Design and Realization of Weather-Resistant Shutters by Roger

Dreaming of an authentic look for your home with a personal touch? Roger has beautifully illustrated this by creating weather-resistant shutters with routed grooves, a project that not only enhances the aesthetics but also contributes to the durability of your home.

Features of the Shutter Project

Roger’s custom-made shutters have a classic dark blue color that perfectly complements the red brick of his house. Cut to size by OPMAATZAGEN.nl, the Okoumé Marine Ply with a thickness of 18 mm was transformed into a base for the shutters. The addition of the routed grooves not only adds finesse to the design but also creates a playful light effect on the façade when the shutters are closed.

Flexibility and Customization

Making shutters yourself offers flexibility in sizing and material choice. Roger chose plywood for its robust quality and ease of maintenance. The dimensions of the shutters are precisely tailored to the dimensions of his windows, making this DIY solution not only cost-effective but also adding a personalized touch to the living environment.

Style and Finish of the Project

Roger’s shutters have a timeless country style that complements the character of his home. The durable finish and weather-resistant paint ensure that the shutters remain attractive for years to come. It’s these small yet significant details that make the shutters not just functional but also an extension of the residents' personal style.

Benefits of Multiplex Okoumé Marine Ply 18 mm

Using Multiplex Okoumé Marine Ply for these shutters offers many benefits. This wood has excellent weather-resistant properties, making it particularly suitable for outdoor use. It is a stable material with a homogeneous structure, meaning it is well-suited for routing grooves and other processing without the risk of splitting or warping. The 18 mm thickness provides a sturdy construction that can withstand impacts, while the wood remains light enough for easy opening and closing of the shutters.
