Polycore Shutters Will Dress Your Windows to the Elegance You Deserve

Plantation Shutters that Gracefully Impress You, Your Neighbours and the Elements

PolyCore shutters are a very desirable and up market type of plantation shutter and hold many advantages over the traditional wooden shutters as well as the modern synthetic alternatives. PolyCore is a man-made product that has an attractive painted wood-like appearance with the additional qualities of strength and durability. The louvers are wider than the traditional shutters and have an elliptical profile, adding the quality of subtle elegance to this fine product. For many people, the decidedly attractive feature is the price-saving feature these man-made products have over their wooden alternatives. This can be around 30% over the classic and Basswood shutters and even up to 50% on the Alder wood.

Polycore plantation shutters are a highly durable, easy-to-clean and maintenance-free product. They are made from a polymer material but with an aluminum core for additional strength test. This aluminum core is described as being co-extruded into solid polymer. They also have excellent flame resistant properties and have the characteristics of being self-extinguishing. Polycore plantation shutters can be custom-made to fit over odd shaped windows such as semicircular, oval or triangular arches and so on. They presently come in the choice of three colors, these being bright white, dull light and off-white. Finishing consistency is ensured throughout with a state-of-the-art computerized painting process that occurs prior to assembly.

Why Are Polycore Plantation Shutters So Special and Different?
One of the main secrets, as to why the Polycore shutter is so special, is the internal (and completely invisible) aluminum cross-sectional box re-inforcing. The aluminum reinforcement produces several distinct advantages over its alternative synthetic polymer or faux wood products including:

It makes the shutter frame and louvers very strong and highly durable whilst allowing scope for aesthetic design.
It prevents the shutter from warping or bowing which causes cracking and peeling of paint in other synthetic shutter materials. Your Polycore product will never need repainting.
It allows the Polycore shutter components to be bolted together for extra durability. Other poly-style products and materials have to be glued together – their material structures are too frail to allow for bolting.

Interior Window Shutters Beautify and Protect Your Residence
Whether you would like to use Polycore or keep to a more traditional style of wooden interior window shutter design, you are likely to feel rightly satisfied with their looks and practicality. You can't nor would you want to describe them as glamorous, but they do have a beauty of their own. They declare that "hard to describe" quality or stamp of regality whilst providing you (and your possessions) with the assurance of a more protected home and secure living environment.
