Not all shutters are created equal

5 tips for evaluating wood plantation shutters

1. It’s not only the species. It’s what’s on the inside that counts.

Highprofile painted wood plantation shutters are 100% Poplar, an even-grained wood measuring 540 on the Janka hardness scale. Often shutters sold as ‘Basswood’ are Laminated Veneer Lumber or a thin Basswood veneer (30%) around laminated strips of other woods. Always confirm a wood plantation shutter is 100% of the wood species.

2. Hand-selection is key.

One of the key features of a stained wood shutter, is the luxurious look of the natural grain. Our stained Highprofile wood shutters are made from 100% Basswood, which is hand-selected, to ensure even grain appearance every time.

3. Not all paints are the same.

Highprofile wood plantation shutters are finished in quality 2-pack polyurethane paint, used in kitchens and high-end cabinetry. Other shutters may be painted with an inferior Nitro Cellulosic paint. Highprofile’s 2-pack paint has been developed to last with a flawless finish.

4. If it’s 100% wood, it’s 100% organic and renewable.

Highprofile wood plantation shutters are made from 100% wood, which is recyclable, biodegradable and requires less energy to produce than other inorganic materials. Our unique construction results in a more efficient yield from the tree.
