Natural light and insulating
Wooden shutters: stylish and functional
Windows have a special function. It provides natural light, visibility and ventilation. Our hardwood shutters give your window a beautiful look while maintaining these features. By operating the slats of the wooden shutters, you can easily control the incidence of light and the view.
In addition to these properties, these shutters also have an insulating effect. This is due to the so-called ‘double closure’ functionality. This mechanism ensures that an extra layer of insulation is created, making your home extra insulated in both winter and summer.
In addition, the wooden shutters also contribute to good acoustics in the room.
Wooden plantation shutters
Design meets function
How your timber window shutters look is of course very important, but not more important than how they function and operate. Because shutters are fixed to the house it is important to make sure you still have full functionality of your window and control of the blades to regulate the airflow and light in your home. Wooden plantation shutters can be installed with several different systems depending on the function and type of window.
- Hinged: opens just like a door or traditional window would
- Sliding: one panel slides in front of the other
- Bifold: two panels connected by hinges which folds open
- Fixed: a panel which does not open
- For operating the blades we either have a centre or offset tilt rod, Clearview which is a connector which subtly connects the blades, or our Supatilt which is an invisible internal mechanism.
