ᐅ Our house now has window shutters!

Created on: 10 Jul 2021 22:35

A local carpentry workshop made us beautiful larch shutters… however, they were untreated/raw. We primed them ourselves and painted them with our chosen color (RAL 7033 cement gray) using a spray gun. Today we installed them.. tada..

For those who want an even cheaper option: we once had a Greece-inspired theme on our timber frame house. We painted the doors on the upper floor blue and mounted them directly on the plaster.

Aluminum shutters are unfortunately very, very expensive. They can easily cost around a thousand euros per window, adding up to around 20,000 euros for an entire house. I believe it is the most expensive shading option, but also the most attractive one 🙂

As promised, here are some pictures of the shutters. They have a timeless look. As mentioned, these are or were used shutters from Baden Württemberg that are now installed in Saxony-Anhalt. In some regions, shutters are much more common.
Aluminum is practically indestructible anyway.
