ALUMINIUM Vs PVC

Aluminium shutters are durable, stylish, and suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Known for their ability to withstand high temperatures and span wider openings than PVC or timber, they’re ideal for large glass windows, sliding doors, and spaces where an uninterrupted view is essential.

Finished with a powder-coated satin surface, they offer the elegant look of painted timber but with superior resilience.

PVC shutters are moisture-resistant, making them perfect for bathrooms, kitchens, laundries, and other high-humidity areas. Engineered to handle Australia’s harsh climate, they combine durability with a classic plantation look.

With excellent thermal resistance, they’re ideal for homes in warmer regions, offering both style and practicality.

Shutter Construction

Louvre Size - Our plantation shutters come in 64 mm, 89 mm and 114 mm size louvres.

Tilt Rod - Most tilt rods are hidden or have a clear-view. The metal tilt rod is located at the back of each panel on the same side as the hinge.

Split Tilt - Louvre rotations are split into multiple rotations, or tilts, giving you better closure, greater light control and privacy. Panels over 1000 mm in height will be manufactured with a split tilt by default, or you can specify your preferred split tilt location.

Mid Rail - It’s a horizontal rail used to strengthen tall panels or accommodate mullions that may impede rotation of louvres. A mid-rail is required for panels greater than 1600 mm in height. A second mid-rail is required for heights greater than 2400 mm.


Shutter Panel Mounting Style

Hinged Panels - Hinged panels are the most popular choice for shutters. The shutters are within a frame and installed inside the window or on the face of the window frame. The panel could be hinged directly to the window frame as well using hanging strips. Wider windows are broken into multiple panel layouts using T posts.

Bifold Hinged Panels - This is commonly used in smaller windows where clearance is required over kitchen or bathroom taps. Two panels are hinged together to bifold in the window without the use of a top or bottom track. Due to the weight of the two panels, a maximum of two panels can be hinged together with a restriction to the panel width.

Fixed Panels - Panels can be fixed into place to accommodate taps or household fixtures that may impede the use of hinged panels. It can also be used between rooms as a divider.

These panels will be installed with top and bottom U channels, and magnet fixing allowing for easy removal of panels while providing light control from both sides of the panels.

Track Bifold Panels - Multiple panels are hinged together and connected to a top and bottom tracking system using wheel carriers and bottom guides. Tracks are attached to the headboard and a fascia is supplied to cover and conceal tracking and hardware.

Track Bypass Panels - Sliding panels are connected to a top and bottom track using wheel carriers and bottom guides. This is an ideal layout for doorways. Tracks are attached to the headboard and a fascia is supplied to cover and conceal tracking and hardware.

Hinged Panel Frame Options

There are several frame choices available depending on your window condition and installation preference.
Frames can be mounted inside the recess (recess fit) or on the outside (face fit) of the window.

Panels may also be mounted directly into the recess using hang strips, though this may highlight imperfections if the window is uneven.
In such cases, frames are ideal for hiding gaps and squareness issues, offering a clean finish.


🔹 Installation Options

  • Recess Fit: Frame sits inside the window cavity for a streamlined look
  • Face Fit: Frame is mounted on the outer surface of the window for broader coverage
  • Hang Strips: Panels mounted directly to the recess; best for clean, even openings
  • Framed Installations: Best for uneven windows or when hiding imperfections
