Waterproof Polycomposite Shutters

Faux wood window shutters use a wood-plastic polymer rather than real timber. In our range, faux wood shutters are called Polycomposite shutters. They have a smooth protective coating and metal insertions inside the louvres and frame.

Yes. Metal insertions inside the Polycomposite louvres and frame provide much better thermal and noise insulation than Hardwood. The thermal shutters guide explains how shutters and retrofitted blackout honeycomb blinds can work together.

Polycomposite is available in full height, tier on tier, cafe, bifold and tracked louvred styles. Solid panel shutters are Hardwood only. Shaped Polycomposite work is confirmed from the measured opening.

Plan & Save Polycomposite shutters cost £260 per square metre with an 8-9 week lead time. British-made Express Polycomposite costs £315 per square metre with a 2-3 week lead time. Both prices include VAT, the home survey, supply and fitting. The pricing guide explains how the measured area and shutter style affect the estimate.

Polycomposite shutters have a 10-year manufacturer guarantee against defects. The written warranty and aftercare terms supplied with the order confirm the detailed cover and conditions.
