Window Shutters for Light, Privacy & Everyday Use

Plantation shutters are made-to-measure window coverings with adjustable louvres. For interior shutters, compare PVC and timber; for external or alfresco openings, explore the outdoor aluminium range and confirm the installation layout.

  • Control light & privacy: Adjust blades to let the right amount of light in.
  • Improve comfort & insulation: They can help manage heat gain and improve everyday comfort.
  • Low maintenance: Easy to clean and built for practical long-term use.
  • DIY options: Available in Australian-made PVC kits or custom overseas builds.

Which Shutters Should I Choose?

Are the shutters going inside or outside?

For standard indoor windows, start with EasyKit aluminium-reinforced PVC for a substantial timber-like feel and wider-span support. Timber is another choice for protected interior rooms. Outdoor and alfresco openings use a separate aluminium range; indoor PVC and timber are not substitutes. Compare timber, outdoor aluminium and wide-opening options.

How much assembly do I want to do?

With EasyKit DIY, you assemble the panels and frame, then install the shutter. EasyShutter Pre-Assembled arrives assembled, but you still mount and secure it. Both paths need accurate measurements and suitable fixings. SmartKit offers a lightweight alternative with straightforward assembly. Compare the Australian-made DIY and pre-assembled range.

Will the window still open and be easy to reach?

Check the handle, lock, reveal depth and the space needed for both window and shutter movement before ordering. See the awning, double-hung and sliding window checks. For unusual openings, send photos and measurements for advice.

Plantation Shutters FAQ

What are plantation shutters?

Plantation shutters are made-to-measure window coverings with adjustable louvres for light and privacy. Choose a material and mounting layout suited to the opening: indoor PVC or timber, or an appropriate outdoor aluminium system.

Are DIY plantation shutters hard to install?

DIY installation requires accurate measuring, suitable fixings, drilling and careful alignment. EasyKit DIY requires panel and frame assembly before installation. EasyShutter Pre-Assembled arrives assembled for less on-site assembly, but you still mount and secure it. Follow the guide for your chosen frame or track system.

Which material should I choose for my plantation shutters?

Start with EasyKit aluminium-reinforced PVC for standard indoor windows, including suitable wet areas. Choose EasyShutter Pre-Assembled if you prefer less assembly, timber for protected interior rooms, or outdoor aluminium for suitable external and alfresco openings. Keep indoor PVC and timber separate from the outdoor range.

Can shutters fit awning, double-hung or sliding windows?

The window type alone does not confirm suitability. Check reveal depth, handle and lock access, window movement, louvre clearance and the space needed to open the shutter panels. Use the window-type checks in our measuring guide and request photo and measurement advice if the mounting position is unclear.

When should I request layout advice before ordering?

Request advice for shallow or uneven reveals, projecting handles, unusual sills, wide openings, tracks or outdoor installations. Send a full-opening photo, close-ups of handles and fixing surfaces, and dimensions in millimetres. Remote advice can flag visible issues but does not replace on-site measurement or assessment of the fixing structure.
