Paulownia Shutters

Paulownia Shutters

PAULOWNIA is a great choice for internal shutters, it is a similar timber to the classic Western Red Cedar. Not only does it convey luxury and opulence, the lightweight, straight grained timber has the stability for large shutter panels. Superior insulating properties reduces heating & cooling costs with a natural resistance to moisture, decay and insect damage, and it’s an eco friendly option.

A variety of finishes are available for paulownia shutters: painted, washed or stained to highlight the characteristic timber grain. Colour tone variations will occur as with any natural timber product. Fixing options include fixed panels, direct hinged, framed, tracks, sliding and bi-fold right through to bay windows.

Blades are available in the elliptical style with sizes of 63mm or 89mm. Panel widths are dependent on the choice of blade size and fixing and can reach up to 1950mm. 

Due to Covid-19 issues the cost of Western Red Cedar has significantly increased so it could be worth considering Paulownia as an option. 

  • Description: Paulownia wood is lightweight yet strong, making it an excellent option for larger windows and doors.
  • Benefits: Eco-friendly, warp-resistant, and versatile.
  • Ideal For: Large window installations.

Cannot recommend Shutters Direct highly enough, who made replacing our 20+ year old cedar timber venetians with shutters a seamless exercise. Andrew, the owner, personally measured & quoted, & his wife Sandie kept us updated with invoices & installation details by email. Andrew also personally removed all of the old timber venetians & installed all of the new shutters himself (an entire house full), with the great assistance of Deb. Deb also went around the entire house vacuuming up any mess on completion of the job. Fabulous product & fabulous company to deal with. We couldn't be happier!!

Competitively priced and very happy with the result. We had a shutter made for a large double hung window to match others already in our home. Andrew and the team were a pleasure to deal with. Leave plenty of lead-in time if able, as turnaround time was about 10 weeks. But time wasn't an issue for us and I'd use Shutters Direct again, and recommend them without hesitation.

Our shutters are perfect. Well done Andrew and team - whole process was easy, and installation was great even though our 120+ year old house is not square anywhere! Took care of our house during installation and took away all the mess! Perfect. Highly recommend ! (house still under renovation, so sorry about not so fantastic photos)
