Natural Woods; Stained, Traditional Limed Wax & Sandblasted

Natural woods
Experience the luxury of natural woods.  All natural Wood shutters are designed and manufactured made from solid woods from sustainable forests.

In a natural finish the range includes lighter colours such as Maple, Ash, American White Oak and Beech.
Warmer colours include, Teak, American Cherry and Western Red Cedar.
Darker woods include American Black Walnut and Mahogany.

We can also source sustainable exotic woods such as pearwood, Ovangkol and Zebrano.
As standard, our natural finish solid wooden shutters are finished by hand using a hardwax oil which gives a lustrous finish and enables the wood to breath.  All natural woods can be lacquered, stained or limed to create an individual finish.  

Stained
Staining and colour matching has long been used by French polishers. These same skills of traditional hand finishing are used by experienced craftsmen to create beautifully finished shutters.

Our stained shutters are finished in protective oils that penetrate the wood to highlight the natural colours and enhance the grain while allowing the wood to breath. Depending upon the sheen level required, lacquers can also be used.

Traditional Limed Wax
The Traditional method of “Liming” has long been used as a finish on exposed timbers to accentuate details and create dramatic contrasting white highlights on open grain woods such as Oak or Ash.

Sandblasted
Gently weathered wood is one of the essentials of a coastal style. Our collection of sandblasted shutters perfectly captures the authentic driftwood finish and then can be colour washed with special paint in any colour.
