BostonCrafted from solid Basswood,

Boston is a competitively priced

hardwood and a popular material

for shutters. Initially available in

limited styles and three white

shades with the introduction

of limited stain colour options

over time.

The Vancouver Made from Western Red

Cedar, Vancouver is available

in painted, lacquered or oiled

finishes. The “oiled” finish option provides the most natural

appearance of any shutter

available and is the natural

choice for barns and warehouse

conversions. The timber is so

durable and stable it could be

left outside untreated due to

its resin content.

The Portland Our Portland shutter range’s

smooth and consistent grain,

make it a very robust and high

quality hardwood. Strengthened

with an engineered core to

prevent any possibility of

warping, they are well suited to

areas where extra durability is

required either around the home

or for commercial premises.

The Phoenix Although a hardwood it is

also very light enabling us

to confidently use Phoenix for large (tier on tier) installations

where weight would definitely preclude the use of Seattle or

similar weight hardwood shutter

panels. The almost white timber

stains to match most timbers

accurately while the grain

reminiscent of oak, appears

rich and exuberant even

when painted.

The Seattle An engineered product

comprising of the best off-cut

timber, which is bound and

laminated with epoxy to form

a light, durable lumbar core

in a choice of three extremely

durable white finishes. Maintenance free and very

strong, with a wipe clean

surface, this range is popular

for its budget price but

premium looks.

Bathroom Shutter ProductIdeal for harsh environments

such as wet rooms, or showers,

anywhere really that needs a

tough but good looking window

treatment that will last. The new

closed-cell composite shutter

technology ensures superior

strength, stiffness and wont

warp, dent or chip.

Solid ShuttersUsed extensively over the last couple of

centuries in the UK, solid shutters offer

better control over light filtration.

Solid shutters are fitted in the same way

as louvre shutters and are used a lot for

folding/concertina tracked partitions

and they make very good quality, light

folding doors.

ColoursChoose from our extensive colour palette

including paints, stains or a customised

colour matching service to match your

room décor.

ConservatoryConservatory shutters, apart from

looking great, offer a great deal of

flexibility simply not possible with most

other shading options. Unlike fabric

based shading systems, shutters are

easy to clean and will not rot, sag or

age over time.

Plantation Shutters can be used on the

sides as well, for long sections they can

be mounted on tracking to slide away

when not in use.

Shutters are also used for partitioning

and as multi fold internal doors. Quite

often the opening to the conservatory

may have shutters suspended on a top

track. The solid base and louvre top

shutters are used extensively for

these applications.

Styles & ShapesInterior shutters offer a stylish

alternative to other window

dressings, offering a range of

options including full height, tier

on tier or café.

No More Stretching! The days of

balancing on chairs and tip-toeing to

those hard to reach openings are gone,

sit back and relax all day long and as

the light changes simply open and close

your shutters using your handy remote

control. Not only beneficial to

conservatory owners, they can

also be incorporated into special

shaped shutters, such as triangular

apex windows.

Light Fantastic

These shutters offer 8 tilt positions

allowing the perfect amount of light into

your room. Each shutter panel can be

controlled individually, as apart of a

group or for total natural daylight, the

whole installation can be moved together,

making quite an impressive display!

Shhhhhhhhhhhhh!

With a virtually silent and smooth

operation no one will be disturbed

whatever time day or night. Perfect Tilt

works as a single louvre driven by a 9

volt battery powered motor via a light

receptor on the frontside of the panel,

the other louvres are driven by the tilt

rod. Each motor operates up to a

maximum louvre height of 1800mm.

Motorised Interior Plantation ShuttersFitting

The safest way to fit shutters is to let

us fit them, however you can fit them

yourself with reasonable DIY skills,

assuming you have understood all

the design and fitting options and then

measured correctly. There are many ways

to fit shutters and there is no one way

that is better than another. You may fit

them inside the reveal, the most common

way, or on the edge of the reveal or

outside the reveal, all are permissible

methods. The room will generally dictate

the fitting location. Frames are used

extensively for fitting but may not be

suitable for severely out of square

openings, (most openings in older

houses are not perfectly square).

Shutters are made square unless

specially shaped and will not hide

a subsided bay window or tilted

window sill entirely. Our hinges are

made especially for our shutters and

our screws are made specifically for our

hinges with matching screw heads. Either

match or contrast hinges to shutters,

sometimes odd combinations work very

well, bisque hinges with silk white panels

for instance. For wet environments it is

recommended that our marine grade

stainless steel hinges are used.
