POLYWOOD WHAT IS IT?

PolyWood® was first developed in America, the home of the plantation shutter. It is an engineered wood substitute and was developed specifically for shutters. By using PolyWood®, the problems associated with wood and the unattractive look of plastic are eliminated.PolyWood® shutters are also better value overall, making them quite simply, the best shutters available today.

PolyWood® is unaffected by moisture and unlike wood will not expand or contract so it does not crack, warp or peel. Wood is also hygroscopic - it gives off and absorbs water, which makes it contract and expand so that the panels and louvres become warped. Once these warp they will no longer fit properly and light will show through. With a PolyWood® shutter you will get a perfect closure every time.

PolyWood® is the easiest window treatment to clean, just use an everyday glass cleaner.

The finish on PolyWood® is virtually perfect, wood is normally used for comparison and there is no contest. PolyWood® is many times stronger than wood making it almost impervious to damage.

PolyWood® has the highest USA fire rating, Class V-O, the best rating possible, and is self-extinguishing when you take the flame source away. Also PolyWood® generates less smoke than most raw wood, adding to its appeal.

PolyWood® is the perfect product for today's environmentally friendly generation since it does not deplete our increasingly scarce forests, and is also recyclable.
