Matching original woodwork

With 39% of homes this old, many still have stained trim and doors. Name the stain, or send a photo of the trim beside a window, and we match the shutters to it. Poplar's colour varies from board to board, so a stained shutter looks like natural wood rather than one flat colour.

Why poplar

Bought to stay

Owners live in 80% of homes here. A stain can be refreshed or painted over in years to come, which a factory-coloured vinyl shutter can't.
