Why Choose Wooden Shutter Blinds?
Insulation and Noise Reduction
Wood is a fantastic natural insulator — for both heat and sound. When the shutter doors and louvres are closed tightly, they reduce external noise and help regulate indoor temperature. Wooden Shutters help keep rooms cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
Light Control and Privacy
Slatted Shutters offer excellent light management. Tilt the louvres to adjust daylight while maintaining privacy, or close them fully for a darker room.
Decor and Finish Options
Wooden Shutters are available in a wide variety of painted and stained finishes — including custom colour matching — to suit every style of décor.
Types of Wood Used in Our Wooden Window Shutters
Paulownia
Paulownia is one of the fastest-growing tree groups on the planet. Trees reach maturity in under 10 years and regenerate from their existing root system — earning the nickname “Phoenix Wood.”
Its fine grain gives a smooth finish when painted or stained, and it’s both strong and lightweight — ideal for Shutters.
Basswood
Basswood is another lightweight timber, commonly used for Wooden Venetian Blinds. It matures quickly and is highly durable. Our Basswood Shutters are made from finger-jointed sections, making them strong and stable. They’re available in a range of painted finishes.
Ash Wood
Ash is the premium choice for Wooden Plantation Shutters. Its deeper, natural grain creates a beautiful finish when painted or stained. Ash grows more slowly than the others, resulting in a denser and more durable wood. Our Ash Shutters come with a dedicated colour swatch to highlight their unique finish.
Build Quality
All of our wooden shutters are manufactured using mortice and tenon joints for long-term stability. Each shutter panel is reinforced along the edges to help prevent warping. Styles available include:
• Full Height shutters
• Tier on Tier shutters
• Café Style shutters
• Tracked Shutters systems
Every set of shutters is made to measure and fitted by our own expert team — not subcontractors — and comes with a 10-year guarantee.

Which wood is best for shutters — Paulownia, Basswood, or Ash?
Each has its strengths. Paulownia is lightweight and smooth, ideal for painted or stained finishes. Basswood is strong and stable, used in finger-jointed painted shutters. Ash has a beautiful grain and is the most premium option, perfect for a stained luxury finish.
