What Are Natural Hardwood (Paulownia) Shutters
Our natural hardwood shutters are crafted with paulownia, a high quality, durable hardwood. It’s relatively lightweight, but tough. It comes from a fast-growing tree which makes the grain of the wood very linear and straight.
Owing to its fast-growing nature, replacement trees grow in a short space of time – meaning these shutters are more sustainable than most.
Our natural hardwood shutters have a smooth grain, too. By that we mean it doesn’t have a deep ridged grain that you may find on woods like oak, ash or elm. When painted it can be difficult to see the depth of grain through the paint. For this reason, customers wanting a more ‘wood grained’ effect tend to select a finish like limewash.

FAQs About Hardwood Shutters
We prefer wooden shutters as they are much easier to tweak or adjust when you come to install them. MDF shutters are supplied with a special paint applied. If you need to make a slight alteration it’s very difficult to do so as you cannot plane or sand an MDF shutter. You can, however, do this with a hardwood shutter.
If you have any questions about which wooden shutters would be best for your home, why not order a sample from us? We can send up to three samples of your choosing to help you select the grain and colour that best matches your style and taste.
Are wooden window shutters easy to maintain?
When compared with alternative window dressings such as blinds or curtains, wooden shutters are much easier to maintain. Simply wipe away stains or marks using a damp cloth - and dusting is a breeze too!
These shutters will stand the test of time and you will be able to keep them looking their stylish best for years to come.
How much do these shutters cost?
The cost of window shutters is cheaper than you might think. Especially when you opt for DIY shutters that could yield savings of 40% on installation fees.
Ultimately, the full cost of our hardwood shutters will depend on a few factors. These include the number of shutters you want to install and the type you opt for (full height, café style and tier on tier styles etc).
Our faux wood shutters, for example, start from £204pm2 – so this should give you a general starting point for costing up your shutters.
What are the benefits of hardwood shutters?
The benefits of hardwood plantation shutters are numerous. As we’ve touched on, they are highly durable and long-lasting.
These shutters provide the same light and privacy control too. If insulation is important to you, hardwood shutters in any style form an extra barrier between your windows and the outside world, trapping in the heat for longer.
