Made-to-measure shutters for every window and room
For this home in Turnhout, untreated French Oak was chosen. Its natural colour and grain remain visible, complementing the flooring, woodwork and warm interior materials. The shutters are therefore both a window solution and beautifully crafted, furniture-like joinery.

Why real Oak looks different
Oak has natural variations in colour, grain and small details that are not concealed. Each panel therefore has its own unique pattern. With a natural finish, this variation becomes part of the design.
Choosing untreated material consciously
An untreated look calls for careful consideration of use and maintenance. The colour responds to daylight and surrounding materials. That is why samples should be viewed not only on screen, but alongside the flooring, walls and furniture.
89 mm louvres in proportion to the window
The wide louvres give the Oak panels a calm, balanced rhythm. When open, the wood grain remains visible around a generous view. The louvre size suits the scale of the window openings.
Central tilt bar and concealed hinge
The central tilt bar remains visible, giving operation a classic, direct character. Concealed hinges keep the connection between panel and frame refined. Together, these details complement the crafted material.
Made-to-measure solutions in two different rooms
The two project photos show how the same Oak finish works in different interior zones. The colour, louvre size and detailing remain consistent, while the panel layout and window proportions are tailored to each opening.
Maintaining a natural finish
After installation in Turnhout, the colour, grain, panel position and operation are assessed in daylight. Regular dusting with a dry cloth is usually sufficient. Avoiding prolonged wet cleaning helps preserve the natural look and finish of the wood.

Frequently asked questions
Is every Oak shutter exactly the same colour?
No. Natural variation in grain and colour is characteristic of real Oak and makes every panel unique.
Why choose 89 mm louvres for Oak?
The wide louvre creates a calm rhythm and allows the natural wood grain to remain clearly visible across larger surfaces.
What is the difference compared with painted wooden shutters?
A painted finish creates a more uniform colour. Natural Oak reveals the wood’s authentic grain and variation.
