Is it true that most cedar shutters in Australia made in China? If so who makes genuine cedar shutters in Australia ? How can we know that we get the genuine cedar shutters if we get it painted in white Re: What are the questions to ask when you get SHUTTERS? 2May 25, 2015 11:39 am Ummm I have to ask. Why would you go to the expense of cedar shutters only to paint them white???? Our white shutters were ordered through an installer from Luxaflex. They are lifetime guaranteed (25 years plus) and made of polyresin. They are so tough they can be used for exteriors, they don't warp or lose colour in the sun.

Why would polyresin shutters be bad?They are so easy to clean, just a quick wipe down with a damp cloth, or using the vaccum brush.

They are either made of painted HDF (High Density Fibre) or ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) for wet areas or windows with a larger span and needed a more light weight product. They are so easy to clean. We have a lot less asthmatic and allergy problems now in a new house, than we did living in a 1960s house with drapes and less carpet... Henley - Wilshire Mk 3 ...
