| Plantation Shutters | Hampton Range |
|---|---|
| Engineered Polymer Synthetic Extrusion | PVC Solid Cellular- Foam. All profiles incorporate internal Aluminium reinforcement. |
| Looks & Feels like real Timber | Our profiles are colour matched to our standard range of powder coat as well as custom colours. The Hampton’s distinctive point of difference is that it doesn’t look different at all! Its notable character is that it possesses all the hallmarks of a perfectly finished timber profile but will outlast it by many life times. In keeping with the high degree of engineering research we carry out on all of our developments, our embedded paint system exclusive only to us contains anti yellowing, high bond agents IV - UV inhibitor. Our standard colours are suitable for exterior conditions. |
| No Stick or Tilt Rod | Featuring world patented LouverMate actuation mechanism - No staples to work their way loose, no tension rod or screws to work loose, no unsightly stick to detract from the view. Some competitors offer the stick on the side; it’s still ugly and unreliable. An important observation is the accuracy of our blade closure compared to the poor uncoordinated closure of others. Less moving parts means less to fail. Refer to separate warranty statement |
| Solid Extruded Core | Reinforced with Aluminium, this makes blades as straight as an arrow…an important consideration in comparing low quality softwood timber shutters such as Basswood or MDF or hollow vinyl profiles. Refer to blade span tables. |
| Cellular Structure offers insulating co efficiencies | Offers insulating properties 3 times greater than aluminium offering superb light, noise & temperature insulation. Solid profiles offer proven thermal and structural advantages over hollow Vinyl which have the lowest insulating value of any shutters in the market. Low SGHC. Refer energy ratings. |
| No Moisture Absorption | Guaranteed against water permeation which certainly cannot be warranted by natural woods. Kitchens, bathrooms and Pool Cabanas will benefit from this inclusion. |
| Fire Resistant | Flammability and smoke indexes and low spread of flame certification offers design advantages in fire prone zones. Polywood has passed the Flammability test in accordance with UL94 compliant to IEC 60707, 60695-11-10 and 60695-11-20 and ISO 9772 and 9773. |
| 100% Recyclable | Appeals to the environmentally conscience Specifier. It’s made of wood grain waste and reclaimable polymers. |
| No Splitting, Chipping, Cracking or Rotting | Unlike some of the cheaper timber shutters on offer such as Basswood or MDF or imported poplar tree woods, we offer an unconditional warranty of performance. |
| Adds Value to your Property | It’s a shared view that a quality Plantation Shutter adds value, as it is to say a cheap copy of poor construction does not. |
| Easy to Clean & Maintain | Wash down, wipe down or feather dust, No solvent based cleaners to be used. |
| Termite (White Ant) Proof | Apart from this unique timber look composite, only natural Cedar has this character built in as protection against insect boring. |
| No End Caps | As with natural wood the sawn end grain has a clean and unobtrusive appearance. There are no extraneous end caps, bad edges unlike other vinyl shutters on the market. |
| Extensive Warranty | 10 year performance warranty out lasts any timber shutters on the market. |
| Substantial Frame Sizing | Our Frame size of 28mm thick x 60mm wide is reinforced with internal Aluminium section to ensure the same structural integrity offered in our Aluma Series. Light weight compared to Aluminium and approx same weight per mass as Cedar. Special PVC glue and stainless Steel screwed construction of frame ensures a structural frame built to last. |
| Design Diversity | Our shutter profiles are fully interchangeable. That is, we can input CedarLook® Woodland Series blades into an Oceana suite frame, produce glass hi light windows incorporating Polywood Shutters, and more. The advantage of that combo may be an aesthetic appeal, durability or a security concern. |
