From the website:
Our Premium Wood Shutters are the highest quality you'll find, and are hand crafted in the USA from the highest grade American hardwoods. These durable, lightweight hardwoods are sustainably harvested, kiln-dried to prevent warping or cracking, then hand-sanded to velvet smoothness. The water-based paints and stains used to finish your shutters are non-toxic, environmentally safe, and last longer than those used by many competitors.
I've always liked the look of wood shutters. I think they would look great and very dramatic on very large windows.

Durable ink jet images printed on see-through or opaque shades for logos, artwork or photos. Great for advertising graphics, signs and banners, architectural graphics, exhibits, retail store fronts, showrooms, restaurants, conference centers, and imaged room dividers.
These would be more appropriate for commercial use but I think the concept of printed images on window shades is brilliant.
