Historically Accurate
In the early 1800’s custom made operable shutters were beefier and more robust. Shutters were used to protect openings or create privacy. Historically, the best of the wood species were available in just about any size or dimension. With today’s limited wood sizes and quality, the lack of quality materials has forced many wood shutter manufactures to compromise on size and quality.
With the Aeratis Custom Shutters In-a-Box system each component is extruded to match the exact size of shutters in the early 1800’s. Many companies refer to these sized shutters as their “Architectural” line of products. Typically, these shutters are more expensive. With the Aeratis Custom Shutters In-a-Box system, other’s “Architectural” shutters are our standard shutters. There is no need to reduce the size, quality or the architectural integrity of the shutters, especially when it is 1/3 of the cost of a wood shutter and it include stainless steel hardware and a Limited Lifetime Warranty.

This simple mistake can cost thousands of dollars if a property sale is intended. With the Aeratis Custom Shutters In-a-Box system the choice is available. Leave the shutters open or shut them; preserve the architectural integrity of the property or don’t. To compromise the integrity, is to compromise the aesthetic value and curb appeal of the property.
Simple Assembly
Once all your shutter components are cut to the right size, assembly is a snap. The mortise and stiles are the perfect size to slide the louver into. During the assembly, note where your mid-rail should be located to best match up with the window it will be installed over. With the way the Aeratis Custom Shutters In-a-Box system was designed, the mid-rail covers exactly two mortise holes. This allows for maximum flexibility for mid-rail placement.
Once all the lovers are in place, place the rails into place. (Note: Do not put louvers in the top two mortise holes, this is where the top rail will be installed.) Notice the size of the bottom rail. It is larger than the other two rails. Also, the mid-rail does not have a completely flat surface on the top or the bottom. Once the rails are in place it is best practice to add a clamp to hold everything in place. Next pre-drill in from the stiles into the rails. Add a little construction adhesive and then use the 4-1/4” Stainless steel screws provided to secure the stiles to the rails. When all screws are in place simply remove all the clamps and you are ready to paint your Aeratis Custom Shutter.
