Window shutters have been used since ancient
times for light control and ventilation in warm,
sunny climates. Today, thanks to technological
advances in window materials and production
methods, non-wood shutters have evolved
beyond the Sunbelt and into the mainstream
of modern window fashion, from exterior
protection to an interior design element that
has captured the imagination of designers
around the world.
