Timber Planation Shutters

Whether your style is classic or modern, Timber Shutters add that extra air of luxury and are a smart investment in virtually any home. Crafted from high quality renewable plantation timber, our Timber Shutters have outstanding insulation properties. They are available in a unique range of on-trend colours and stains and will easily compliment any interior colour palette. 

Our Timber Shutters are finished in either 3 coats of quality Nitrolacquer for stained finish, or 3 undercoats and 2 top coats of Polyurethane paint for painted finish.

What type of timber are our Timber Shutters made from? 

Our Timber Shutters are made from two renewal timber species: Basswood and Paulownia. Whilst both are quite similar in functional features, there are a few key differences that we will explore below.  

Basswood 

Tilia americana, commonly known as Basswood, is a member of the hardwood family. With a Janka Hardness of 410 lbf, Basswood is a sturdy material suited to high-traffic areas, all the while, its lightness makes it ideal for larger shutter panels, because it is less likely to put pressure on the supporting hinges. 

A favourite for cabinetry and the aviation industry due to its excellent weight to strength ratio, Basswood also has low thermal conductivity, helping to insulate your home through the warmer months.  

 Paulownia 

Paulownia tomentosa is comparable in strength and weight to Western Red Cedar. With a Janka Hardness of 300 lbf, it’s buoyancy makes it a marine industry favourite and a popular choice for surf boards and yachts. Like Basswood, it has low thermal conductivity, but with an added bonus of a high ignition temperature of 400-450°C, compared to other hardwoods, which sit at about 220-250°C.  

Timber Shutter Colours
Our Timber Shutters are available in the same colours as Inception PVC Shutters, plus a selection of warming timber stains and trendy paints. Alternately, we should be able to match our Timber Shutter colours to your existing colour palette.
