Shutters that stand up to our summers
Plantation shutters have a certain nostalgia about them. Some people imagine a summer scene in a country home, with charming wooden shutters billowing softly in the breeze.
In reality, most people in Western Australia buy aluminium plantation shutters for the exact opposite reason. Our customers want shutters because they’re stiff and strong, and don’t flap about in our summer trade winds like the cheaper alternative of blinds.
The mention of aluminium can make that image feel colder, but you’d be surprised how good aluminium is for plantation shutters. There’s nothing cold or uninviting about it. Quite the opposite, in fact.
Outdoor shutters
The best choice for your alfresco
Aluminium plantation shutters are the best choice for enclosing or shielding your alfresco area from the wind and afternoon sun. They offer light control like no other outdoor blind can, with no flapping or vibrating in strong winds and storms.
Our aluminium shutters come in 4 colours, so you can bring as much vibrancy as you like, and in a range of styles, frames and layouts.
Bi-folding
Panels fold back on themselves to open up the space.
Tracked
Panels slide along a track, ideal for wide openings.
Hinged
Panels swing open on hinges, like a door.
Fixed
Panels stay in place while you tilt the louvres for light and air.

The material
What is aluminium?
Aluminium is a light, durable and functional metal. Those qualities make it one of the most vital engineering materials of the modern world. You’ll find it in our homes, the cars we drive, the trains and planes we travel on, the phones we use every day and much more.
It’s a silver-white metal and, perhaps surprisingly, the most widespread metal on earth.
