Reclaimed Shutters: Salvaged Materials Given New Life

Reclaimed shutters breathe new life into salvaged wood, metal and other materials by incorporating them into new shutter designs. Using reclaimed materials minimizes waste and reduces demand for virgin resources.

Reclaimed Barn Wood Shutters

Wood reclaimed from old barns, grain silos, stables and other agricultural buildings retains rustic character from weathering and natural imperfections. Barn wood adds a charming distressed texture.

Antique Reclaimed Shutters

Architectural antique dealers acquire vintage shutters salvaged from historical demolitions and remodels. Antique shutters dating back decades or centuries add one-of-a-kind heritage.

Salvaged Wine Barrel Shutters

REBELWall uses staves repurposed from spent wine barrels to construct unique wine-infused shutters. The eco-friendly upcycling process reveals evocative wine stains and patina.

Remilled Reclaimed Wood

Deconstruction crews carefully remove and clean lumber from old homes and buildings scheduled for demolition. Remilled into new boards, the wood gains another lifetime.

Scrap Wood Composite Shutters

Responsible manufacturers recycle scrap left over from their own shutter production back into useful product. Scrap gets ground and blended into composite shutter boards.

Recycled Plastic Shutters

Some companies recycle used plastic bags and polyethylene stretch film to produce durable, weather-resistant composite shutters and shutter components. Keeping plastics out of landfills is a plus.

Reusable Iron Shutters

Paris’ storied iron balconette shutters get removed and restored rather than replaced during building renovations. This preserves heritage while reusing valuable materials.

Refurbished Used Shutters

Lightly worn used shutters removed during remodeling projects retain usefulness with proper refurbishment. A fresh coat of paint or varnish and new hardware revives old shutters for added life.

Construct New Frames

Use original reclaimed louver slats, panels or frames when salvageable. Construct new shutter siding, frames and mounting hardware using sustainable, durable materials to match the old.

Reclaimed Lumber Deconstruction

Train crews in proper deconstruction techniques to remove, salvage and reuse building materials selectively when demolishing old structures. This maximizes shutter wood reclaiming.

Locally Sourced Materials

Choose reclaimed shutters sourced locally to avoid carbon emissions from long transport. Local sourcing supports community reuse initiatives.

Shutter companies creatively transforming used, discarded and vintage materials into upcycled works of functional art demonstrate environmental stewardship. The eco-value of reuse cannot be overstated.
