Want shutters in a humid room?
Bathrooms and kitchens punish ordinary timber: steam, condensation, and temperature swings can warp panels and spoil the finish. Many homeowners end up looking at blinds as the only “safe” option — and lose the shutter look they actually wanted.
Tonga™ is S.CRAFT’s moisture-resistant PVC range with a premium PU painted finish. We specify it when you want proper shutters in wet or humid rooms — made to measure, then fitted by our Yorkshire team after a free home visit.

Why Tonga
The right range for the job
Quick decision points before colour and louvre size — so you land on the range that matches the room, not a brochure default:
- Vs timber in steamy rooms Timber can warp, swell, or crack where steam and temperature swings are daily. Tonga’s engineered PVC stays stable and wipe-clean in kitchens and bathrooms.
- Vs Antigua (living rooms) Antigua is our premium wood-composite range for dry living rooms, bedrooms, and street-facing bays. Tonga is the better starting point when humidity is the problem.
- Vs blinds as a “wet room” fix We don’t lead with blinds for bathroom or kitchen privacy. Tonga lets you keep real shutters — light control, privacy, and a finished look — in humid rooms.
- PU painted, made to measure A sealed polyurethane paint finish resists knocks and cleaning products. Every set is sized to your reveals, then fitted by our Yorkshire team.
Dry living rooms and classic bays? Start with Antigua shutters. Browse all configurations in the shutter styles archive.
Where Tonga suits
Rooms we specify it for
If humidity, steam, or wipe-clean care is part of how you use the room, Tonga is usually the first conversation — not blinds.
- Bathrooms Steam, condensation, and wipe-down surfaces — Tonga is specified for humid bathrooms where timber is a risk.
- Kitchens Cooking moisture, splash zones, and everyday cleaning. Café or full-height layouts keep privacy without a fabric blind.
- Utility & en-suites Compact wet rooms and en-suites that still want shutter privacy and a painted finish that holds up.
- Coastal & humid homes Homes with higher ambient moisture or coastal air benefit from PVC panels that won’t move like untreated timber.

Tonga shutters FAQ
Are Tonga shutters waterproof?
Tonga is our moisture-resistant PVC range for kitchens, bathrooms, and humid rooms. Panels and frames will not warp, swell, or crack like untreated timber. For the wettest rooms we can also advise on fully waterproof ABS options such as Java on your free home visit.
Can I have shutters in a bathroom or kitchen?
Yes — that’s the main reason we specify Tonga. Engineered PVC with a PU painted finish is built for steam, condensation, and wipe-clean care, so you don’t have to default to blinds in humid rooms.
How do Tonga shutters compare to Antigua?
Antigua is our premium engineered wood composite range for living rooms, bedrooms, and street-facing bays. Tonga is the better starting point when the room is humid — kitchens, bathrooms, and similar spaces — because the PVC construction is built for moisture.
What are Tonga shutters made of?
Tonga™ shutters are manufactured from high-quality engineered PVC panels and frames, finished with a premium polyurethane (PU) paint system for moisture resistance, dimensional stability, and a smooth painted look.
Which louvre sizes and colours are available?
Tonga uses elliptical PVC louvres in 63mm, 76mm, and 89mm, with ten curated painted colours (Pure White through Clay) plus custom colours on request. We bring samples on your free home visit.
Do you supply and install Tonga shutters across Yorkshire?
Yes. ShutterLuxe measures, orders, and fits Tonga shutters across Leeds, Harrogate, York, Wakefield, Bradford, Huddersfield, Doncaster, and the wider Yorkshire area.
