What type of wood We use for interior plantation shutters?
Basswood shutters are the most popular choice of all wood shutters for windows. It has a closed grain and produces less sap, which makes it easier to apply primer and stains. The slow growth also means that the wood is straighter and cracks less, making it a much better choice than other woods.
When shopping for window shutters, you likely won’t find a more durable wood option than basswood. While durability might not be the first thing that comes to mind when considering window coverings, finding a solid wood built to stand the test of time is more important than you would think.
Basswood is a hard, durable type of wood that resists warping and is not easily affected by heat and water. That means you can install them even in spaces where you would normally avoid using timber shutters, such as bathrooms and kitchens.
Those who purchase our basswood shutters can take comfort knowing that their new window treatment will remain sturdy for years after installation.
