The main advantage of Plantation Shutters
is that they are virtually maintenance free, and when privacy and light
control are top of the list shutters can't be beaten. It's so easy to
just tilt the louver's slightly, still allowing sufficient light into your
room but also keeping nosey neighbours at bay.
All our shutters are craftsman made to your individual
requirements, window widths are made up from a number of panels hinged
together to enable them to fold back. The louvers within each panel
can be controlled by a central rod or a rear hidden tilt rod to offer an excellent degree of light
control .
The shutters can be manufactured from a
wide variety of woods ranging from Basswood, Western Red Cedar, Poplar and
engineered timber (Low Density Fibreboard). With a full range of
louver slat sizes: 47mm, 64mm, 89mm and 114mm available.
The shutters are available in an array of stained and
painted finishes, with a range of fittings in brass, chrome or stainless
steel offered to
compliment the panels.
Automated light control
Available now, as an optional specification on our hardwood full height and
arched shutters, the remote control feature adds panache and provides
automated light control. Precise alignment of multiple panels at the touch
of a button is a breeze and brings previously out of reach windows under
your control. Wireless, smooth and quiet, this revolutionary development
enhances the functionality of your ShutterCraft shutters.

What about the style, how will wooden shutters look in your
home. Window Shutters are available in three main styles. First there are
full height window shutters. This is where your shutters are the full height
of the window from bottom to top. Next there is there are Cafe style
Window shutters, this is where the shutters normally cover just the bottom
half of the window. And then there are Tier on Tier shutters, with this
style you have two sets of shutters one above the other. With this style you
can open the top shutters and the bottom shutters independently of each
other providing more flexibility of use.
