What is PVC?
Faux wood, poly, composite or PVC?
You’ll see shutters sold as faux wood, poly, composite and PVC. Truth be told, they’re all the same material, just named so it doesn’t sound like plastic. An apple is an apple.
PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is one of the world’s most widely produced synthetic materials and an affordable alternative to natural timber or aluminium. Here at Perth’s Boutique Plantation Shutters, we love our PVC shutters. With such great moisture resistance, PVC is perfect for kitchens and bathrooms where there tends to be more moisture in the air.

Yes. PVC plantation shutters can be customised to fit a wide variety of window shapes and sizes. We measure your windows accurately and have your shutters made to your exact requirements.
Are PVC shutters suitable for indoor and outdoor use?
PVC shutters can be used on exterior windows, but they’re far better suited to internal use. Here are 10 reasons why we believe PVC is perfect for internal windows. For outside, we recommend aluminium.

Yes. They’re highly durable, easy to clean and have no dangling cords or strings that could be a safety hazard.
Can PVC shutters help reduce noise?
They can reduce outside noise to a certain extent when closed. For significant soundproofing you may need specialised noise-reduction materials.
How long do PVC plantation shutters last?
With their durability, water resistance and easy maintenance, PVC shutters can easily last 50+ years, even a lifetime. The exact lifespan depends on the product quality, the installation, sun exposure and how well they’re cared for.
How much do PVC plantation shutters cost?
Costs vary with the supplier, product quality, design, project size and whether they’re professionally installed. In Australia, PVC shutters typically cost between $350 and $550 per square metre. Contact us for an accurate quote.
