Questions

More in the retail partner document library.

Is Paulownia suitable for bathrooms?

Not for wet areas. Use PVC where water will reach the shutter, or Aluminium outside.

Which finish hides joins best?

Painted and closed stain. Open stain and brushed show the grain and the joins between pieces.

How wide can a single panel be?

Up to 950 mm hinged. Wider openings use more panels, a T post or a sliding or bifold track.

Can I get a colour that is not in the range?

Yes. Retail partners can request a custom colour from a colour book through the office (in Order, coming soon). A sample is posted for approval first.
