Ah, I imagine that sapele-textured /sapele colored aluminum shutters could be an option. I don't think that it is necessary to say "sapele wood appearance", as we know it is not real sapele, and it is aluminum, but to settle your mind have a look at links as you may glean other options from it, especially the 1st one I've posted in this section.

Thank you.
Note from asker:
Although as it is aluminium it must be of sapele "appearance". So I am guessing it is aluminium shutters of "sapele wood appearance"
