What makes a classic
The question of shutters follows just a few moments later—because the weathered wooden shutters demand a decision. Is it time to repaint? Or should the old wooden shutters be replaced with modern aluminum shutters in a wood look? Answer: Aluminum shutters are not only the right choice, they are the new classic. We’ll tell you why.
Shutters with charm.
Decorations and decorative details
transform a house into a home
Wooden shutters not only have a harmonious appearance, but also come with a few disadvantages: wooden shutters require more maintenance. They need to be oiled and repainted regularly, as the glaze alone only lasts a few years. And even with careful cleaning and repainting, the wood is only partially protected from environmental influences.
Aluminum: can be recycled any number of times without loss of quality
In addition to a product’s functionality, its sustainability is increasingly in demand. Aesthetics alone are not enough. This is why aluminum shutters are at the forefront: they offer the aesthetic advantages of classic wood, but without its disadvantages. Especially in terms of durability. What’s more, aluminum can be recycled any number of times without loss of quality.
Wood look
Deceptively authentic wood character
Aluminum window shutters are everything that wooden window shutters are. From the slats to the shutter retainers in various shapes and colors, right through to individual hinges and hinges: the possibilities are endless. Even the aesthetics of wooden shutters can be easily recreated with deceptively authentic wood decor.
Preserving the authenticity of the façade
The pictures of the EHRET reference project in Schaffhausen illustrate this particularly well: here, the old wooden shutters were replaced with modern EHRET aluminum shutters. However, the charm and authenticity of the façade were preserved and refined with decorations such as the attached woman’s head shutter retainer or the laser-cut shapes.
Aluminum: lightweight, indestructible, sustainable.
Durable and dimensionally stable
However, the decisive advantage of aluminum shutters lies in their weather resistance—thanks to the robust material, the shutters not only require much less maintenance, but there is also less concern about signs of aging and weathering. The durability and dimensional stability of aluminum make EHRET window shutters loyal and reliable companions for life.
Unlimited design variety
The world of colors is also one of the key advantages: EHRET not only offers you impressive color options for window shutters. Unlike wooden shutters, aluminum shutters are also uniform and colorfast. The powder coating method not only eliminates the need for repainting, but also means that there are no paint residues that often cannot be reused in painting practice.
