Wooden Shutters for your windows from Signature Shutters UK

Wooden window shutters are hugely popular because of their enduring and timeless good looks and durability.  This type of shutter is also excellent for offering effective resistance to environmental conditions like direct sunlight and rain. However the quality of the interior window shutters will depend on the quality of wood used as well as the kinds of joints used. Most wood shutters are kiln-dried and laminated for extra strength and durability. You will find that all of our products are of high quality and can be custom fitted and installed for you.

The wood that is used for interior shutters depends on its weight, strength and resistance to climatic conditions. The kinds of wood most often used in shutters include basswood, Lockwood and craftwood. Basswood is the lightest and can be used in windows that have very wide openings. It's even grain and good mechanical properties make it one of the more commonly used woods for window shutters. Craftwood is a more heavy wood but it's water-resistant properties make it ideal for use in bathrooms and other rooms with high humidity.

Fitting and Joints

The kinds of joints used are also very important as this can affect their strength. it is better to get wooden window shutters that have one full length, especially for those which are to be painted, as the joints may in time show through.

Joints need to be solid and b to create a long lasting window fitting. Finger joints connect two shorter lengths of wood. Finger joints ultimately show through the finish of a painted shutter and look poor from the beginning for a stained item. It is bly recommended to purchase shutters that use full lengths of wood and do not use finger joints. Other factors to be considered when buying wood window shutters are the size and thickness of the panel and also the kind of hinges that are used.
