Quarter-sawn timbers, as opposed to flat-sawn, are used to create the very finest furniture, so our Sussex® range of shutters incorporates nothing less. Quarter-sawing is a process which cuts the timbers from the tree lengths in a way which ensures the very strongest finished timber with inherently straight grain.

Shutters undergo considerable forces and strains when in constant use, so in order to overcome these every Lifetime® shutter is crafted using only mortise and tenon joints. These are arguably the strongest possible joints used in any form of woodworking.
The extreme lustre-like finish of Lifetime® Shutters is achieved using a very labour-intensive process which is the only way to produce shutters that Lifetime® customers deserve. Every piece of timber that is used is subject to hand sanding five times using ever finer grades of sandpaper. This process opens the pores of the wood and makes for an extremely smooth surface. Then five thin coats of finest quality paint or stain in the colour that you have chosen are added. This produces a finished shutter that has no comparison.

The Widest Choice Of Materials And Colours Available In The Industry

A range of different frame options. Your choice of materials and colours. Shutters produced in any design and to fit any window – even those out of square.

Natural wood has a tendency to twist and warp. In order to overcome this and ensure the long-term performance of our shutters we employ a technique which we call Prescription Wood Conditioning which helps to ensure that our shutters will continue to close perfectly long after inferior products would have twisted out of shape.

Humidity varies quite considerably around the world and even from one part of town to another. Our wood conditioning team will determine the humidity levels at your home location, and then the timbers that are to be used in the construction of your shutters are cured and dried in order to match the environmental conditions in your home. This process ensures that your shutters will not warp or twist and will continue to function, closing tightly without any gaps, year after year.
A properly built shutter should close to precision without any unpleasant-looking gaps and continue to do so. Lifetime® Shutters are the only manufacturer to overcome the tendency of wood to twist and warp by using reinforced stiles of multiple layers which are bonded together under heat and pressure and incorporate a proprietary chemical. This process ensures the durability and performance of every stile in Lifetime® shutters.
