Is basswood the same as MDF?

Much lighter than MDF and only a little less hardwearing, it is also more expensive. Basswood has a smooth finish which means we can offer it in a wider range of colours with an even, sprayed finish. If any damage occurs to the shutter we can sand the scratch out and re-spray the area, unlike MDF.

Hardwood or MDF Shutters?

One of the first decisions you will need to make about your perfect shutters will be the material you’d like to use. The Shutter Studio offers five different materials, including four different wooden options. This can get overwhelming fast, especially when starting your shutter journey. MDF shutters will always work out to be the most cost-effective, but this isn’t always the best choice.

What is MDF?

Medium Density Fibreboard (MDF) is a man-made wood. Various timbres get broken down into fibres which are then compressed and sealed. The resulting timbre isn’t much to look at, which is why unpainted MDF products are very rare. MDF is a very versatile material as it’s cheap, sturdy and quick to work with. MDF shutters are very hardwearing, and a great option if you have small children or pets. On top of that, it is less prone to water damage – although MDF will always be splash-proof rather than waterproof. Once manufacturing is complete, our MDF shutters are then coated with a resin sheet. This provides a smooth finish to the shutter and provides the paint finish. The application of the sheet doesn’t leave a visible join, but does create a slight ripple on the finish. It’s difficult to see if you’re not looking for it so it’s not usually a concern for customers. This may become a problem if the shutter scratches or chips, as the coating is difficult to replicate. The other problem with MDF is its weight. The dense fibres and compression means MDF is almost twice as heavy as hardwood. If your window is wide, or you’re concerned about warping, we wouldn’t recommend an MDF shutter.

What is Basswood?

Also known as Tilia or Linden, Basswood is the original shutter material. A real hardwood and fantastic to work with, a basswood shutter is rarely problematic. Much lighter than MDF and only a little less hardwearing, it is also more expensive. Basswood has a smooth finish which means we can offer it in a wider range of colours with an even, sprayed finish. If any damage occurs to the shutter we can sand the scratch out and re-spray the area, unlike MDF.

Which shutter material would suit me?

When it comes to choosing the perfect material for your home, much of the choice comes down to preference. If your window requires a certain material, your surveyor will let you know. If your concern is children, damp conditions or saving money, poplar would be the usual choice. For a long-lasting shutter that’s unlikely to cause you problems, go for Basswood. And if you’re looking for a more wooden look to your shutter, or want a stained finish, Monterey Pine is a good choice. Your choice of material won’t limit your other options. Aside from the range of colours available, you remain free to customise parts of your order. From the louvre size to the hinge colour it’s easy to add extra touches that bring the shutter into your own style.

SEVENTH CHORDS

A SEVENTH CHORD is the next most-complex chord after a TRIAD. It has four notes instead of three and adds the 7th scale degree to the top of a triad - which is where it draws its name (1 3 5 7). Because there are four notes in the chord, it has many more quality types than triads depending on what scale degrees are altered. For the sake of Theory II, we will only learn 6 qualities of seventh chords.

SEVENTH CHORDS IN CONTEXT …
