Thermalite™ Shutters
Thermalite™ Shutters are the best synthetic shutters available – they look and feel exactly like wood, but have some qualities that far surpass those of wood.
Danmer makes these custom synthetic shutters from polymer foam, Thermalite™, a solid, non-toxic, synthetic material. Because Danmer's Thermalite™ is 100% synthetic, no natural resources are destroyed in their manufacturing process. In addition, Thermalite™ is water resistant, fire retardant, and insulates at an effective rating of more than two times greater than wood.
Danmer's manufacturing process in these synthetic customized shutters includes the patented Duraglide Louver Tension System, guaranteed never to need tightening or adjusting. The fastening system used to secure the tilt rod to the louvers is guaranteed never to loosen or to pull out for the lifetime of these beautiful custom made shutters.
