We installed Aluminium Plantation Shutters for Don Gow at Umina Beach, hinged panels in a soft White Birch colour.
Thanks Don for your kind comments.

We installed Aluminium Plantation Shutters custom powder coated to a lovely sand colour for Kristie Davidson throughout most of her house.
Kristie, it was great to work with you on this project!
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.
These 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.
Why use Cedar for painted Plantation Shutters?
Upsides
Heat insulation
Western Red Cedar (thuja plicata) is a North American plantation grown timber with excellent insulation properties. It has a coefficient of heat transmission or K value of 0.74 (BTU-in/hr of 0.74) at 12% M.C.
Sound insulation
With a cellular network of interlocking pores it provides the ability to dampen vibration and give acoustic insulation.
Durable
Renowned for naturally occurring resistance to moisture, decay and insect damage. Regarded as one of the most dimensional stable timbers making it ideal for wider shutter panels
Light weight
Its light weight makes it easy to handle and operate large panels
Downsides
Expensive
As a raw material it is in high demand and therefore commands a premium price. The timber requires a high level of sanding during the shutter manufacturing process and consequently has a higher labour content then other timber shutters.
Softness
A soft timber that can dent easily if care is not taken.
Live on a busy, noisy street?
Plantation shutters offer great privacy options, panels can be divided in to sections and blades tilted to give an unsurpassed range of privacy. If noise is a concern, choose timber. Western Red Cedar has a cellular network of interlocking pores that dampen vibrations and absorbs sound.
