Aluminium Window Shutters

Window shutters were first created in England hundreds of years ago with the sole purpose of protecting windows and were often made out of solid wooden boards. The shutters would be opened to let light and air when needed. Over the years these simple window shutters have transformed and can now be identified as the window shutters we know today. Window shutters today have a frame with vertical stiles and horizontal rails that make up the movable slats of the shutter. Over time these aluminium window systems have transformed, not only in what they look like but in the materials used to make them. Today we are seeing more and more aluminium window shutters replacing old wooden window shutters. This is primarily due to their low maintenance, durability, lightweight and strong material, versatility and aesthetic appeal.
