Shutter Material Options

Classic timber shutters have been around for centuries and continue to be a popular choice. They can add beauty and elegance. Traditional woods used are basswood and polar due to their durability and stylistic appeal. Wooden shutters can be shaped, painted and stained in many different ways.

The downside is that they are susceptible to prolonged exposure to moisture and weather and over time may warp or fade, making them unsuitable for kitchens and bathrooms. 

Aluminium shutters are suitable for both old and new style homes, long-term durability and very little maintenance are positives.

They are extremely lightweight and can be installed both inside and outside of the home. The strength of the shutters doesn’t deteriorate over time as it can with wood, 

However, aluminium offers little insulation, unlike Polymer. The material may also rust and corrosion over time, if preventative measures are not taken.

Polymer/PVC Shutters are hard wearing and a popular choice. PVC is water resistant meaning it is perfect shutter material in any part of the home.

PVC is also aesthetically pleasing for various home styles. They provide a luxurious finish to any design and optimum insulation in both Winter and Summer. An energy efficient bonus!
