Exclusive profile
The Softedge™ sculptured edge is a Shenandoah design created to soften the transition from shutter to molding.
Patented Shenandoah design
Softedge™ is Shenandoah’s patented shutter design for homeowners who want a softer, more integrated profile without a boxy frame appearance.
Softedge™ shutters are exclusive to Shenandoah Shutters and use a sculptured edge profile that visually softens the shutter where it meets the window molding. When closed, the design creates a cleaner face with a more built-in feel.
The patented double rollover edge, concealed-hinge look, and absence of a boxy hanging strip make Softedge™ especially useful where the shutter should feel like part of the architecture instead of a separate treatment added after the fact.
The Softedge™ sculptured edge is a Shenandoah design created to soften the transition from shutter to molding.
A concealed-hinge look and cleaner edge help the shutter feel built into the window rather than hung over it.
The profile still depends on careful measuring so the finished result works with the actual casing and opening depth.

Shenandoah Shutters handcrafts softedge™ plantation shutters in Richmond, VA for homeowners across Virginia, Maryland, and Washington D.C. Since 1990, our Richmond workshop has measured, cut, hand-sanded, and lacquer-finished custom hardwood shutters for a precise fit in local homes.
Your consultation turns product preferences into practical fit decisions: louver clearance, frame depth, trim relationship, operation, finish, and how the room should feel when the shutters are open or closed.
The sculptured edge creates a softer transition and avoids the heavy look of standard box-style framing.
When closed, the shutter face appears cleaner and more continuous across the window.
Softedge™ can still be planned with room-appropriate louver sizes, finishes, and panel configurations.
Best results come from a consultation that reviews trim depth, casing shape, and desired reveal.
