PVC Polymer Shutters: The EcoSmart Range
Our EcoSmart shutters are crafted from durable PVC that looks like gorgeous wood, and boasts easy operation and maintenance. These PVC Shutters are hugely popular among our customers and are built to withstand close proximity to wet areas such as showers, bathrooms, and kitchen sinks.
Why choose our PVC shutters?
Let as much light in as you want with these easy, adjustable slat designs. Our premium PVC shutters combine elegance, durability, and sustainability. Made from a unique virgin polymer reinforced with a patented aluminium core, they resist warping, bowing, and cracking, even in high-humidity areas like bathrooms and kitchens. Unlike MDF shutters, which are prone to swelling and degrading in moisture, our PVC shutters maintain their strength and beauty over time, making them ideal for any room in your home.
With a silky finish and a design visually indistinguishable from timber, these shutters offer the perfect balance of style and performance. Their durability minimizes replacements, making them an eco-friendly and long-lasting choice for indoor and outdoor spaces.
EcoSmart - Made from Polymer
Crafted from recyclable materials and our own formulated virgin Polymer, our PVC Shutters are reinforced with a patented aluminium core to maintain durability. This special combination offers resistance to warm temperatures, water and UV light. PVC is an ideal material for shutters because of its tough physical properties. Featuring highly stable joints, our indoor PVC shutters are built to last, even when exposed to humidity or temperature changes. They also function as effective PVC exterior shutters when modified with an exterior paint finish. All of our paints are also low in VOC and water-based, making them safe for asthmatics, kids and pets.

What is the history of PVC shutters?
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) is a synthetic plastic material with a rich history that dates back to the 1830s. However, it was the 1960s that saw a rapid rise in the use of the versatile material as more and more people in the construction and manufacturing sectors saw its benefits.
Today, sustainable variations and modern enhancements of PVC continue to occur, making it one of the most popular plastics used in the shutter and blinds industry. In New Zealand, PVC shutters continue to grow as one of the most effective types of shutters among homeowners, and for good reason. They’re affordably priced, durable and offer easy maintenance.
