Mountain Pine Shutters, located in La Canada Flintridge near Pasadena and Glendale, uses the best engineering design and material to make plantation and traditional shutters.
Our tension screw system allows adjustment of louver tension with a slight turn of the screw. We use extra long, heavy gauge staples in the louvers and tilt rods to ensure strength. Every wood shutter panel is assembled with 3/8" fluted hardwood dowels, glued on 1" centers, giving the shutter panel lock-tight durability.

Basswood: our premium wood shutter with many great qualities. As a hardwood, basswood has no resin to bleed through the finish. It is a light hardwood, so these shutters have no sagging problems from excessive weight and virtually no warp.
Polywood: our premium non-wood shutter. It is weather proof, flame resistant and reduces outside noise. A Polywood shutter is constructed of solid components, does not yellow, can be painted any color and is ideal for those hard-to-treat windows.
Chinese Gesso: a composite of several woods with basswood-like qualities. Imported from Chinese mills, all components are laminated and finger jointed resulting in a very straight, strong and unlikely-to-warp material. Gesso flow coated and easy to finish, this process is an exceptional value.

Mountain Pine Shutter will color match or custom finish AT NO ADDITIONAL COST! Our finishing process is a thirteen-step process in which the raw wood is sanded when milled, sanded again after being cut into components, and sanded by hand before being undercoated. After a series of undercoats, our shutters are completely sanded by hand and machine with a fine grit paper. Then the shutters are painted and proof sanded with an extra-fine grit. This process includes many thin coats of nitrocellulose lacquer and more than five sanding steps between coats.

There is no difference between plantation shutters and wide louver shutters. Plantation shutter is a traditional term for the wide louvered design. For more information, please see our page on the history of shutters.
