Polymer, timber or aluminium plantation shutters?

Polymer

Polymer is a synthetic material often chosen for rooms with moisture or humidity, such as bathrooms and laundries.

Timber

Timber gives a natural, warm look. It is more sensitive to moisture than synthetic options, so we usually discuss alternatives for wet areas.
