Construction and Materials
New Horizon Shutters International offers a diverse range of shutter solutions, meticulously constructed with a focus on durability and aesthetic appeal. The materials and construction methods employed vary depending on the specific product line, catering to both interior and exterior applications, as well as specialized components and hurricane protection.
For their interior shutter lines, New Horizon Shutters International often utilizes high-quality wood materials. These wood shutters are typically constructed using select hardwoods known for their strength, stability, and ability to hold finishes beautifully. The construction involves precise joinery techniques to ensure longevity and a premium feel. Louver styles can range from traditional fixed louvers to adjustable ones, offering control over light and privacy. The finishing process involves multiple stages of sanding, priming, and painting or staining to achieve a smooth, flawless surface that complements any home decor.
Exterior shutters from New Horizon Shutters International are engineered to withstand the elements. Depending on the series, these shutters may be crafted from durable composite materials, treated wood, or high-grade aluminum. Composite shutters offer excellent resistance to warping, cracking, and fading, making them a low-maintenance option. Aluminum shutters are renowned for their strength and corrosion resistance, providing a robust barrier against weather. The construction of exterior shutters emphasizes structural integrity, often featuring reinforced frames and secure mounting systems to ensure they remain firmly in place during harsh weather conditions. Finishes for exterior shutters are specifically formulated for outdoor use, providing UV protection and resistance to moisture.
Within their offerings of Shutter Components, New Horizon Shutters International provides meticulously crafted parts designed for the assembly and repair of shutters. These components are manufactured to exacting standards, utilizing materials appropriate for their function, such as sturdy metal hardware for hinges and latches, and durable wood or composite materials for louvers and frames. The precision in manufacturing ensures seamless integration with existing shutter systems.
For Hurricane Shutters, the emphasis is on maximum protection and resilience. These shutters are constructed from exceptionally strong materials like heavy-gauge aluminum or reinforced composite materials. The design focuses on creating a solid, impenetrable barrier against high winds, debris, and driving rain. Construction techniques for hurricane shutters involve robust framing, secure interlocking mechanisms, and tested performance to meet stringent building codes for storm preparedness. The materials are chosen for their superior impact resistance and ability to withstand extreme environmental forces.
