Wooden Shutters

Best for: Living rooms, bedrooms, and spaces where aesthetics are a priority.

Wooden shutters, such as those in our Worcester and Ashwood ranges, are a favourite for homeowners seeking a classic, elegant look. Made from high-quality wood, these shutters are not only beautiful but also durable. The natural wood grain offers warmth and character, making them ideal for traditional or rustic interiors, while the smooth finish can complement modern settings. Wooden shutters are available in a variety of finishes and colours, allowing for customisation to match your décor.

Advantages of Wooden Shutters

• Timeless Appeal: Real wood adds a touch of luxury to any room.
• Customisable: Easily painted or stained to match your interior.
• Durable: With proper care, wooden shutters can last for many years.

PVC Shutters

Best for: Bathrooms, kitchens, and areas with high moisture levels.

Our Vienna range of PVC shutters is ideal for areas that experience higher levels of humidity, such as bathrooms and kitchens. PVC shutters are waterproof, making them a practical choice for spaces where wooden shutters may not be suitable. Despite being more budget-friendly, these shutters do not compromise on style and can mimic the look of wood while offering excellent durability.

Advantages of PVC Shutters

• Waterproof: Perfect for moisture-prone areas.
• Cost-effective: Generally less expensive than wood, without sacrificing style.
• Easy to Maintain: Requires minimal upkeep and does not warp.
