Finishes are Stained, lacqured or painted in a standard white range of colours. Alternatively, customer paint to match a specific wall colour. The weathered cedar shutter comes as stained product.
Imported shutters are a cheaper alternative however beware of a number of things such as:
- paints and if they comply with Australian standards,
- insects and if panely have been properly treated for termites and borer,
- timber and how it is joined ask if slats are finger jointed ie not one piece of timber. Also, ask if timber is solid or just a veneer.
- Frame joints shutters require a frame that is strong and able to withstand opening and closing over a long period of time. Check if frames have good join techniques such as mortice and tenon joints and do not for instance have a small plastic butterfly clip. |
