Our Plantation Shutter Ranges

Choosing the right shutter can make all the difference. That’s why we offer four premium plantation shutter ranges, each designed for different needs, rooms, and budgets.

Hybrawood Shutters®

Exceptional Value Without Compromise

If you’re searching for affordable plantation shutters in Greater Manchester without sacrificing quality, our Hybrawood Shutters® are a fantastic choice.

These shutters are genuinely unique. Unlike many entry-level shutters on the market, we don’t use MDF. Instead, Hybrawood combines hardwood construction with advanced polyvinyl slats and a reinforced aluminium core, creating a shutter that is both strong and long-lasting.

Built to Last

Hybrawood shutters are designed for everyday living. The hardwood frame provides strength, while the aluminium-reinforced slats increase durability and resistance to damage.

Perfect for Older Windows

Because the frames are made from FSC-accredited timber, they are easy to adjust during installation. This makes Hybrawood an excellent option for older or uneven windows, which are common in many Greater Manchester homes.

A Beautiful Smooth Finish

Our Hybrawood shutters are spray painted to a sleek, smooth finish with UV-protective paint to prevent sun damage. They are available in a wide range of colours, and we can also colour match to Farrow & Ball, Dulux Trade or RAL colours.

Aluminium Core PVC Shutters®

100% Waterproof Shutters for Kitchens & Bathrooms

Looking for waterproof plantation shutters in Greater Manchester? Our Aluminium Core PVC Shutters® are the ideal solution.

Designed specifically for moisture-prone areas, these shutters are perfect for bathrooms, kitchens, wet rooms, and utility rooms.

Built for Tough Environments

These shutters are 100% waterproof, meaning they will not warp, fade, peel or crack, even when exposed to humidity and water.

Looks Just Like Real Wood

Unlike many plastic shutters, our PVC shutters are painted with the same premium NC paint used on our wooden shutters, giving them a high-end wood appearance.

Easy to Clean & Maintain

Another major advantage is how simple they are to maintain. A quick wipe keeps them looking fresh — no damp fabrics or mildew smells like traditional curtains or blinds.
