Made-to-measure synthetic shutters for damp and intensively used spaces
At DeVo, synthetic refers to DeVo Hydro: a moisture-resistant shutter with an aluminium core. Its construction is designed for spaces where condensation, cleaning and daily use are more demanding than in a typical dry living room.
Why choose Hydro for your bathroom or kitchen?
The louvres and panels are easy to wipe clean, while the aluminium core provides additional stability. During the measuring appointment, we always check the distance from the shower, bath or sink area, the ventilation and the opening direction of the window. This ensures that both the material and the installation are suitable.
Light, privacy and ventilation remain practical
Angled louvres can limit direct views without blocking out all the natural light. For tilt-and-turn windows and ventilation settings, the panel configuration is designed to keep the window handle and ventilation function accessible.
What look can you achieve?
Hydro is made to measure, with the colour, louvre size and panel configuration tailored to the window frame, tiling and interior. This means a technically robust solution does not have to look technical.
From advice to installation
Your adviser professionally measures every window, discusses the material and operation, and finalises the specification before production. The shutters are then installed and adjusted. Explore DeVo Hydro →
Short answer
The essentials at a glance
In a humid room, it is not just the colour that needs to be right. The material, ventilation, distance from water and accessibility of the window all determine whether the shutters remain durable and practical.
Practical: Have moisture exposure, ventilation and window function assessed on site. This ensures that the material and installation are selected together to suit the room.
The choices that make the difference
Four points to assess before requesting a quotation
Moisture exposure
A bathroom next to a shower requires a different assessment from a well-ventilated kitchen or a dry toilet room.
Material choice
DeVo Hydro was developed for moisture-resistant applications and has an aluminium core for added stability.
Ventilation and window function
The tilt position, ventilation grille and window handle must remain accessible after installation.
Cleaning and use
Louvres and frames should be easy to wipe clean without harsh products or excessive water.
Avoid disappointment
Common mistakes when buying shutters
- Treating every bathroom as the same environment
- Forgetting about ventilation behind closed panels
- Choosing the material based on appearance alone
From idea to installation
How a carefully managed made-to-measure process works
- Collect photos and approximate measurements of the windows.
- Compare material, colour, louvre size and operation.
- Have every window professionally measured at multiple points.
- Confirm the panel layout, technical details, price and schedule.
- Have your shutters installed, adjusted and explained to you.

Frequently asked questions
How are moisture and ventilation taken into account?
Distance from water, condensation, ventilation, cleaning and window use are assessed in advance. In humid conditions, DeVo Hydro may be the appropriate material choice.
Is the same solution suitable for every window or room?
No. Moisture-resistant shutters with an aluminium core for intensively used spaces. The window type, dimensions, installation position, material requirements and daily use are assessed for each situation.
What does DeVo check during the professional site survey?
We take measurements at multiple points and check the frame, reveal, handles, opening direction, windowsill, available panel clearance, and the desired louvre and panel configuration, among other details.
How do louvre size and panel configuration affect the result?
They determine how many lines you see, how open the view through is and how practically the panels can open. The proportions in relation to the window matter more than one standard size.
Can I compare materials, colours and operating options first?
Yes. During your consultation and in the Oud-Turnhout showroom, you can compare current collections, colour samples, louvre sizes and operating options side by side.
Are measuring and installation included in the process?
Yes. DeVo guides the project from advice and technical measuring through to made-to-measure production, installation, adjustment and guidance on use and care.
