Both roll up smooth and silent on the same interlocking track — but the panel material changes how your kitchen looks and behaves day to day. Here's how to decide.
The mechanism is identical, the finish isn't
Every SATORI rolling shutter — PVC, glass or acrylic — runs on the same self-locking, interlocking-strip track and powder-coated aluminium frame. So the decision isn't about mechanism quality, it's purely about what kind of finish suits the cabinet.
PVC: built for hard daily use
PVC tambour shutters come in seven finishes, from matte black to moca brown, and are the more forgiving option around daily wear — fingerprints, splashes and knocks show up less than they would on a glass panel. They're the practical default for a working kitchen.
Glass: a showcase finish
Frosted or clear glass shutters turn a cabinet into a display case, which works well for crockery, glassware or anything you'd want visible rather than hidden. The trade-off is that glass shows fingerprints and needs a quick wipe-down more often than PVC.
Acrylic: a middle ground
Acrylic shutters offer a similar showcase feel to glass with a slightly warmer, softer sheen, and come in a wider finish range including moca brown and dark gray — a good option if you want the display effect without the glass maintenance.
Matching cabinet width
PVC shutters are available across 450mm, 600mm and 900mm cabinet widths in both 16mm and 25mm strip options, while glass and acrylic are currently offered in 450mm and 600mm. Wider single-cabinet runs will usually default to PVC for that reason.
