Are plantation shutters popular on the Gold Coast?

Given the region's abundant sunshine and hot weather, plantation shutters are a good way of keeping out the heat and regulating the amount of light that enters the home.

Will plantation shutters increase the value of my home?

Premium quality timber, aluminium plantation shutters or PVC plantation shutters can be an attractive addition that may improve the look, privacy and security of your home. They may increase the value and appeal to potential buyers.

What is a fly-over patio?

This popular style sits above your roofline to add extra height across the patio area, and create a generous outdoor entertaining space. The raised roof allows natural light and cool air to flow through. Fixed louvres cover the brackets to give a streamlined finish and provide protection from heavy weather.

The bedrooms in our house face the street. What type of window furnishings will give me privacy without blocking light?

Vertical plantation shutters can be slanted for privacy, while allowing light to filter inside. Also consider double shutters, which feature a transparent layer and a blockout layer. Ask one of our experienced installers to show you our product range.

We are starting a family soon and want to choose safe window furnishings. What is the best solution?

Contemporary furnishings can be made with safety features such as tangle-free cords or retracting cords. Some shutters are also cord-free. We can advise the safest type of blind for your family home.
