When choosing how to finish a window in style, here are some good reasons why to opt for any of our shutter ranges.
Whoever, wherever you are, an investment in our eco-friendly range of shutters and blinds gives you privacy, security, choice, style, insulation, versatility, control.
When choosing to install shutters to a property, the value they add goes far beyond that of aesthetics; shutters are a fixed architectural feature and because they are not decor specific, they are a price-increasing factor when the real estate industry and buyers assess the value of the property.
Often seen as an 'expensive' finish to a window when mistakenly compared to decor specific alternatives such as curtains or fashionable blind options, shutters should be seen in the category of architectural additions to any property.
Shutters are 100% adjustable; louvres can be opened or closed depending on the space's requirement for privacy. Hinged, bi-fold or by-pass shutters when open, do not impose on the flow or beauty of a space, and when closed give added functionality and privacy.
Our Security Shutter range of shutters is an effective and attractive alternative to burglar bars and traditional security gates.
Made from aluminium, this range with adjustable louvres is reinforced with steel rods running through the core of each louvre and extending into the aluminium stiles. Its spring loaded bolt system and universal key lock ensure that Security Shutter is not only aesthetically pleasing, but highly effective as a security measure.
Each Security Shutter installation is assessed to specific security requirements.

Our wooden shutter ranges add classic beauty to the value of any property. The beauty of wood transcends trends and fashion; perfectly suited to all interior styles and as comfortable in the company of antiques as it is with modern furnishings, the rich and interesting ambience of wood is invaluable.
The South African Government is focused on reducing the national energy requirement. Energy efficient standards are soon to be legislated for residential, commercial and industrial developments. This is being spearheaded by the Department of Minerals and Energy in collaboration with the Department of Housing. These standards, which are being established through the SABS, will stipulate the planning and design of naturally ventilated buildings. This includes aspects such as orientation, shading, window design, choice of building materials, solar heating and natural cooling and lighting.
Shutters offer excellent thermal insulation; blocking out the heat of the sun in hot summer months and providing an attractive insulating layer to keep homes warm in winter. Because they are adjustable, the amount of airflow and light can be controlled to suit specific ventilation and lighting needs.
Light, ventilation, privacy, even room configuration; shutters provide control over it all. Adjust the louvers to allow more or less air flow and light into a space, open or close the hinged, bi-fold or by-pass shutters to create an uninterrupted view or flow to a space or create spaces within spaces for added functionality.
Wood is inherently green; a renewable and sustainable material and when sourced from sustainable forests, it is a green material of choice.
