Materials
Forest Shutters can offer a wide range of paints or natural stains as well as the option of choosing different hardwoods.
Types of Hardwood
Sustainable hardwood gives the best finish & durability
Paulownia - Princess Tree
Paulownia wood, ideal for shutters with its fine, knot-free grain, is available in 13 smooth paints, 11 smooth wood stains, and 4 Limewash finishes that showcase its deeper grain for a rustic or driftwood appearance. Despite being a hardwood, Paulownia is approximately 1/3 lighter than other hardwoods, making it perfect for Tier on Tier shutters or wider openings. Its eco-friendly nature allows for sustainable harvesting, and the Paulownia shutter range includes a scalloped-style Clearview rod for easy slat operation. Additionally, it offers all 4 rod control options and is suitable for shaped shutters, tracked shutters, and solid shutters.
Basswood
Rapidly maturing, Basswood is prized for its smooth and uniform grain, making it an excellent option for painted shutters. This premium wood, denser and harder than Paulownia, is our top choice for high-traffic areas or locations where shutters will experience frequent handling by various individuals. It is offered in all slat sizes and shutter styles, excluding Solid shutters.
Ashwood
Experience excellence with our Ash Hardwood shutters, featuring the deepest wood grains for a truly premium aesthetic. Sourced from trusted wood suppliers, we meticulously choose the highest grade Ash to craft this exceptional shutter range. Elevate the deep grain with a rich stained finish or opt for a painted finish to make your shutters truly distinctive. If you appreciate and want to marvel at the natural variation in wood grain, this is the perfect range for you.
