How do Kestrel Shutters compare in quality with other shutters?
This is something that is best discovered for yourself by holding in your hands a Kestrel Shutter. All of our shutters feature true deep pocket, mortise & tenon joints. You will never see a dowel joint in a Kestrel Shutter. A very important feature in our louver shutters is how we attach each louver blade to the tilt bar. Where every other company that we know of uses staples (which eventually loosen and fall out) we use solid brass threaded screw eyes. These are actually turned into pre-drilled holes to insure that your louver blades never come loose. We also go the extra step of balancing the louver blades so that they remain in whatever position you place them; no mechanical tension screws that require you to tighten them periodically. However, the best way for you to see and feel the difference in a Kestrel Shutter we strongly suggest that you compare physical samples from every manufacture you are considering.
