Does anyone know where you can buy wooden door shutters in the Split/Sibenik area? If so do you know if you also have to buy the door or can you purchase the shutters as a stand-alone item?
Many thanks for any assistance.

there are two types: the louvre kind and the solid wood, traditional type, called skura (spelling?)
Skura are made to measure and we got them from a company in Istria. If I could do it again, i might have looked at Bosnia instead. In Croatia, it is all about the cost of the wood which is much more than anywhere else in europe, even allowing for import costs etc.
Actually, if I were doing another renovation, i'd not bother with the shutters at all, use UPVC double glazed windows and hung up some curtains. Those skura were always a pain the next to shut on cold nights when the bura was blowing. Good for keeping out the sunlight on summer mornings though!

Hi I got new windows and shutters recently from a company based in Split. The shutters are not wood although they look like they are. I had to wait some months after I placed the order but they look great. I will try and find out the name of the company for you.

Don't go for wood, unless you are prepared to paint them often. With the wooden ones you have to make sure they are of good quality which can take the changes in temperature. Woodworm can also be a problem.
