Why Choose MDF Shutters?
MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard) is an engineered wood material known for its strength and consistency. It performs especially well in real-world, everyday environments where shutters may be opened and closed frequently.
MDF shutters are often chosen for family homes due to their durability and low-maintenance finish, offering excellent value without compromising on appearance.
- Durable and impact-resistant material
- Great value for money
- Smooth painted finish with clean lines
- Low maintenance and easy to clean
- Available in a choice of six painted colours
Ideal for Busy Areas and Shutter Doors
Thanks to its density and strength, MDF is a sensible choice for areas where shutters may be more exposed to daily life.
The Vazon range is particularly suitable for:
- Tracked shutter doors, including patio and bi-fold openings
- Children’s bedrooms and playrooms
- Hallways, boot rooms and other high-use spaces
- Homes with pets or active families
MDF is less prone to denting than some lighter materials, making it a reliable option where shutters may come into contact with bags, toys or passing foot traffic.
Tilt Rod Options
Vazon MDF shutters are available with a choice of tilt mechanisms, allowing you to tailor the look and operation to suit your interior style.
Centre tilt rod – a classic, traditional appearance
Offset tilt rod – a cleaner look with the rod positioned to the side
Concealed tilt – no visible rod for a minimal, contemporary finish
All options provide smooth operation and the same level of control over light and privacy.
Slat Sizes
Choosing the right slat size allows you to balance light control with overall appearance.
Smaller slats create a more traditional look and increased privacy, while larger slats offer a more open, contemporary feel when tilted open.
Available slat sizes include:
63mm
76mm
114mm
Our advisers can help you choose the most suitable slat size for your windows and room proportions.
Colour Options
The Vazon MDF range is available in six carefully selected painted finishes, designed to suit a wide range of interiors. These finishes are smooth, consistent and hard-wearing, making them ideal for everyday living.
Samples can be viewed in our showroom or during an in-home or Zoom consultation.
Things to Consider
While MDF shutters are durable and excellent value, there are a few practical considerations:
- Heavier than some wood or ABS slat shutters
- Not suitable for bathrooms or areas with high moisture
- Available in painted finishes only
For rooms with high humidity, such as bathrooms, or where a lighter material is required, we may recommend an alternative shutter range.
