Organic Shutters: All-Natural Materials for a Pure Home
Organic shutters utilize responsibly sourced natural materials to create a soothing, healthy living environment free from plastics, synthetics and harsh chemicals.
Bamboo Shutters
Bamboo makes an incredibly eco-friendly shutter material, reaching maturity rapidly without fertilizers. Bamboo sequesters substantial CO2 and converts it to pure oxygen. Brands like Bamboo Hardwoods craft durable bamboo louver and panel shutters.
Natural Wood Shutters
Sustainably harvested solid wood shutters from poplar, pine, ash, oak and other species avoid the glues in composites. Unfinished natural wood allows non-toxic stains. FSC-certified wood promotes responsible forestry.
Organic Cotton Composite Shutters
On the luxury end, Alethia uses a proprietary blend of recycled wood, organic cotton and natural adhesives to produce tailored composite shutters competitively priced with upscale brands.
Organic Hemp Composite Boards
Fibrous organic hemp combines with environmentally responsible resins to create hemp composite substrate for shutters and siding. Hemp farming regenerates topsoil naturally without chemicals.
Natural Cork Shutters
Cork oak trees shed renewable outer bark layers used to produce lightweight, insulating, natural cork panels suitable for shutters. Renew Cork makes quality sustainable window shutters from Portuguese cork.
Natural Wood Stains and Paints
Keep finishes on your natural wood or bamboo shutters pure by using zero-VOC plant-based stains, milk paints, natural citrus solvents and food-grade oils. Prioritize water-based over oils.
Beeswax Wood Finishes
As a traditional organic finish, formulated beeswax adds protective shine to natural wood shutters without off-gassing VOCs. Beeswax enhances wood grain beautifully.
Organic Linseed Oil Protection
Linseed oil derived from pressing flax seeds leaves a protective finish on wood and bamboo shutters while avoiding synthetic varnishes and stains with VOCs and solvents.
Natural Insect Deterrents
Safe, organic essential oils like citronella, lavender, peppermint and tea tree naturally repel moths, spiders and ants when applied to shutters. Reapply oils periodically.
Organic Cleaning Products
Clean finished shutters using only natural cleaning ingredients like vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, liquid castile soap and essential oils. Avoid commercial cleaners with synthetic toxins.
Natural Fire Retardants
Responsible brands often treat natural wood shutters with food-grade borax for flame retardancy rather than synthetic chemicals. Borax is naturally mined.
Create an organic oasis using shutters made from renewable materials harvested and processed sustainably. Coupled with non-toxic care, organic shutters support healthy living.
