Features And Benefits Of Basswood Shutters

If you're considering timber shutters for your home, basswood shutters are the ideal choice. They are a popular window covering option used in many Australian homes. Basswood shutters offer certain benefits that other shutters don't.

Features:

This hardwood is a member of the Linden family of trees having strong trucks and a fine woodgrain. As a result the shutters created from basswood have a fine texture and a smooth finish.
2. Basswood being a medium density timber is neither too heavy nor too light. Yet, it is reasonably hard enough to withstand shocks and bumps.
3. Unlike other timbers, basswood is not prone to warping due to heat and moisture. It is kiln dried to remove almost 90% moisture which makes it resistant to warping.
