Light Control

One of the amazing and standout features of plantation shutters is their ability to control natural light. With the simple movement of a slat, you can open or close your shutters to create the ideal level of light and privacy in your home. This feature is handy in rooms that significantly require a lot of natural light, such as bathrooms, bedrooms, and living areas.

Unlike curtains and blinds that must be regularly cleaned to keep them looking their best, plantation shutters are remarkably easy to maintain. A quick and effortless wipe-down with a damp cloth is often enough to remove any built-up dirt or marks from your shutters.

Plantation shutters are available in a wide range of timbers, including Basswood, which is hard-wearing and has a medium density that makes it easy to cut. However, timber is becoming more challenging to source, so many manufacturers are switching to Paulownia Timber, which has a lower density but still offers premium quality. They can be painted in any colour and are available in 64mm or 89mm slats.

Energy Efficiency

Unlike some traditional window coverings, plantation shutters are also completely cordless, which is suitable for safety in the home. This feature is particularly beneficial for families with young children, as it eliminates the risk of accidental strangulation.

Our timber shutters are made from recycled poplar and are incredibly durable and resistant to humidity and moist weather.

Privacy

Unlike blinds, often exposed to the outside world, plantation shutters offer precise control over light and privacy. With the movement of a single slat, you can open them thoroughly and let sunlight flood in or close them to block out excessive light or glare.

Timber shutters are made from high-density poplar timber that can be stained or painted in your choice of colour.

Our timber plantation shutters are also available with hidden tilt rods installed on either the back or side of each slat for a modern, minimalist look and increased safety and security.
