Interior shutters are fabulous I just love them, but why wooden shutters?

Wooden Plantation Shutters

Why not use some other material like MDF or plastic?

Although you can do great things with MDF and plastic wood is still the material of choice for nearly all shutter manufacturers.

First off wood is a sustainable product so for every tree felled a new one is planted and thereforewood is at a reasonable price.

Then there are the natural properties of wood like the look, the feel, the colour, the warmth and insulating properties. Last but not least its an easy material to work with.

Wooden shutters can be made in to arches and shapes that are not economically viable in other materials.

When it comes down to it you just have to look a wooden shutters to know they are far better than any other type of shutter.
