Key Features

  • Plantation shutters feature adjustable louvers or slats that can be tilted to control the amount of light and privacy desired. Louvers can be either horizontal or vertical, depending on the type of shutter.

  • Plantation shutters are typically built with a sturdy frame that surrounds the louvers and provides structural support. The frame can be mounted on the inside or outside of the window frame, depending on the installation method and design preference.

  • Plantation shutters are commonly made of wood, such as basswood or cedar, due to their durability, stability, and natural beauty. However, other materials like PVC or composite wood are also available for those who want a more affordable or low-maintenance option.

  • Plantation shutters can be stained or painted to match or complement the existing décor of a room. They come in a wide variety of finishes, including natural wood tones, solid colors, and custom options to suit individual preferences.

  • Plantation shutters are known for their versatility in controlling light and privacy. The adjustable louvers allow for precise control of the amount of light entering a room, and they can be tilted to provide varying degrees of privacy. They can also be fully opened to allow for unobstructed views and airflow.

  • Plantation shutters can help with insulation, as they provide an additional layer of protection against heat and cold from outside, which can contribute to energy savings in heating and cooling costs.

  • Plantation shutters are relatively easy to clean and maintain. They can be wiped down with a damp cloth or dusted regularly to keep them looking clean and fresh.

  • Plantation shutters can be customised to fit a wide range of window sizes and shapes, including arches, circles, and specialty shapes. They can also be customised with various options, such as motorisation for remote control operation, hidden tilt rods for a clean look, or custom paint or stain finishes.

Process from Check & Measure to Installation

  • Measuring the space is the first step in the process that enables us to propose different solution options to you that would suit the space and of course align with your design idea. There are different measuring methods used by our team depending on the products selected by you.

  • The design step involves working with you to select and propose the right product and solution for the space. For example, in some spaces it would be better to use blinds with sheer curtains and in some spaces it would be better to use double curtains. The team sits with you to go through the options to make sure we get it right.

  • After the design is locked and the solution is agreed upon by you, we start the build phase where your selected option is manufactured to the measurement by our experts in the factory within the agreed timeframe.

  • The final step in the process is installation. Our team reaches out to you to book the installation date and time. Our team installs the selected option (curtains, blinds and/or shutters) to your satisfaction and we sign off on the job to make sure you are happy with the product and installation.
