Shade outside the glass

With 18 days a year at 30 °C or more, exterior aluminum louvers or rolling shutters can shade a window before the sun reaches the glass. Inside, tilting wood louvers control light and privacy from the room.

Changes to the outside of a house

Exterior shutters change how a house looks from the street, so a municipality or condo corporation may need to approve them. Interior shutters don't.

Aluminum inside the house

Most aluminum shutters sold today are made for outdoors. Our own aluminum interior shutters are coming in 2027, made for bathrooms and humid rooms, with a wood-look finish and the same moulding levels as our wood shutters. No price until launch.
