FAQs
Do Aluminium shutters rust?
Aluminium shutters are resistant to rust and corrosion, even in coastal areas with high humidity or saltwater exposure.
Can I use shutters in bathrooms and kitchens?
PVC shutters are the best option for bathrooms and kitchens because they are moisture-resistant and won’t warp, making them ideal for high-humidity areas.
Paulownia shutters are better suited for dry areas like living rooms or bedrooms, as they are more sensitive to moisture and may warp in humid environments.
Aluminium shutters can be used in both bathrooms and kitchens. They are resistant to moisture and corrosion, making them suitable for areas exposed to humidity.
How weather-resistant are the different types of shutters?
PVC shutters are designed to withstand moisture but may not be suitable for extreme weather conditions outdoors.
Paulownia shutters are not designed for outdoor use, as they can be affected by moisture and may warp in harsh weather conditions.
Aluminium shutters are highly weather-resistant and can be used both indoors and outdoors. They are especially effective in coastal or harsh weather environments due to their resistance to corrosion.
Can shutters be used on non-standard window shapes?
Yes! Shutters can be custom-made for a variety of non-standard window shapes, such as round, triangular, and arched windows, ensuring a perfect fit for even the trickiest designs.
Can shutters be bi-fold?
Yes, all three materials—PVC, Paulownia, and Aluminium—can be made into bi-fold shutters, offering flexibility and ease of use for large windows or doors, allowing them to fold neatly when opened.
