Looking for a reliable and stylish way to secure your home? Apollo’s range of modern shutters has got you covered.
APT Smartwood® Shutters
APT, Automated Paint Technology is a Smartwood PVC Polymer Shutter that uses an automated painting process to provide a quality, consistent, smooth and defect free paint finish. Each component is individually painted, thermally dried and then wrapped in a protective film for added protection during the assembly process. The Acrylic paint has UV inhibitors added to protect your shutters from the harsh Australian sun. APT offers the most popular choices, and combining notched blades to attach the clearview tiltrod, makes APT real value for money.
