Double-hung shutters are a two-tier plantation shutter configuration designed to complement double-hung windows. Where a standard shutter covers a window as a single unit, double-hung shutters feature two independently operating panels stacked vertically. The upper and lower sections each open and tilt on their own, mirroring the way a double-hung window itself functions.
At San Francisco Shutters, our double-hinged plantation shutters are custom-fabricated from premium basswood to fit your exact window dimensions. The two-tier design gives you a level of light and privacy control that a single panel simply cannot match. Open the top section to bring in natural light and fresh air while keeping the bottom closed for privacy at street level. Tilt the lower louvers for ventilation without giving up your view from above. The combination is practical, intuitive, and genuinely useful day-to-day.
Beyond function, double-hung window shutters add a clean architectural quality to any room. The horizontal division between the two panels aligns naturally with the sash meeting rail of your window, giving the installation a polished, built-in appearance. Choose from our full range of plantation elliptical louver sizes, frame styles, and paint or stain finishes to match your interior perfectly.
Whether you are fitting one room or an entire home across San Francisco, the Peninsula, or the greater Bay Area, our team will measure, build, and install your double-hung shutters to an exact, lasting fit. Contact us or visit our South San Francisco showroom to get started.
