Put us on the menu!

 

A Foodie perhaps? Be sure to put us on the menu! The key ingredient to any kitchen is practical, easy to keep clean and little to no maintenance surface areas and surroundings. Our kitchen shutters will require the occasional wipe down with a wet cloth to ensure that you constantly have clean shutters. The Woodbury American Shutters® are hygienic because they are water, moisture and stain resistant.

And now, for a secret tip for the more intrepid chefs amongst you: when you’ve cooked something really yummy and the aroma is just stupendous, close the shutters! Cutting off the ventilation will cause the aroma to waft up into the air and the family will come scrambling in to the kitchen in no time at all, to find out what delicious treat you’ve conjured up! Equally important, if you’ve been side-tracked and the special treat has become a bit of a burnt offering, open the shutters to let the ventilation in to take care of any trace of an “over-zealous oven”!

Choices, choices and more choices!

We can offer you four choices of wooden shutter which each have distinctive features addressing specific needs:

Decowood™ Shutters is the premier range in the stable of wooden shutters. It is also our most cost-effective choice as it offers great looks and affordability. As with all our products, it is an eco-friendly range meaning that shutters are made from environmentally sustainably-grown timber. The patented polypropylene coating is easy to clean and will not fade, peel, crack or chip.

The Woodbury option of Decowood™ Shutters is the range we like to recommend for bathrooms and areas that will get exposed to moisture. The Woodbury range is waterproof and moisture and stain resistant. They are also easy to clean and low maintenance!

Choose the Normandy Shutters which are made from Kiri wood if you’re looking for a silky smooth, knot-free finish. The Normandy Shutter Range is our “gentle” option. They are gentle to the touch, gentle on the eye and gentle to the environment.

And, at the top of the range, our White Teak Shutters boast a beautiful light wood colour that will enhance any interior. They offer light weight touch functionality.

American Shutters® also offers an Aluminium range of shutters. We strictly only use architecture grade aluminium to ensure you get the best quality. Aluminium shutters are the king of low, low maintenance and hygienic properties.

Be your own Designer!

Study the area you want to have shutters in. Consider the architecture. Now look at the views … Don’t forget the style of decor you’ve opted for. Take it all in. Ponder for a moment, the mechanism of operation of the shutters that will best suit this particular environment. What the overall effect will be once the shutters have been opened. Ooh! This can be so exciting!

We have hinged options where the shutters “fold back” as they are opened. This could be a centrally opened shutter combination or, left or right opening option. You can also go “cafe style” where the shutters are split to give a more trendy effect.

Depending on the architectural features you might want to go with the Bi-fold operation where the shutters open in a “concertina-style” stacking system. And our last option, the Bi-pass operation will enable you to open the shutter as a “fold-in behind one another” mechanism.

Our very well trained representatives will be able to steer you to determining which option will best suit your architectural setting while at the same time, taking into consideration your personal preferences and the overall desired effect you’re looking for.

We’re proud of our manufacturing and sales service standards!
