Understanding the different options

Antigua - MDF shutters
Antigua shutters are our highly desirable entry level range of shutters; made from MDF and covered in an extruded polypropylene coating to provide a high quality finish and excellent value for money. This range is extremely durable and therefore ideal if the shutters are open and closed a lot. Square and rectangle windows are our most popular window shapes because of its limited ability for more custom shape windows.

Bermuda - ABS Shutters
The Bermuda shutter range is our second product category up from entry level. The Bermuda shutters are very durable, hardwearing and are lighter in weight, making them suitable for large windows. The product is a combination of painted MDF and ABS plastic louvres, which allows a wider range of colours at a cost effective price.We can provide most styles of shutters in the Bermuda range.

Cuba - Basswood Shutters
Cuba Shutters, our entry-level hardwood shutter manufactured from a mix of sustainable hardwoods with a medium density fibreboard (MDF) frame.

Solid Panel Shutters
