Plantation shutters epitomize both elegance and practicality in home design, becoming a lasting investment. Yet, not all shutters share the same quality. Opting for premium, custom-made designs with superior materials like solid Paulownia timber ensures longevity and resilience. Country's commitment to using genuine solid Paulownia sets their shutters apart, guaranteeing strength without warping or buckling, even in expansive spans. Their 'Pinnacle' shutters, finished with resilient 2-pack polyurethane paint, offer durability and aesthetic flexibility, while the 'Drift' range mirrors beach driftwood's texture, adding a unique charm. These shutters' precise fit not only exudes sophistication but also provides effective insulation, promising energy savings. Plus, sourced from sustainable plantations, Country's shutters embrace eco-consciousness. Collaborating with Country's seasoned Design Consultants ensures a timeless, value-adding investment tailored to your home's essence and lifestyle.
Plantation shutters are an investment in home décor. Their timeless beauty combines with practical functionality to deliver enduring benefits. But all plantation shutters were not created equal. To gain all the benefits of beautiful plantation shutters that will retain their beauty for many years to come, it pays to invest in premium quality, custom made designs created using the very finest materials. What few people realise is that the timber used has a lot to do with how plantation shutters look and perform.
The timber used in the slats of Country’s plantation shutters is solid, sustainably grown Paulownia (Pol-on-ia) hardwood. Paulownia is strong, stable and perfect for the Australian climate. It’s also worth pausing to focus on one of the most important words used when discussing the slats used in plantation shutters – ‘solid’. While there are some companies that use the word when describing their own inferior timber veneer slats, Country makes use of only genuinely solid Paulownia. The result is no buckling, no warping, and slats that are strong enough to be used in spans of up to 1,00 millimetres without sagging. Many competitors need two panels to cover this width.
The Paulownia timber slats of Country’s premium quality ‘Pinnacle’ plantation shutters are finished in tough, beautiful 2-pack polyurethane paint. This treatment creates a smooth, easy care finish that is as beautiful as it is durable. What’s more, from a decorator’s point of view it’s also incredibly versatile, opening up an endless choice of colours as well as the option of perfectly matching your shutters to your decor.
There’s another style of plantation shutters that also features the advantages of Paulownia timber but with a different look – it’s called ‘Drift’. The slats of the Drift range carry the texture of beach driftwood. It’s a fascinating and beautiful finish that can bring special interest to your windows. It is also available in a wide range of washes, stains and colours.
One of the features that homeowners love about custom made plantation shutters by Country is their precise, close fit to the windows. This brings a neat and streamlined look, but delivers an extra benefit that not everyone is aware of. The precise fit of custom plantation shutters also created a very effective insulating barrier. Its ability to block out glare and heat in summer, and lock in warmth during winter, can lead to significant energy savings.
If you need yet another reason to feel good about custom made plantation shutters by Country, once again it comes back to the Paulownia timber used to create the slats. The superb quality timber used by Country is sourced from wholly sustainable plantations. This means that you can invest in beautiful, energy-saving plantation shutters knowing that sourcing the timber they were crafted from had no negative environmental outcomes.
