Frequently Asked Questions
Are plantation shutters good for coastal homes?
Yes – plantation shutters are a great option for coastal homes, including those in the Illawarra region. Materials like PVC or composite are ideal in salty, humid conditions, as they won’t warp or deteriorate like untreated timber might. These shutters are moisture-resistant and easy to clean, making them suitable for kitchens, bathrooms and beachfront properties. Their tight-fitting design also improves insulation and light control, helping manage glare and heat common in coastal areas. Choose a UV-stable finish for long-lasting colour and durability.
Can plantation shutters be fitted to sliding doors?
Yes – plantation shutters can be custom-fitted to sliding doors using track systems that allow the panels to slide or fold neatly out of the way. In Illawarra homes, where open-plan living and outdoor access are common, sliding shutter systems are a practical and stylish solution. They provide excellent light control, privacy and airflow, while also adding a clean, built-in finish. Options include bi-fold and sliding panels that move smoothly along a track, making them ideal for high-traffic areas like patios and balconies.
What’s the difference between timber and PVC shutters?
Timber shutters are lightweight, stylish and offer a classic natural look. They’re ideal for dry indoor areas like bedrooms and lounge rooms. PVC shutters, on the other hand, are more durable in humid or wet conditions and are often used in bathrooms, laundries or coastal homes like those in Illawarra. PVC options are water-resistant, low-maintenance and typically more affordable, while timber adds warmth and texture. Both can be customised in colour and blade size – the best choice depends on your style, budget and where they’ll be installed.
