Window coverings in high-humidity rooms like kitchens and bathrooms face a unique challenge. These areas are constantly exposed to steam, splashes, and condensation. Coastal air and old terrace housing in Liverpool mean constant humidity exposure. If you’ve ever loved the look of elegant shutters but worried about them buckling or warping in the damp Liverpool climate, we have the perfect solution: Faux Wood Shutters. This is the only type of shutters Liverpool can rely on for guaranteed moisture resistance.
We only recommend this specific shutter material for wet rooms because its durability is proven by our installations across the city. This durable choice is quickly becoming the preferred window dressing for local kitchens and bathrooms.
The Superiority of Faux Wood (Polymer)
Real wood is beautiful but naturally porous. When exposed to high moisture, it will swell, warp, and crack. We’ve seen real wood shutters destroyed by steam in just two years. Faux wood is the only reliable defence. This is where Faux Wood (robust PVC or advanced polymer) completely changes the game.
Faux Wood Shutters offer 100% waterproof performance. They easily withstand direct splashes and heavy condensation, completely removing the fear of structural damage, chipping, or peeling. This makes them virtually maintenance-free: a simple wipe-down is all it takes to keep them looking pristine, even after a hectic day in the kitchen or a steamy shower. For property managers and commercial clients, this zero-maintenance durability translates directly into reduced property upkeep costs and elimination of moisture-related replacement liability. We ensure these waterproof shutters Liverpool provides are built to last.
Style That Doesn’t Compromise Durability
The outdated idea that “faux” means “fake” is gone. Our premium Faux Wood Shutters perfectly mimic the luxurious look and texture of real painted wood. They offer the same classic elegance, clean lines, and precise light control as high-end shutters, with complete water resistance. Choosing our shutters Liverpool means selecting unmatched durability and style.
You can select from a wide range of neutral tones, including crisp whites and elegant creams, which are perfect for reflecting light and creating an airy, clean feel in smaller, humid spaces like en-suites or utility rooms. The material resists dents and scratches, securing its longevity.
Full Height Shutters: The Classic, Customisable Look
Full Height Shutters are the most popular style and offer the most comprehensive coverage, running from the top to the bottom of your window recess. When you choose our Faux Wood material, this versatile style becomes ideal for your kitchen or bathroom. These robust shutters preferred by Liverpool homeowners offer excellent privacy.
When choosing this classic style, a key factor in customization is the louvre size and panel configuration:
- Louvre Size: You can select the slat size that best suits your window and desired view. Options typically range from 63mm (for a more traditional, classic look) up to 89mm. The 89mm louvres are our standard for modern kitchens, maximizing the daylight you need for prep work.
- Mid-Rails: A Mid-Rail is a horizontal divider that runs across the panel. It provides structural stability for tall panels and allows you to operate the louvres on the top half independently from the bottom, giving you even greater light and privacy control. This is a must-have consideration for tall bathroom or kitchen windows.

Covering Large Kitchen Openings: Full Height Tracked Shutters
For modern kitchens and extensions featuring large bi-fold or sliding patio doors, a standard shutter isn’t suitable. These openings require a solution that is stable across a wide span and easy to operate. Our Full Height Tracked Shutters fit this need perfectly.
These shutters run along a discreet track system, allowing entire sections to slide or fold neatly out of the way, giving you full access to your garden or patio. The Faux Wood (Polymer) material ensures structural integrity and 100% waterproof performance. This makes them ideal for outside doors where rain, moisture, and splashes are inevitable. This option provides superior insulation, total privacy, and unmatched control across your largest openings.
