The Difference Between Hardwood and Softwood

Understanding the distinction between hardwood and softwood helps you make a more informed decision when choosing shutter materials for your home.

At Shenandoah Shutters, we have been crafting custom hardwood plantation shutters in our Richmond, VA workshop since 1990. Every shutter is measured for your home, built locally, and installed by our team — so you get a product that fits your windows and your life.

Have questions about this topic or want to see how our shutters would look in your home? Our team is happy to help. Book a free in-home consultation and we will bring samples, measure every window, and walk you through your options at no cost.
