Effective Privacy screen

Effective Privacy screen

We have just finished a number of jobs where we have used Aluminium Plantation Shutters to create Privacy screens.

The first images show how useful Shutters can be around a spa – leave the louvres open for airflow, tilt for privacy or close to keep the weather out. This client had a custom colour – one of the colorbond colour.

 

 

This client wanted some privacy for her front door from the road. We have used one of our standard colours for Aluminium Plantation Shutters Satin White and closed off the entire opening – yet giving our client the flexibility of allowing light and airflow into her porch area

I have recently noticed a lot of Plantation Shutters on TV – appearing in the background of many commercials and TV dramas. The majority seem to have the central control bar. A control bar is required as the method to open and close the louvres. Just about all of the plantation shutters we make  here in Newcastle or supply would use a control bar to the side and rear of the panel or at the side and to the front. Most customers prefer this option as the panel has a cleaner look and there is less to obstruct the view.

One of our hard working staff members has recently replaced her ageing vertical blinds with Classic Plantation Shutters at her home in Newcastle. Chris likes to leave her windows open at night for fresh air, and as she and her husband were over the rattle of the vertical blinds, Chris chose aluminium plantation shutters. Plantation shutters are one of the few window coverings that remain silent in a breezy window, the aluminium is robust enough to cope with any ingress of the elements. Chris has also commented on the improved quality of light that now comes into her house. The dull fabric of the verticals seemed to absorb light whilst the painted shutters provides a soft light bounce. We always knew Chris would be thrilled with her renovation, but  husband Bruce is also very pleased!

If you are like Chris and like to leave your window open at night whilst you sleep, we are able to fit locks to our Aluminium Plantation Shutters to provide that peace of mind security.

A great combination of these products
A great combination of these products

We have used Aluminium Plantation shutters to provide a flexible privacy screen to each side of the deck. The louvres  move to provide either a more weather protected space or increased ventilation.

This client has experienced intense glare and heat not only onto to her deck but also into the back of the house,  external blinds have solved both problems and yet maintained the view into the garden. Sandi and Tony are delighted with the result of this project, and with the addition of an external gas heater they plan to host their family get togethers, all year round on their new living room deck.

These clients in Hamilton Newcastle have had a great experience with our locally made Aluminium Plantation Shutters. Today we  received this feedback from Gai and Geoff Roarthy “I have already recommended your company to all my work colleagues and friends. The service received is fantastic and the product is great”

Classic Blinds and Shutters is a family run business, we work hard to deliver a fantastic result for all our clients through out the Hunter region. Classic clients really appreciate how well Aluminium Planation Shutters work within a family environment. There is no need to feel precious about them when leaving windows open, the powder coat paint work is long lasting and durable and the look is beautiful. Many people are amazed at the transformation to their homes Plantation Shutters can bring, both from the inside and outside.

Aluminium Plantation Shutters

These shutters are incredibly low maintenance and require nothing more than a wipe down to remove dust or marks. Any minor surface scratches can be simply polished out with a general car polish or a cream cleanser from the kitchen. Buff off residue with a clean rag.

 With use the blades may become loose. To tension the blades simply use a no. 1 Phillips screwdriver and tighten 2 or 3 of the screws that attach the control bar to the blades. Make sure not to over tighten.

Great for either side of a door, offering style and privacy

These Western Red Cedar Plantation Shutter panels were handcrafted in our factory in Newcastle, they can be custom painted to match any interior.

The slim panels either side of the door compliment the contemporary look of this house’s entrance, plus giving much needed privacy from the street and visitors.

House designed and built by MacDonald JonesThese Plantation Shutters look fabulous on this recently completed MacDonald Jones home, the shutters work very well with the tall skinny windows used in so many of their contempory designs. They look great on the very slim windows either side of the front door.
