Why Use Basswood For Shutters?

If you’re like most people, knowing the details of every type of wood is not something you hold space for. So, you might be wondering, what is Basswood and why is that the only wood product we sell? 

First, Let’s Start With What is Basswood?

Basswood is native to the Eastern region of North America. Its natural color is pale, making it beautiful in its natural state, but also easy to stain or paint. Other hardwoods are often hard or nearly impossible to stain or paint, due to their non-porous finish. 

Basswood’s natural grain has an even texture while visually remaining smooth. This enables you to decide whether you want a smooth or wire-brushed finish. Allowing you to truly control the finished look of your upgraded space.

Outside of being used for window solutions, basswood is often used for musical instruments. Meaning if you have ever owned a guitar, there’s a strong chance you have already encountered basswood. 

The basswood we use for shutters or blinds is kiln-dried, making it extremely durable, lightweight, and gorgeous.
