PLANTATION SHUTTERS
Plantation Shutters: Timeless Style & Superior Insulation
The gold standard in window furnishings. Add immediate value and sophistication to your home.
Plantation Shutters are more than just a window covering; they are a permanent architectural addition to your property. Widely recognized for their curb appeal and durability, shutters transform the look of a room from “finished” to “flawless.”
At Home Blinds, we supply and install premium custom-made shutters designed specifically for the harsh Australian climate. Whether you need moisture-resistant shutters for a bathroom or lightweight timber panels for a grand living room window, our range offers precise light control, privacy, and exceptional thermal efficiency.
Choose Your Material
We offer three distinct ranges to suit every room and budget:
-
PVC (Faux Wood) Shutters – The “Everyday” Hero Our most popular choice. Engineered from high-density, aerospace-grade polymer with an aluminium core for strength.
-
Best for: Wet areas like bathrooms, kitchens, and laundries.
-
Why: They are 100% water-resistant. They will never warp, crack, or peel, even in humid conditions.
-
Look: Finished in a premium paint that looks identical to real timber.
-
-
Premium Timber Shutters (Basswood/Paulownia) For the ultimate in luxury and natural beauty. Sourced from sustainable plantations, real timber is significantly lighter than PVC.
-
Best for: Large windows, sliding doors, and wide spans.
-
Why: The lighter weight allows for wider panels (fewer vertical posts), giving you a clearer view outside.
-
Look: Available in painted finishes or stunning natural timber stains to match your flooring.
-
-
Aluminium Shutters (Outdoor) Extend your living space outdoors.
-
Best for: Patios, balconies, and alfresco dining areas.
-
Why: Built to withstand rain, wind, and direct sun. They allow you to control the breeze and privacy of your outdoor entertaining area.

Key Benefits
Unbeatable Insulation: Shutters are one of the most energy-efficient window coverings available. When closed, they create a solid barrier that traps air against the window, keeping your home cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
Street Appeal & Resale Value: Real estate agents often list plantation shutters as a key selling feature. They look just as good from the outside of the house as they do from the inside.
Versatile Light Control: Unlike blinds (which are mostly Up or Down), shutters allow you to tilt the louvres (blades) to direct sunlight exactly where you want it, while maintaining privacy from the street.
Low Maintenance: No cords, no chains, and no washing machines required. Simply wipe them down with a damp cloth or a duster.
Configuration Options
Hinged: The standard option for single windows.
Bi-Fold: Perfect for sliding glass doors. The panels fold back against the wall, opening up the entire doorway.
Sliding: Panels slide on a track behind one another (great when you don’t have room for panels to fold out).
Special Shapes: We can custom manufacture shutters for arches, triangles, and round windows.
