FSC Shutters

We all like to play our part in making sure that we conduct our lives in a way which does not negatively impact the environment. Buying our wooden shutters makes that process painless, thanks to the fact that all plantation shutters sold by us are made from FSC certified woods. This means when you are buying plantation shutters from our companies you are making a positive choice to help with environmental issues, as logging and deforrestation are not part of our production process.

We won't use uPVC, plastics or composites for the production of any of our own window shutters, they are all made from elm and poplar hard woods.

Well, put simply, it means that the wood used to construct your shutters has met the exacting standards of an organisation known as the Forest Stewardship Council. This not-for-profit, non government body, whose raison d’être is to promote the responsible management of the world’s forests. The FSC undertakes a long term study of the manufacturing facility where the shutters are made. This sees the wood used to make the shutters, followed through what is known as a ‘chain of custody’ (referred to as COC).

• This COC ensures all wood used us sourced from FSC approved forests and that the wood is not ‘polluted’ with illegally harvested woods.
• FSC approved products carry the ‘tick’ mark which shows that they meet the high standards set by the Forest Stewardship Council.
• FSC Shutters (link to ps Glasgow gallery page) sold by The California Company carry that FSC tick mark, showing they have been made from FSC wood.
• Unrivalled in terms of product quality and finish, your shutters quite literally, don’t cost the earth. It’s nice to know that your window treatment can look beautiful and be environmentally responsible at the same time.
