Complete Privacy With a Sweeping View
O'Hair Horizons™ feature twin side-mounted tilt rods that provide an unobstructed view, yet offer total privacy.
The tilt rods are attached to the edges of the louvers and feature a channel that interlocks with the shutter frame, totally blocking all direct light. The metal reinforced continuous linkage tilt rods, as with the entire shutter, are warranted for the life of your home. (see warranty for details)
Ultra Strong Bookmatched Components
The grain pattern of wood is a source of its beauty, but it is also responsible for the tendency of wood to twist and warp over time. O'Hair shutters are made to last, and like a fine musical instrument that is passed down through the generations, the wood from which they are constructed must be highly stable.
O'Hair Customs ™ and dealer-customized O'Hair Shutters™ retain their shape for generations because they, like a century-old master-built guitar, are constructed from bookmatched wood. In this process, the wood blank is split into multiple sections that are rotated and then bonded together. The result is a mirrored grain pattern that is not only beautiful, but is structurally stable and arrow-straight.
When you purchase shutters for your home, you want your investment to last. With O'Hair Customs ™ and dealer -customized O'Hair Shutters™, we guarantee it.
Why is a true mortise and tenon joint superior? Many manufacturers hold their shutter panels together with just a few dowels at the corners and a bit of glue. This means that the actual surface contact area is minimal and the panel can easily break. The rails (horizontal frame members) of O'Hair shutters are milled with a protruding piece (or "tenon") that fits into a corresponding slot (or "mortise") in the stiles (vertical frame members). Depending on the shutter design, the tenons range in width from just under two inches to over 11" for the largest rails. That is huge! In addition, they are assembled with tenon screws that draw the tenon tight for an unassailable bond. With some competing panels, if you drop them on the corner, the entire panel can literally fall apart. O'Hair shutter panels are absolutely rock-solid and built for absolute reliability.

Precise Architectural Integration
O'Hair offers the widest range of mounting options available. Rather than simply covering up existing trim or shimming in a commodity frame and concealing the gaps, O'Hair shutters are precisely tailored for each opening so that they can be smoothly integrated into the existing architecture.

The Features of O'Hair Exteriors™
We have a new interactive animation up for O'Hair Exteriors™ - the most durable and attractive hardwood exterior shutters in the neighborhood. Visit the Exteriors™features page.
The GrainSelect™ Process The natural woodgrain varies from one louver to the next. Rather than assembling the louvers in a random fashion, the O'Hair GrainSelect™ process arranges the louvers in a gradient sequence, creating a smooth transition from bottom to top.

O'Hair Exteriors™ are the first and only thermally modified exterior hardwood shutter and are ultra-resistant to pests and extremes of temperature and humidity. To learn more, view a PDF of the brochure.
Exterior Folding Panels O'Hair Exteriors™ are available in a full range of configurations. In this example we see both standard rectangular panels below and arched Pattern Horizontals™ above, with paired panels at the left and right of the balcony and a bi-fold style for the balcony door. O'Hair Exteriors™ are constructed from thermally modified hardwood and are the most durable exterior wood shutter on the market.
Turn of the Century Charm O'Hair Exteriors™ add personality and warmth to a range of architectural styles, including colonial, spanish, mediterranean, ranch and more. This vintage 1890's style home was clearly missing something when it was completed. By adding our custom designed exterior shutters, the transformation was dramatic. O'Hair Exteriors™ are the only thermally modified exterior hardwood shutters available anywhere. They are extremely resistant to extremes of weather and humidity and their construction is truly superior. They are also more than a mere decoration. Using our Stabilouver™ tension system they can transition from fixed louvers to fully adjustable, and they can be locked at any angle.
Pattern Horizontals™ O'Hair Pattern Horizontals™ feature louvers that are fully synchronized from top to bottom, precisely following the shape of the window without stair-stepping. They are available with traditional center tilt rods or dual side-mount Horizon Tilt™designs.
A Beautiful Mediterranean Style Villa A beautiful Mediterranean style home with a trio of massive nine foot tall gates enclosing a patio with three floor-to-ceiling glass double doors and O'Hair Exteriors™ hardwood exterior shutters.

A Tropical View With Traditional Elegance Offering a full range of light control, this accordion configuration can be folded to provide an unobstructed vista. While available in louver profiles of up to 5", this thin-slat design provides the classic look of the southern coast, yet the thermally modified hardwood construction offers a level of strength and weather-resistance that can be found in no other hardwood shutter.
O'Hair Exteriors™ – the Ultimate Hardwood Exterior Shutter O'Hair Exteriors™ provide much more than beauty and style. They offer a level of durability and permanence that is unmatched by any other exterior wooden shutter you can buy. They are the only thermally modified exterior hardwood shutter on the market, designed and built with the ideal blend of computer-controlled precision and traditional joinery, and they are reinforced for extra strength. Our exterior shutters are made in America from genuine American hardwood that is harvested from private forests, following the practices of sustainable forestry. Every individual panel is custom designed to your specifications and custom painted to precisely match your existing trim, using a combination of spectrophotometer instrumentation and decades of color matching experience. At O'Hair, quality, precision, strength, durability and beauty are more than something to aspire to. They have been the gold standard on which the O'Hair family has built its reputation for 73 years.
A Well-Rounded View A panoramic view provides a wonderful feeling of freedom. When you are curled up in the comfort of your den with a good book and a nice cup of coffee, and you pause to take a sip and you find yourself surrounded by a beautiful yard and a lazy blue sky, that is a feeling that you will want to have every day. When you add to this the beauty, charm, privacy and light control of O'Hair Oceanview™ hardwood shutters, the only thing missing is a bit of soft music.

There is Nothing Like Real O'Hair Quality. If you want a reason why O'Hair is the superior shutter, we can give you Ten Reasons.
Clear Horizons Our Horizon™style features twin tilt rods that are mounted on the outside edges of the lovers. In addition to providing an unobstructed view, the tilt rods provide extra privacy and enhanced light control by blocking light leakage at the sides of the louver.
A Touch of the Exotic Add a touch of eclectic elegance with just the right shutter. Rather than having a home in which every room is largely the same as every other, when you give each room a distinct personality it adds a refreshing quality as you move about your environment. In this example a cool-toned monotone scheme is enhanced with the addition of ebony hued Townhouse™ accordion shutters. By adding just the right selection of understated decorative pieces, this turns a rather self-conscious room into an exotic statement with a distinctly European feel.
