What are Plantation Shutters?

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

Timber Plantation Shutters

Plantation Shutters made from timber can be an added beautiful design feature in your home. Available in natural timber, or painted in a range of colours, they can add style to any room. Timber plantation shutters also have many benefits including being sturdy and durable and have added insulation properties to keep your home cooler in summer and warmer in winter. Timber shutters can fit most windows and are highly suited to office spaces, living rooms, dining rooms and bedrooms where they block out light, provide adequate privacy and bring elegance to every space.

Synthetic Plantation Shutters

Synthetic plantation shutters also known as aluminium shutters and PVC shutters, are preferred window treatments in wet areas including the laundry, bathroom and kitchen. Synthetic shutters are ideal to be in rooms where they experience high moisture, as they are easy to clean and maintain and will not be impacted, whereas timber shutters can stain and warp when exposed to water.

PVC plantation shutters are more affordable than timber plantation shutters and are available in more colour options. Many customers choose synthetic plantation shutters for their affordability and practicality, but if you are wanting to make a statement, then you can’t go past our timber plantation shutters for their high quality appearance and natural properties.

So should you put Plantation Shutters on all windows?

Yes you absolutely can. The quality and colour choices of our timber and synthetic shutters means that we have the right window covering for all your windows. We can come to your home or office to measure your windows and suggest the best style and colour to suit each room, meeting your individual taste and budget.

The only golden rule to choosing shutters is to use the same style and colour shutter for every window in that room. For example if you have three windows in your living room, then all shutters should be the same on all three windows. This allows for simplicity, style and an overall aesthetic look and feel to provide the room with sophistication.
