| EXCLUSIVE...
Top of the tree as it were. Our Exclusive shutters are Hand
Made in Manchester using a combination of CNC drilling
machines and time honoured craftsmanship. All the Exclusive range
comes with innovations which set then apart from other shutters
and they exude serious quality. Normally a shutter uses staples
between the tilt bar and louvre (nothing wrong with them they are
functional and economic) on the Exclusive we use a nylon hinge this
provides a smooth rattle free operation that feels sublime in its
action.
Again, shutters normally come with flush hinges, where as the Exclusive
range uses recessed butt hinges in either polished stainless Steel
(looks like chrome but will never rust) or solid Brass. All the
hinges are graded at 50 kilo so will never breakdown, ever. Our
Exclusive range is available in any colour, stain or finish to match
your décor. All these are standard and included in the price.
Frames and fittings are custom made to match existing architrave
and installation.
Lead Time: 4 weeks
To complete our range and to provide you with more choice,
we also “out source” a range of shutters which means
we can offer the most comprehensive choice of shutters available.
They are still all bespoke and custom made using the most sophisticated
machinery available All joints are mortise and tenon and the paint
and stain finishes are to be seen to be believed. We offer a Premium;
Mid-Premium and Economic range. There is no difference in how they
are constructed just the material used.
PREMIUM RANGE
