PVC vs hardwood shutters: which material is right for you?

16 June 2026 ·

All three of our materials are built to last — the right one depends on the room and the look you’re after.

PVC (faux wood)

100% waterproof and wipe-clean, PVC is ideal for bathrooms, kitchens and anywhere with moisture. It won’t warp, crack or fade, and it’s our most affordable option.

Paulownia hardwood

Lightweight yet strong, Paulownia is perfect for large windows and wide louvres where you want a real hardwood without the weight.

Basswood hardwood

A premium fine-grain hardwood that takes stains beautifully — the connoisseur’s choice for statement rooms.
