Timber Shutters
Made from premium hardwood timber sourced from sustainably managed forests.
Our Timber shutters are the most versatile option in our range, suitable for most windows, doors, and interiors.
Our Hardwood Shutter Collection
MYT only uses premium hardwoods to ensure durability and long-term performance. While MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard) and EWC (Engineered Wood Composite) are widely used as cost-effective alternatives, they are heavier, less adaptable, and more sensitive to moisture over time, offering a limited lifespan and lesser finish compared to solid hardwood.

MYT only uses premium hardwoods to ensure durability and long-term performance. We never use MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard) or EWC (Engineered Wood Composite) for our shutter panels, as these materials can warp over time and don’t offer the same strength, quality or finish as solid hardwood.

how Timber Shutters work
While the appearance of your timber window shutters matters, their functionality is just as important. Because plantation shutters are a fixed feature in your home, it is essential they allow you to open your windows and doors without any obstruction.
How your shutters are configured will depend on your window or door type, as well as how you use the space. Below are the most common timber shutter configurations:
Shutter panel function:
- Hinged – swings open like a door
- Sliding – panels slide past each other on a track
- Bifold – panels fold together on a track
- Fixed – non-opening panel for static coverage
Blade tilting options:
- Centre or offset tilt rod – a traditional, classic look
- Clearview – discreet connector connecting the back of the blades
- Supatilt – hidden internal mechanism for a clean, modern look
How our process works
The heritage shutter
The latest addition to our timber shutter range is the Heritage Shutter, featuring a distinctive bevel-edged blade. Its sleek, modern design offers a unique blade closure not seen in any other timber shutter on the market.

FAQs
Why choose timber shutters?
Timber shutters offer a natural, durable, and versatile window covering that suits a wide range of interiors. They provide excellent insulation, effective light and airflow control, and can be customised with painted or stained finishes to match your style. Solid timber shutters are also long-lasting and made from sustainable materials, making them a practical and environmentally friendly choice for your home. They can also be custom-made to fit almost any window shape, including arched, angled, or round designs.
What timber shutters colours do you have?
In our wooden shutters range, you can choose a painted, stained, oiled, or lacquered finish—depending on the material.
- Painted: MYT Shutters offers 15 modern colours, plus custom options (RAL, Dulux, Resene). We use eco-friendly, water-based paints—safe for the whole family. Looking for a classic white timber shutter with a smooth painted finish? Basswood or Paulownia are our most popular choices for a clean, timeless look.
- Stained: Highlight the natural wood grain with our stain finishes for a warm, organic look. For a stronger, beach look texture, opt for a Paulownia Rustic finish. A more subtle, yet still visible texture White Teak is your best choice.
- Oiled or Lacquered: Available exclusively for Western Red Cedar shutters to enhance its natural red-brown tones. Colour variation is expected between the blades and panels, as it showcases the wood’s authentic beauty.
Do plantation shutters help insulate my home?
Yes, plantation shutters can significantly help reduce heat loss through windows, making your home more energy efficient. Solid timber shutter panels create an insulating barrier that helps retain warmth in winter and block out heat in summer. According to industry studies, shutters can reduce heat loss by up to 33%, helping lower energy bills and improve indoor comfort.
How do I clean and maintain my timber shutters?
To keep your timber shutters in great condition, dust them regularly with a soft cloth or microfibre duster. For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth with mild, non-abrasive soap—avoid excess water to prevent damage to the timber finish. Never use harsh chemicals on timber shutters, as they can cause discolouration or damage to the finish.
Proper maintenance helps extend the life of your timber shutters and keeps them looking their best.
Are timber shutters sustainable?
Yes, timber shutters are one of the most sustainable window covering options available. Their natural insulating properties and dual closure feature help regulate warmth and airflow, reducing the need for heating or cooling your home.
Our commitment to crafting premium, long-lasting products means fewer replacements over time—reducing the need to buy new window coverings every few years.
At MYT Shutters, we go further by ensuring our timber plantation shutters are made responsibly. We use sustainably sourced wood, recycle 100% of our material cutoffs, filter and reuse water, and use plastic-free, eco-friendly packaging—making our timber shutters a smart, sustainable choice for your home.
