Plantation Shutters
Plantation Bay’s interior shutters are made from 100% hardwood timber, sourced from sustainable forestry. Our hardwood timber shutters are far more durable than veneered wood and composite shutters, which are made from compressed and glued mixtures of varying wood grades and plastics.
The quality wood used to make Plantation Bay's shutters ensures that they are light and strong, making it possible to have panel widths of up to 1.2 metres, which is up to twice the width of some other brands. This can allow you to have one shutter in a window instead of two, making for even greater views. Additionally, we offer a range of frame and architrave options with a choice of three blade (louvre) widths: 64mm, 89mm and 114mm, to cater for tradtional to modern appearances.
Energy efficiency is an added benefit of having shutters because 25% to 50% of energy can be lost through windows when heating or cooling a home. Plantation Bay’s shutters give UV protection and reflect heat in the summer, in addition to insulating against the cold in winter. For a high-grade finish, quality two-pack polyurethane paint is used. Plantation Bay’s timber shutters have a 5-year paint and 15-year structural warranty.
A variety of installation options for all of Plantation Bay’s shutters are available, including:
- Hinged panels
- Fixed panels
- Sliding panels
- Multi-fold (Bi-fold)
- Panel widths up to 1.2 metres

Advantages of Choosing Shutters
Shutters are an ideal choice when you’re looking for optimum control over light and privacy.
The advantage of shutters compared to other window coverings is the ability to open and close separate blade (louvre) sections in each shutter panel. For example, the top half of shutters can be opened to let light through, while the bottom half remains closed.
Alternatively the top half can be closed for privacy from neighbours etc. while the bottom half stays open. If shutter panels are tall enough, it is possible to have three independent blade (louvre) sections; top, middle and bottom, for even greater control.
