Paulownia+
Durable hardwood shutters
Take a look at our exclusive durable hardwood Paulownia+. Made from genuine Paulownia hardwood with the addition of a tough Polymer protective outer shell. This creates a premium product that remains lightweight, resists dents and scuffs and is incredibly tough.
This material has quickly become a customer favourite, and can be used for a variety of windows and rooms due to its hard-wearing finish.
The finishing touch: This wood can be finished with any of
our distinctive palette of 18 colours,
giving you a unique shutter to
harmonise and enhance any interior.
Poly PVC
Waterproof shutters.
These innovative shutters combine the timeless elegance of
traditional plantation shutters with the modern durability of
uPVC materials (Poly Vinyl Shutters).
As a result, these shutters are not only scratch-resistant, but
they also have aluminium-reinforced louvres to maintain their
longevity, making them an excellent cost-effective investment.
Available in a range of colours, suitable for many interiors
