Polymer or PVC plantation shutters are a popular, cost-effective alternative to timber, specifically valued for their resilience in high-moisture environments. While "polymer" and "PVC" are often used interchangeably, our high-quality polymer shutters include a reinforced aluminium core to prevent the sagging that can occur with standard PVC.
- 100% Waterproof & Moisture Resistant: Unlike timber, these shutters will not warp, swell, or peel when exposed to steam or water splashes. They are the standard choice for bathrooms, laundries, and kitchens.
- Cost-Effective: Generally, more affordable than high-end timber options like Paulownia or Basswood, they provide the same premium look at a lower price point.
- High Durability & Stability: Our polymer shutters are engineered to withstand heat and UV exposure without cracking or yellowing. Units with an internal aluminium core are particularly strong, allowing for wider panels without losing their shape.
- Low Maintenance: They are exceptionally easy to clean; they can be wiped down with a damp cloth or even waxed to keep them looking new. They never require the re-staining or painting that natural wood does.
- Energy Efficiency: Polymer is a dense material that acts as an excellent insulator, helping to maintain indoor temperatures and potentially lowering energy bills.
- Safety Features: Our polymer shutters are fire-retardant and non-toxic, that have no off-gassing of VOCs.
Our Polymer plantation shutters are the practical workhorse of window treatments. They offer a high-end look with significantly more resilience than natural wood. Perfect for bathrooms, kitchens, and laundries, they won't swell or rot when exposed to steam or direct splashing. Our Polymer shutters are generally more cost-effective than premium hardwoods, with the added benefit that a they don't degrade in moist environments, they rarely need replacing adding long term value to your home.
