There's a reason wooden shutters have dressed windows for centuries—they simply work. In Victoria, where heritage homes sit alongside contemporary builds and the coastal light shifts dramatically with the seasons, plantation shutters and traditional wooden shutters offer a level of control and durability that few other window treatments can match.
SRIZ has installed wooden shutters throughout Greater Victoria, from waterfront properties in Cadboro Bay to craftsman bungalows in Fairfield. We work with homeowners who want lasting quality and classic aesthetics that won't look dated in ten years.
Light Control That Actually Works
Wooden shutters give you precise control over natural light in a way that blinds and shades simply cannot replicate. Tilt the louvers to direct morning sun toward the ceiling, eliminating glare on screens while keeping rooms bright. Close them partially to maintain privacy from street traffic while preserving your sightlines to the garden.
The adjustable louvers handle Victoria's lighting challenges throughout the year. In December, when the sun hangs low over the Olympic Mountains, you can angle louvers to capture warmth without sacrificing privacy. During June's long evenings, close them against the western sun that heats up living rooms facing the Strait.
Unlike fabric window treatments, shutters create a genuine barrier. Closed shutters block more light and provide better insulation than most alternatives—a meaningful benefit during the heating season.
