Are you confused about all the different materials and types of wooden plantation shutters available for fitted or self assembly DIY?

It's simple...

You don't need to worry, on my website I have selected the best suited materials for you.  My two most popular products are the Standard and Elite which are made of MDF and Hardwood, although I can also supply Basswood and Cedar..

In America and the UK, 75% of plantation shutter sales are MDF. This is why our ‘Standard’ shutter (MDF) forms our best selling product online. It's cheap yet looks great and can be fitted anywhere. You will find it hard to tell the difference.

In the past, plantation shutters have been made from Hemlock, Cedar and Poplar (Tulip wood). The best plantation shutters are made from wood and MDF.  Elite, which are wooden give you a choice of both stained and painted shutters. Basswood plantation shutters are very attractive as they boast a lovely grain structure which some other materials lack.  Cedar shutters are very light weight and are available in a beautiful oiled finish, so for larger plantation shutters where the weight of the shutter may be an issue this is an ideal solution.

Specialist materials

I also now offer an ABS plantation shutter, which is has a wooden core and is then coated in ABS plastic.  They are very hardwearing plastic shutters and are ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, utility rooms, playrooms, hotels or sea-front properties, or anywhere that they may be in frequent use or need to be easily cleaned.

I can also supply cedar plantation shutters, although not widely advertised on my website they are still an option when you come to order.  Or why not give me a call or send me a message if you can’t find the wood or stained shutter that you were looking for?

My advice and checklist for ordering is as follows:

Q.Do your shutters have frames?
A.Yes

Q.Are the shutters durable and hardwearing?
A. Yes, Both Elite and Standard are hardwearing and will not dent easily, with the new plastic/ABS shutter providing an even more durable option.
