Our Ballarat customers are blessed with so many choices for window coverings, including blinds, awnings shutters, curtains and sheers. Our Ballarat climate is beginning to become warmer heading into spring, so a great way to protect your furnishings and keep your home and office cooler, is by installing window coverings and one of our popular styles is Timber Shutters.

What are Timber Shutters?

Timber shutters are also called Plantation Shutters and are a solid and stable covering consisting of horizontal rails/slats mounted in a window, or door frame. These horizontal shutters can be controlled to be closed altogether such as “fixed shutters”, or there are other options including “sliding shutters” that move across the frame, or a bi-fold style that open out like doors. 

Advantages of Timber Shutters

Our Ballarat home owners and business owners choose timber shutters because they want to add character, charm and elegance to their home or office. Regardless if you have a period style home, or modern contemporary building, our Davidson’s Timber Shutters come in a range of style and colours to suit any room.

1. Many Options Available – As mentioned our timber shutters come in a range of options including a fixed style, hinged style, sliding style, or bi-fold style. We also have a wide choice of colours to choose from, although our natural wood style and white timber shutters are definitely two of our most popular. If you are wanting timber shutters but are using in a wet area, then we also have synthetic wood style shutter options available, which are easily cleaned and more suitable for bathrooms for example.
2. Easy Maintenance – Timber shutters require a small amount of maintenance. You can clean the slats with a duster or cloth, but the bonus is that they have dust resistant finishes which deters them from getting dirty.
3. Energy Efficiency – Coming into warmer weather, the sun’s harsh rays can enter your home or office and make them too hot. Timber shutter slats can be tilted or closed to reduce the light entering, which allows your room to be kept cooler. Reducing the sunlight also protects your furnishings from fading, which also saves money.
4. Adds Value – Timber shutters have a beautiful wood grain finish which can add style and beauty to any room. They definitely improve the look of your home for any potential buyers, but also add a professionalism to your business, which is perfect for attracting new clients.
5. Privacy – Timber shutters can be fully opened, fully closed or tilted at any angle to block out anyone from looking into your home or into a private business meeting. Timber shutters can also be used in bathroom and bedroom areas to give more privacy in your home.
