Types of Plantation Shutters

Timber, PVC and Aluminium Plantation Shutters

Plantation shutters are available in several material options, each suited to different environments and design requirements. Timber and basswood shutters are popular for living areas and bedrooms, while PVC and aluminium options are preferred for high-humidity or high-sun locations. Material choice directly affects durability, appearance, and long-term performance.

Hinged, Bi-Fold and Sliding Plantation Shutters

Different opening configurations allow plantation shutters to suit a wide range of window and door layouts. Hinged shutters are the most common for standard windows, while bi-fold and sliding plantation shutters are ideal for large openings.

Proper panel design also ensures smooth operation and long-term reliability for everyday use.

Plantation Shutters

Plantation shutters are loved for their refined style and mechanical functionality.

Stan from inDesign Blinds was great to deal with. We love our new shutters and Roman blinds. The choice of fabrics was amazing and the quality is really good. The price was very competitive. I would really recommend, so much so we are wondering where else we could put blinds!

Elizabeth Harrison

Very happy with my skylight blinds on the laser light panels on my verandah roof. Great to have the light and sun in winter, but not summer. My North facing verandah was almost unusable in summer. Stan did a very professional job and was the only one I could find that would do this type of installation in Melbourne. I highly recommend him. The blinds made a huge difference in temperature on the verandah and no doubt the house will be much cooler in summer as well. The distance from his workshop was not a problem either. The turnaround was also as stated. Thanks Stan for a terrific job.

So happy with my beautiful textured blinds for my living room. As promised, has warmed up the room and minimised heater reliance. Material wasn’t available but Stan was still able to keep to the 4-5 week install timeframe after he ordered in new material and sped up the curtain making.

I am very pleased with my new roller blinds - they look luxurious and have elevated the look of the two rooms so much. I wish I had done this sooner as it was like an instant renovation and such quick turnaround from measure and quote through to installation. Stan is extremely knowledgeable and his recommendations were spot on, combined with professional and efficient service. Highly recommended and I’m definitely coming back here for my future blind and curtain requirements.
