The following are basic definitions of the important components that go into the construction of all Finecraft Custom Shutters. Louvers: Oval shaped blades, made from top grade American Yellow Poplar & Solid Oak, that swivel on nylon pins to control natural light, allow for temperature control, and provide natural beauty.
