Hardwood Shutters

Made-to-measure Hardwood shutters are real wood shutters for living rooms, bedrooms, studies and other dry rooms.

Their lighter panel weight can suit larger windows, while Hardwood is also the only material available for solid panels and custom-colour specifications.

Product Overview

Hardwood

Choose Hardwood when real timber construction, lower panel weight, a custom colour or solid panels matter. Its protective coating gives a smooth finish, but the material is not waterproof.

Product Overview

When are Hardwood shutters the right choice?

Hardwood is real timber beneath a smooth protective coating. Choose it for lighter panels, custom colours and solid-panel shutters in dry rooms. Choose Polycomposite where waterproofing or stronger thermal and noise insulation matters.

Real timber with a protective finish

Hardwood shutters are made from real timber beneath a smooth protective coating. The coating covers the natural grain but does not make the material waterproof.

Lighter panels for larger openings

Hardwood has a lower panel weight than Polycomposite. That can help when the measured design needs larger panels in a living room, bedroom, study or conservatory. Closed Hardwood shutters still add insulation at the window.

White or a custom-colour finish

The protective coating gives Hardwood a smooth painted surface. White remains our main recommendation, while custom colour matching is available only on Hardwood and is confirmed in the specification.

Louvred and solid-panel styles

Hardwood is available in full height, tier on tier, cafe, bifold and tracked louvred styles. It is also the only material available for solid panel shutters. Shaped work is confirmed from the measured opening.

For dry rooms

Use Hardwood in living rooms, bedrooms, studies, dining rooms and conservatories. Its coating is protective but not waterproof, so bathrooms and spaces with regular steam, splashes or condensation need Polycomposite.

Price, lead time and guarantee

Hardwood has a 5-year manufacturer guarantee. British-made Express costs £380/sqm with a 2-3 week lead time. Plan & Save costs £260/sqm with an 8-9 week lead time. Both include VAT, the home survey, supply and fitting.
