plantation shutters designed for outside
Live Comfortably.
Designed to suit the harsh Australian conditions, aluminium plantation shutters will add a touch of luxury to your outdoor area. These shutters not only enhance the aesthetics of your home but also provide excellent protection against harsh weather elements, making them an essential addition to any modern property. By incorporating outdoor blinds or external window shutters, you can further enhance your home’s energy efficiency and protection against heat and sunlight. For a timeless and classic look, many homeowners also consider wooden shutters as a complementary option for indoor spaces.
Aluminium louvres for outdoor openings
Aluminium Plantation Shutters, designed for outdoor areas, offer a more practical product option for outside the home, with a longer life. The all-aluminium construction, and heavy-duty stainless steel componentry, ensures these shutters are designed for outdoor use, with performance and service life depending on the installation, exposure and care. Designed to be both visually elegant and stylish, outdoor Aluminium Plantation Shutters are built to last! Roller shutters are a different product. See roller shutters if you want a rolling slat rather than a louvre.
External Plantation Shutters Look Great from the Outside and the Inside
Outdoor Aluminium Plantation Shutters are designed to suit the majority of hinged applications and are ideal for use in external applications. The shutters are installed with a narrow, streamlined 50mm side stile, which helps provide soft, elegant lines and complements the inner style of homes. With a wide range of framing and colour options, including silk non-gloss whites, homeowners are sure to achieve the look they’re after.
The Aluminium Plantation Shutter range is for both external and heavy-duty internal use and has been designed for larger openings and enclosures, or where there is a need for tracked bi-folding, sliding or fixed screen applications. With strong wind and weather resistance built into the design, Outdoor Plantation Shutters are also available with a choice of locking systems to help secure outdoor areas. Ask the consultant to confirm the mounting and locking options for the selected aluminium louvred system.
Upscale the Exterior of your Home with External Plantation Shutters
These shutters look stunning outdoors, as all plantation shutters do, but the Classic range stands out as the product we would put in our own homes. From a few metres away you couldn’t tell it was aluminium, with a soft paint finish designed to mimic the look of a Timber Shutter, but with the strength and durability of an aluminium product. These will stand up to the rigours of young children and high-traffic areas and provide years of hassle-free life. Compare the louvre and finish options in the showroom to select the appearance and operation for your space.
What's New In Plantation shutters
What's New
Previously, Aluminium shutters had a gloss powder coat finish, which often looked inappropriate for an internal shutter. The specially designed silk paint finish on the Classic range is perfect for indoors. Additionally, modern shutters now come with advanced features like remote control systems and customisable designs to suit different types of homes. These innovations make them a great investment for Australian homeowners. Fixed louvres are another innovation, offering excellent airflow and light control while maintaining privacy. See our indoor plantation shutters for louvres fitted inside the home.
What's Popular
External Aluminium Shutters provide a great option for outdoor living areas instead of a Ziptrak or Zipscreen Blinds. Weather suitability depends on the selected model and installation. If enclosing a barbecue area, have a licensed gas fitter confirm the ventilation requirements before use. Outdoor shutters, including fixed louvres and sliding systems, offer a blend of practicality and style. They help maintain privacy while allowing natural light to filter through, enhancing the comfort of any outdoor space.
What Colours
Aluminium Plantation Shutters are available in a wide range of colours to suit every style. With white being the most common colour for outdoor areas, Aluminium Plantation Shutters can be colour matched to most standard household paint colours. The variety of colours and finishes ensures that homeowners can find the perfect match for their home’s aesthetic, whether modern or traditional. The ability to customise the finish ensures that these shutters complement both contemporary and classic designs, making them a versatile window treatment.

Do plantation shutters keep out the cold?
Plantation Shutters are an economic and beautiful insulator from the heat and cold. Shutters help to keep your home a comfortable temperature all year round, which means less need for heating and cooling, which can help with running costs depending on the window, the fit and how the room is used.
Are plantation shutters a blockout?
While Plantation Shutters will block out the majority of light entering a room, they are considered a “room darkening” product rather than full block out. This is because some light may still filter through the blades, even when they are closed.
What colours are aluminium plantation shutters available in?
Aluminium Plantation Shutters are available in a wide range of colours to suit every style. For a custom colour, Aluminium Plantation Shutters can be colour matched to most standard household paint colours. The available coating and colour options depend on the aluminium shutter range; confirm the finish specification and care instructions with your quote.
Can plantation shutters be installed on unique shaped windows?
Yes. Plantation Shutters can be manufactured to almost any window shape. This includes triangles, circles, arches, half circles and raked windows.
What are the maximum dimensions of a plantation shutter?
Plantation Shutters can be manufactured to suit almost any space. However for larger areas, more panels and support systems will be required.
How do I clean my plantation shutters?
Plantation Shutters are easy to clean and maintain. Simply wipe over with a clean, dry microfibre cloth. For any stubborn spots or marks, use a microfibre cloth dampened with warm water. Add a small amount of mild detergent to the warm water if necessary.
What size blades are available for aluminium plantation shutters?
There are 3 blade size options for Aluminium Plantation Shutters. Elliptical blades in 60mm, 90mm and 115mm. Elliptical blades are an oval shape and are the most common choice for Plantation Shutters, with the size of the blade being determined by the size of the window. Smaller blades are used in smaller spaces and larger blades are used in larger spaces for a more modern look.
