Shutters no longer work and operate the way they were originally designed. Historically, shutters performed an important role in protection and safety as well as air condition and heat management. Today, shutters have become like faux stickers people put on their home for decoration. Brent discusses shutters historical sizing and purpose along with best ways to install shutters today. Using strap hinges and historic pintails, Brent hangs shutters on his home, replacing ill-sized shutters that didn’t work.
This would be nice to explain how to measure the pintle and strap, not just to show us what they are.
I like your explanation of the historical function, and how to apply it practically today.
Another great video. Thanks for the continuing education that you are making available.
Should have explained how you determined the location of the hinge on the existing window
I wish you had a product line that we could order stuff like this from you and install them for average homeowners
Have PVC “shutters” on my house. As soon as the wife isn’t looking, they’re history 👋🏾
Shutterdogs keep them open. How would you keep them closed?
Would love to see what the house looks like with the closed shutters.
Hook and eye latch them together
Other than "historic authenticity," what's the point of installing shutters if you have no intention to use them as they were designed? Why not just remove the old ones and leave the brick bare?
Because it looks nice. It's the "jewelry" for the home.
