Vogue Shutters
Vogue Shutters are made in Australia and are manufactured with a unique compound called Polyresin.Durability
Vogue Shutters are virtually maintenance free.They are not painted, so they will never need repainting. They will not blister, peel, flake, corrode or fade. They are unaffected by water or wood-destroying organisms. They are UV-stabilized for many years of performance in even the sunniest climates. They are designed for indoor and outdoor applications.Sustainability
The efficient design and durability of Vogue Shutters mean they will last many times longer than traditional blinds or shades. This is an important environmental benefit, because the longer a product lasts, the less energy and other resources are expended to both, manufacture, ship and install replacement products, and then remove, transport and dispose of those replacements. Vogue Shutters last many years, so when their cost is annualised, they can actually cost less than“cheaper” alternatives.Energy Efficient
Vogue Shutters are completely adjustable, allowing you to fully control the solar energy entering your windows and doors. Their macrocellular construction creates effective dead-air insulation, and coupled with polyresin’s low conductivity they greatly reduce heat exchange. Vogue Shutters reflect inbound solar rays back to the outside during summer, but can be opened to allow the warming sun into your home in winter, thereby reducing air-conditioning costs.Non-Toxic
The safety of Polyresin has been overwhelmingly confirmed in more than 50 years of scientific study. It is therefore no surprise that Polyresin is used extensively in schools, hospitals, day care centres, clinics, medical offices and nursing homes. Polyresin pipe brings potable water into millions of homes each day, and is widely used in food, beverage packaging and children’s toys.Indoor Air Quality
Vogue Shutters have no adverse impact on indoor air quality. Fabric window treatments can produce microscopic, inhalable airborne fibres, and are able to harbour mites, mould, mildew & bacteria in their porous surfaces. The non-porous surfaces of Vogue Shutters provide no haven for harmful organisms. Polyresin products are formaldehyde-free, and meet low VOC (volatile organic compound) requirements in standards such as those set forth by “Greenguard”.Recyclable
More than 95% of the Polyresin production waste can be granulated and recycled. Due to the durability of the product’s performance it will last longer than alternative products, requiring less energy resources for replacements. |
