Shutters R Us presents another first for our industry... Polywood Shutters
Solid Cellular Foam technology, a solid emulated wood look and feel shutter profile with many great features and benefits …and cost savings.
Thanks to Polywood Shutters, you can now enjoy plantation style window coverings that look just like our elegant timber shutters and yet have far more features and benefits. Unlike some of the cheaper timber shutters on offer (which are mainly imported Basswood or Poplar Tree woods), Our indoor Polywood will not split, chip, warp, crack or discolour. Our Polycell-Core insulates three times better than Aluminum, is easy to clean and maintain, and is moisture- and fire-resistant. This unique shutter features solid core extruded components, making it the far stronger and more durable than a wood shutter.
Polywood Shutters is a division of Shutters R Us Manufacturing Sydney Australia.
