Board And Batten Shutters

Evoking cozy nights and rustic warmth, board and batten shutters add a classic look to your home. They're not only decorative. Our LAS shutters are available in operative and storm-rated classifications, too.

In New Orleans, many of our historic homes are outfitted with board and batten shutters. These beautiful cottage-style shutters evoke the past with their practical design and enduring elegance.

This style dates back as far as the Victorian era. "Board and batten" itself simply refers to the makeup of these shutters. The boards are the vertical planks, while the battens provide support horizontally. You can customize your look with two battens, a third center batten, or a "Z" bar for accent and style.

At LAS Shutters + Windows, we design and craft shutters that are made for the Gulf South. We craft our shutters from high-quality aluminum because we know wooden shutters quickly break down in our hot and humid climate. More durable, more attractive, and ready to protect your home. That's the LAS difference.

Unrivaled resistance to moisture and ultraviolet light, a must in our climate

Guaranteed to never rot, warp, or crack over time, unlike wooden shutters

Easily open and operate your shutters with multiple locking options

Improved insulation from summer heat, winter chills, and year-long noise

At LAS, we craft board and batten shutters that are made for your home. Since we manage every step of design and installation, we can make shutters for large and small windows alike. Need shutters for arched or irregularly shaped windows? We can help with those, too.

Customize shutters for your needs. You can choose from the following styles:

Decorative: These shutters are normally set in place to add style, depth, and warmth to your home. They add instant curb appeal at an affordable price.
Fully operational: Enjoy the look of shutters with the additional benefits of blocking light, wind, and noise. With our locking options, you can also protect your home from intruders.
Storm rated: Protect your home from Gulf South hurricanes. Our storm-rated hurricane shutters comply with (or exceed) wind and/or impact ratings for the Florida Building Code, SBCCI standards, and ASTM specifications.

Our shutters also have a powder coated finish, with multiple colors available. We go beyond black and brown, so you can embrace the lively colors of NOLA's historic homes. Find out more about our shutter colors here.

For over 60 years, the Gulf South community has trusted the LAS team to craft the highest-quality shutters and windows for their homes. Protecting your home and loved ones is the most important part of our job, and we never skimp on quality.

Our team is local. We live and work in the Gulf South. We're committed to designing products that work best for our climate, not a "good enough" model that could work across the U.S. From start to finish, our team is also in charge of every aspect of your next shutter project.

Julia,
On behalf of Lighthouse Louisiana (formerly The Lighthouse for the Blind), please convey my thanks once again to your coworkers for supporting our summer camp for children who are blind. It is a rare thing to see a corporate family like yours, where people get together and give from their own hard-earned paychecks to local groups that are doing good work in the community. As donors, sometimes it’s hard to know what donations to organizations we care about are actually being used for. We consider LAS an important investor in our work, and we cannot thank you enough for helping us serve our clients.

Thank you,
Erin McQuade Wright
Director of Development

We just finished getting new windows from LAS and I can’t be any happier. From start to finish, this job was done professionally. The salesman, Garrett, came to the house on time and explained the windows and the process and answered any questions that we had at the time. He indicated the person who would do the measurements would call and set up an appointment within two weeks and the the windows would be built and installed in about 5 weeks. Well, the job – from the initial estimate to complete install – was three weeks. The installed that completed the job did an excellent job of install, caulking and cleanup. We can’t give them a higher rating. The most amazing thing so far is the look and how much it has cut down on outside noise. I highly recommend LAS and since they are local, from repairs to employing people, we keep it right here at home. We are very satisfied customers.
