With its fine, knot-free grain, paulownia wood is ideal for painting and staining. Although a hardwood, it is roughly a third lighter in weight that most other hardwoods. C&C Trade Shutters create paulownia wood shutters in a variety of stains, finishes and colours.
This makes paulownia wood the perfect choice for wider windows or Tier-on-Tier shutters. Paulownia wood is great for the environment too. A deep-rooted tree with a complex root system, it yields one cubic metre of hardwood in eight years, after which time a new stem will shoot. Therefore, a single plantation can be harvested several times, providing a sustainable and renewable source over time. Although lightweight, this timber is strong and will not crack or split when nails or screws are used.
C&C Trade Shutters offers a seamless installation process for our paulownia wood shutters. Any minor adjustments required to the frames during installation can be easily corrected by a simple plane or sand back and touch up with paint. Due to the light weight nature, paulownia wood shutters are ideal for larger windows.
Paulownia offers the full range of C&C Trade Shutters options: 14 paints, 15 grained botanical finishes, 11 wood stains, and Solid Shaker & Solid Raised shutters. They can be made into special shutter shapes too (e.g., triangles, circles).
Our botanical range has a grained finish, making it ideal for spaces with a natural vibe. Whether your customers have a period property or need something romantic and rustic, the botanical range is the one for them.
There are four rod options in total: Central, Offset, Clearview, and Hidden. Available in a full range of colours and design options, Paulownia wood shutters can be matched to custom colours too*.
