Costa Mesa Shutters is our Job of the Week, and below we are presenting an educational video we like to use to show off our installs, but also to point out a few design choices. This week we are showing you how you can use three panels to cover an eight foot wide window using T-Posts. It looks a lot better than a four panel. Also look at how you can use shutters for those difficult Skylight windows. Great ability now to control the light and heat in the room.
This education on shutters is a great place to start learning more about shutters. Shutters can be a bit confusing. At Villa, we can make choosing the right shutters for you easy. Today we want to offer a few interesting Videos on Shutters. I am sure after watching these you will have a good understanding of the many shutter options that are available. If you have a Villa Designer come to your house for a free estimate of your project, he will also walk you through our Shutter Design Process. Please enjoy these educational shutter Videos.
Villa Designers have years of experience to draw from. We’ve made the mistakes, and now know what to look out for.

Getting a Great Shutter Installation
This is a recent Tustin Shutter Installation Video, featuring the Onyx Wood Shutters. Onyx has wood plantation shutters for every specialty window design, from arched, Eyebrow (see above picture) and Angled tops (see below pictures), as well as shutters for patio doors, room dividers and closets.
Shutter Installation
Getting a perfect measurement and proper design is a must before any shutter installation can be successful. At Villa, we have been certified by Hunter Douglas as Master Installers. That Certification requires extensive training in Hunter Colorado headquarters. Choosing the right frame is not always easy, we do not let the customers demand a frame that will not work because we are ultimately responsible.
Onyx Shutters are well built, with these many features:
Product Features
A tension adjustment screw in every shutter panel ensures that, whether the shutter is brand new or decades old, it will never become too tight or too loose to operate properly. By the slight turn of a screw inside the stile, the louver tension is either increased and decreased.
Stainless steel staples are resistant to both corrosion and temperature changes. One of the most tiresome experiences of a shutter owner is staple failure. We use extra-long stainless steel staples in the louvers and tilt-rod to ensure that they do not pull out.
Hidden, recessed magnets allow our shutter panels to close tightly while also providing a clean and streamlined appearance.
Mortise and tenon joints are designed for maximum strength, to withstand shear and racking stress and to ensure safety and reliability. Typical shutters, like those sold at big-box home improvement retailers, are joined together by glued dowels or screw joints which eventually work themselves loose and/or fall apart. Our shutters are built differently, using special joinery for superior strength and simplicity.
Mortised hinges are important to achieve a tight fit within your window opening. Without a mortised panel, a gap appears on the hanging side that allows light to break between the panel and selected frame. Our hinges have at least 5 knuckle joints for better load distribution and smoother, quieter action. Pivot hinges have firmly riveted joint pins. We select materials that are sufficiently heavy to prevent sagging and are resistant to moisture.
Multi-layer, hand-sanded polyurethane finish with high-quality stain or paint provides hardness, strength, UV-resistance, water-resistance and color retention.

Not only do our shutters and venetians transform your surroundings with the beauty, elegance and richness of genuine wood, but they combine the qualities of energy savings and environmental responsibility.
