What's This?

Don't Let Arched Windows 
Throw You A Curve!

Heritance® Hardwood Shutters 
Are Now Available for
Perfect and Near-Perfect Arches

Custom Shutter Arches With No Template Required! 
Heritance hardwood shutters are now available for half-circle arches in custom sizes.  The fan-style shutter arches are available for stand arches or with rectangular shutters below the arch in a continuous opening.  These are fully custom arches.  These arches may be used for windows from 28" to 84" side that are perfect or near perfect.  A "perfect arch" would mean that the height of the window is exactly half of the width.  Heritance arches may be ordered for windows that are plus or minus one inch from being perfect, which by far accounts for the majority of half-circle arched windows.  You do not have to send a template in order to have Heritance Arches made. Instead, just use one of the three the convenient worksheets to take a few simple measurements and provide information about  the window you want to cover

Adjustable Rabbeted Louvers
The adjustable louvers are rabbeted, so they interlock for tight closure or they can be adjusted to let the amount of light you desire into the room. Heritance arches are designed to coordinate well with other Heritance hardwood shutters with any type of frame.  Like other Heritance shutters, the arches have the innovative patented Integra™ finish for a great look and lasting performance.  

Arches are available in all of the colors of the heritance product line.

Always Outside Mount
While Heritance shutter arches are always ordered as Outside Mount, they can be made to coordinate well with either inside or outside mounted shutter panels.  When ordered with a shutter below in widths over 36", the panels below will require either a T-Post or a hidden support.  The hidden support is only visible when the shutter panels are opened as shown below.
