The perfect window dressing

Plantation Shutters in Australia have been a popular choice for our window coverings for decades. This is due to their design being ideal for our climate and needs as they are allergy-free, easy to clean and offer excellent airflow. Additionally, they provide complete privacy and light control, making Plantation Shutters the most versatile method of window dressing available while remaining aesthetically pleasing in the home. There is no need to worry about dusty curtains causing allergy flare-ups or mould build up on your privacy screens in wet room areas. Being constructed out of PVC means a simple wipe with a damp cloth will keep your shutters in prime condition and your internal air quality at its best.

Let the breeze in and keep prying eyes out 

One of the main benefits of Plantation Shutters is the ability to allow airflow without opening views of your private life to anyone who happens to be passing by. Enjoy the privacy of your own home without heavy curtains blocking airflow or daylight. You can also angle the slats to allow that nighttime breeze to filter through while maintaining privacy within a fully lit room. They truly are the perfect solution to save money on window furnishings while being energy efficient. And with the optimum privacy they offer, there is no question about Plantation Shutters being the supreme choice in window dressing.

Complete your home décor

If you prefer the aesthetic of curtains, these can easily be fitted over Plantation Shutters as an additional layer of décor. The shutters sit streamlined to the wall, so a set of curtains can easily be drawn across if you choose. In some circumstances, curtains may block the efficiency of airflow, so be sure to make your choice wisely. While some people may prefer the feel of drawing curtains, you could add decorative side drapes and pelmets as an alternative to achieve a classic window look. 

When Plantation Shutters are fully closed, they also offer insulation benefits that help to keep your heating or cooling costs down, so curtains are also not necessary. Ultimately, the choice is yours as to how you wish to present and style your home. We recommend not covering your Plantation Shutters so that you can reap the full energy-saving benefits and optimum airflow in your home. As a stylish window dressing, there is no need to cover your shutters at all. Our shutters are available in an 89mm elliptical blade with a hinged format in a choice of 3 neutral white/off white colours.

Imported versus Australian made

If you are searching for low-cost, excellent quality Plantation Shutters at approximately $125/sqm less than our Australian-made counterparts. In that case, you cannot go past our imported shutters when you buy Plantation Shutters online. We realise costs and quality alone are not defining factors. However, these are the perfect money-saving alternative for those who don’t mind waiting for the 6-8 weeks lead time. While a little more expensive, our Australian Custom Made Plantation Shutters can be ready for delivery with a 10 day lead time. Both versions of shutters are of the highest quality, with smooth and clean finishes. So whether you choose to purchase our Imported Plantation Shutters or select our Australian-made Plantation Shutters will depend on your budget and any time constraints you may have.

FAQs

What are plantation shutters? 

Often used in warmer climates or to give a home an interesting aesthetic, plantation shutters are popular window coverings in Australia. They are made from wide slats of wood or PVC that can be adjusted to control the amount of light and air entering the room at any given point. Plantation shutters can add beauty, appeal and value to your space while providing multiple benefits over other types of window treatments. 

What is the difference between Venetian blinds and plantation shutters?

Venetian blinds are horizontal slats made from wood or metal, suspended on ladder cords. Their design makes it optimal to adjust the amount of light that enters the room, and they are easy to raise and lower. While they offer some protection, shutters are far more durable and built to last for the long term, making them a valuable asset to your home. While blinds can last around four to five years, plantation shutters can last 25 years or more with the proper care.

Plantation shutters also have significantly wider slats to adjust to filter the amount of light and air entering the room. Plantation shutters are also available in far more materials, including wood, vinyl, or composite, and come in various styles and colours to match all kinds of décor. When choosing between Venetian blinds and plantation shutters, you must consider the climate you live in, the style of your home, and your budget.

What are the advantages of plantation shutters?

During the warmer months, plantation shutters can help keep your home cooler by blocking direct sunlight while letting fresh air in on a nice day if you open the window. Plantation shutters can also help in reducing exterior noise. What’s more, this sturdy design can offer more privacy compared to many curtains and blinds as they are entirely blockout. Plantation shutters are most popular in white or cream as they complement most interiors. Blinds On The Net offers easy-to-follow step-by-step installation guides and videos to ensure installation is easy. 

Do plantation shutters have a classic look? 

Yes! With a timeless appeal, plantation shutters add a sleek and modern aesthetic to any interior setting. They are a classic window covering option for spaces with a modern yet heritage-inspired look. Plantation shutters blend seamlessly with all interior decor styles, making a statement regardless of where they’re installed.

How much do plantation shutters cost? 

The cost of plantation shutters varies depending on the material, colour and size you select. At Blinds On The Net, our imported PVC plantation shutters start from $52, and our Australian custom-made PVC shutters start from $69. We also offer a range of timber plantation shutters starting at $375.
