hutters are an ancient window treatment style even older than Riopelle Drapery itself. In fact some of the first documented window treatments found in ancient Greece were simple stone slabs, mounted on a pivot. The first shutters! You will find many of the windows in old European centres like Tuscany and Venice decorated with shutters. Valued for centuries, today plantation style shutters make up one of the fastest growing sectors of the window treatment industry.

Our customers value shutters because of their ease of use, architectural beauty, insulating properties and durability. In fact Shutters are one of the few Decorative treatments which are proven to have a positive effect on the re-sale value of a home. Their lasting value is such that The Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation recognize window shutters as a permanent fixture that can be included in the purchase price of a new home. Ask your builder to contact us and we’ll be glad to show them how.
