Too many problems with warping, paint shrinkage etc Now we are hugely confused .... does anyone have any views, experience etc? Thanks so much Re: Help - Plantation Shutters - what's wrong with Basswood? 2May 07, 2010 1:09 pm I'd like to know about this too Anyone?? ************* First time renovator VIC Re: Help - Plantation Shutters - what's wrong with Basswood? 4May 10, 2010 11:15 pm Hi Sanda, I have just ordered 17 plantation shutters, but I went for a mix of PVC coated HDF (custom craft) and another product called ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) for the ensuite and the loungeroom bi-fold (the panels can be made wider than the HDF which has a small size limitation and won't warp in wet areas). I haven't heard anything about basswood, so I can't be much help to you. I will move this thread over to the 'windows and doors' forum where you might have a bit more success of some answers!
