MDF Plantation Shutters – The Vazon Range

Our Vazon MDF Plantation Shutters offer a durable, affordable solution for homeowners who want a stylish shutter finish that stands up to everyday life. Made from high-density MDF, these shutters are particularly well suited for busy family homes, tracked shutter doors, and high-contact areas where knocks and bumps are more likely.

The Vazon range combines traditional looks with practical strength, making it one of the most cost-effective shutter solutions we offer — without compromising on quality or appearance.

💡 Why Choose MDF Shutters?

MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard) is a robust, engineered wood composite that’s harder and more impact-resistant than many timber shutters. While often underestimated, MDF performs exceptionally well in real-world conditions — especially in spaces where other shutters might struggle with wear and tear.

Here’s why MDF shutters could be the perfect fit for your home:

✅ Resistant to dents and knocks – ideal for homes with young children or pets
✅ Great value for money – one of the most affordable shutter ranges we offer
✅ Smooth, painted finish – clean lines and timeless style
✅ Low maintenance – easy to clean and long-lasting
✅ Available in 6 on-trend colours to suit most interior palettes

Looking for shutters that are tough enough for toy traffic, footfall, or daily life? Vazon MDF could be your answer.

🚪 Ideal for Shutter Doors and High-Traffic Areas

One of the key strengths of MDF shutters is their impact resistance — which makes them especially well-suited for installations such as:
• Tracked Shutter doors (e.g. patio or bifold door openings)
• Children’s bedrooms and playrooms
• Busy hallways or boot rooms
• Homes with pets or active families

Because MDF is denser than lightweight wood or ABS slat shutters, it’s less prone to denting, making it a solid choice for shutters that may come into contact with toys, bags, or passing feet.

🎚️ Tilt Rod Options – Classic or Contemporary Control

Our Vazon MDF Shutters are available with a choice of tilt rod styles, allowing you to customise the look and feel to suit your home:
• Traditional Centre Tilt Rod
A visible rod running down the centre of the panel — ideal for classic interiors and traditional window styles.
• Offset Tilt Rod
Positioned to the side of the panel, this option keeps the slats central but creates a cleaner look, especially for full-height shutters.
• Concealed Tilt Mechanism
No visible rod at all. Simply tilt one slat by hand to adjust the whole panel. A sleek, minimal look that suits modern interiors.

Each tilt style offers smooth, easy operation and the same level of control over light and privacy — it’s simply a matter of personal preference.

📏 Slat Sizes – Tailor the Look and Light Control

Our Vazon MDF shutters are available in a range of slat sizes, giving you control over both the appearance and the functionality of your shutters.

Larger slats create a more open, airy feel and let in more light when tilted open. Smaller slats offer greater privacy and a more traditional look.

Available Slat Sizes:

• 63mm – Classic and proportioned, ideal for smaller windows & bay windows
• 76mm – The most popular size, offering a balance of light and privacy
• 89mm – Wider slats for a more contemporary, open feel
• 114mm – Bold and modern, ideal for taller windows

⚠️ Limitations to Consider – Heavier & Not Moisture-Resistant

While MDF shutters are extremely tough and cost-effective, they do have a few limitations to be aware of:
• Heavier than wood or ABS Slat Shutters – not recommended for very large panels or unusually shaped windows
• Not moisture-resistant – not suitable for bathrooms, wet rooms, or kitchens with high humidity
• Painted finish only – unlike wood shutters, MDF is not available in stained or natural grain finishes

That’s why we may recommend ABS Slat (Alderney) or Basswood (Fermain) shutters for those specialist spaces — and we’re always happy to advise on what’s best for your home.
