Since we try to provide you with decorative solutions as much as possible before anything else, we would like to talk about the more popular types of shutters used in southern countries in this writing.

However, it is generally preferred to move it from the lower part because the basement floors are more likely to get worn out when you open and close the windows that are nearby.
Our design suggestion is the use of wood materials to have a decorative appearance.

Patience and ability are very important in such a handmade work.
In our work, we decide to use the wheel rail system because we had difficulties to find a flat ground, but you can also consider a hinged solution. Although the hinges can be moved 180 degrees with, it is more advantageous to choose the rail system in terms of durability. In addition, a shutter that opens and closes with the rail system is more beneficial for small basements. Because the opening and closing angles will be parallel to the wall, it will be able to be used easily.
During the preparation phase it is important that the materials are ready to be renovated. If you do not have such a possibility, you can go to a workshop and apply the necessary cutting and painting procedures once you have the measurements you need.
