Amhurst Shutters - Cedar for the senses
The beauty of WRC Shutters begins with the wood. Made from
stunning Western Red Cedar, Western Red Cedar is handcrafted to
highlight the intrinsic properties of the wood. This elegant wood
has an exceptional grain that creates the unique and distinctive
appearance of the WRC shutters.
Fashioned in palettes lush with toasty, mellow tones ranging
from light amber to deep honey brown, and infused with glowing reds
and buttery yellows, these natural shades are a much-loved trait of
red cedar. With a lacquer finish, the colour and tones of the
wood will intensify over time. With paint, the solid colour will
remain pure and unchanged. Whichever the choice, you are sure to
discover a favourite.
The finest heirloom furniture is made from quarter-sawn wood to
ensure generations of durability and so are the louvres in WRC
shutters. In quarter-sawing, the wood is harvested in a way that
makes it less susceptible to cupping, twisting and warping. Cuts
are made parallel to the wood instead of across, which gives the
wood remarkable strength and stability.
Traditionally used in furniture and building construction,
mortise-and- tenon joints are designed to withstand the shear
stress and racking forces applied when operating a shutter. This
makes the mortise and tenon an ideal joint for shutters.
Multiple layers of wood are bonded together to bolster the
stability of the core of the stile. This makes for a robust and
hearty support system for your shutter panel.
A wide range of innovative frame designs, including frames with
inserts that keep installation screws out of sight, provides for a
clean custom designer-look.
Light-weight WRC shutters are perfect for exceptionally wide
windows.
Personalize your shutters with custom options. Choose from fixed
louvres, hidden, centre or offset tilt rods, double hung panels,
café shutters, track systems, French door cutouts, specialty
shapes, motorisation and more.
Choose from a palette of natural and solid colours, as well as
custom colours selected from the current Dulux colour specifier
range.
