Plantation shutters Adelaide are one of the best window coverings on the market. They add a beautiful look to your home while improving its value. They come in a variety of styles to suit any interior design style.
They also provide several other benefits to improve your home’s resale value. Some of these include:
Light Control
A beautiful aspect of plantation shutters is the control they offer over light. The slats can be opened to let sunlight flood your living spaces, closed to block out harsh sun glare or even tilted to create that cinematic feel when watching TV.
They’re also a great way to control heat and cold in your home. When the sun is blazing outside, they keep your rooms cool, and when winter comes around, they can be opened to allow warm air in.
Unlike other window furnishing, plantation shutters combine style and functionality to deliver an appealing aesthetic that offers practical benefits. They can increase the value of your home, add a touch of class and elegance, and are easy to maintain.
Plantation Shutters are designed with four main components – stiles, tilt rods, louvres and rails. The rails are horizontal pieces at the top and bottom of each shutter panel, the louvres are the movable slats, and the stiles run vertically, holding the louvres in place. Each shutter panel is then hinged to another and can be opened or closed to your liking.
The beauty of timber shutters is that they are made from natural materials and will change colour over time to age with the environment. They can be sanded, painted or stained to suit the room or left untreated and oiled for a more rustic finish. This is a cost-effective alternative to vinyl, with a similar look, and meets Australia’s VOC standard levels for health and safety.
GB Plastics & Blinds manufactures and installs timber, PVC and aluminium outdoor plantation shutters built to last in the harsh Australian climate. They are available in various sizes, colours and finishes to suit your needs and can be custom designed to fit almost any shape or size of the opening.
Our ‘Entice’ shutter is an entry-level timber/PVC hybrid plantation shutters that combines the best of both worlds with a timber core and solid PVC louvres for rigidity, strength, durability, a waterproof finish and a stylish appearance. Our ‘Drift’ shutter is inspired by driftwood that would be found on the beach; this stunning timber/PVC hybrid is available in a range of colours and stain options.
Privacy
When making permanent changes in your home that add value, plantation shutters are the perfect solution. They look beautiful, fit in with most home styles and are a tough fixture that won’t detract from the overall appearance when it’s time to sell. They also give you privacy because you can control the light and visibility outside your window. You can also close the slats to block out any prying eyes from your neighbours or passersby.
Plantation shutters Adelaide are also very easy to maintain as they’re dust and dirt resistant. This makes them ideal for asthma or allergy sufferers, who can easily wipe them down to keep them clean and free from any built-up marks. The slats also have an aluminium core, meaning they’re waterproof and can withstand harsh weather conditions. They won’t rust, warp or twist and can be custom painted to suit your décor.
We offer internal and external Adelaide plantation shutters made right here in SA from quality materials. Our interior shutters are available in either Paulownia or sturdier PVC. Both are engineered to withstand up to 100kg load on the blades and prevent them from being blown open by strong winds or a heavy downpour. They can be fitted with optional security blade locks and are insulated to help lower your power bills in summer and winter.
Full-height plantation shutters are an elegant and stylish option for your home. They’re an excellent fit for most modern and traditional South Australian homes. The slats can be tilted to let in a reasonable amount of light and create a sense of openness. When closed, they can provide complete privacy from onlookers, insulating your rooms and reducing the amount of light and glare that can cause damage to furniture.
Our external shutters are popular with homeowners and business owners because they’re durable and can withstand the elements. They can be made to order in a wide range of colours to complement the exterior of your property and can be installed as hinged, bi-fold or sliding panels. They’re an excellent alternative to roller blinds and a great fit for garage doors, warehouses and shopfront windows.
Sound Control
A feature many people love about plantation shutters is the ability to control the amount of light entering a room. With the movement of a single slat, you can let in plenty of natural light or close them to cut down on unwanted glare. This makes them perfect for bedrooms, bathrooms and living rooms. They also help lower your energy bill and keep your home cooler in summer without sacrificing comfort.
