Exterior Shutters suit modern farmhouses, contemporary craftsman homes, coastal builds, and any exterior that leans toward the current rather than the traditional. Each shutter is made from solid Western Red Cedar: the preferred exterior wood species for shutters and siding precisely because it contains natural tannins and oils that repel rot, insects, and moisture without requiring chemical pressure-treatment. The horizontal slat pattern adds visual texture to flat exterior walls and pairs naturally with board-and-batten, lap siding, and fiber cement panels.

Why Western Red Cedar for Exterior Shutters?

• Natural tannins repel rot and insects - no pressure treatment required
• Lightweight relative to hardwoods - easier mounting, less hardware stress
• Accepts paint and stain evenly - our finishes penetrate deeply for lasting color
• Dimensionally stable - resists warping and splitting through seasonal temperature and humidity cycles

Common Questions

Are horizontal slat shutters as weather-resistant as other styles?
Yes. The cedar material and mounting hardware are identical across all four of our shutter styles. The horizontal orientation only changes the visual profile, not the durability.

What home styles suit horizontal slat shutters?
Modern farmhouse, contemporary craftsman, and coastal exteriors, since the clean horizontal lines read as more current than traditional board and batten or brace-style shutters.

Can horizontal slat shutters be painted after purchase?
Yes. Order Unfinished and paint or stain to your exact color match. Cedar accepts paint and stain evenly across the slat surface.
