Beech River Mill specializes in historic reproductions of shutters. During the 1800's and into the 1900's, millwork shops produced styles that became unique to the region where the mills were located. Louvers, moldings, and panels were fashioned in a variety of shapes and sizes. Thickness and widths of stiles and rails also were varied to establish such regional differences. Our job-specific woodworking equipment allows us to continue to produce any louvered or paneled product you need. Window boxes, shutters for room dividers and other furniture applications are available.

Today we use mainly Spanish cedar for exterior shutters. This species is naturally termite and rot resistant. According to the Nature Conservancy, this species is reported as being widespread, abundant and secure globally. Our product source is derived from environmentally responsible resources. Please see Exterior Shutter Product List.

Beech River Mill will create interior products from any desired wood species that you request. You may be matching existing interior furniture and desire specific wood or may wish to create a whole new look. Please see Doors and Interior Shutters.

Beech River Mill can create the louver size that you desire. The standard slat size is 1/4" x 1-3/4". We often use 1/4" x 2-1/2" and 1/4" x 2-3/4". The custom shutter CS-300 includes a slat at 3/8" x 2-1/4". We can also make larger slat sizes at 3" and 4" to create a more contemporary look.

Beech River Mill will have your product painted to any specific color of choice. This includes two primed coats, then a complete sanding, and two finishing coats. A paint sample or choice of color will need to be provided.
