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.
Cleaning of your blinds
Dry Cleaning or washing is not recommended to clean either Roman or Roller Blinds To remove surface dust use a vacuum with a brush attachment. Simply vacuum once or twice a month to avoid build up of dust, it is probably easier if you can get someone to hold the blind taut and straight whilst vacuuming down to avoid creasing the fabric. A soft art eraser is very useful for removing minor marks, and very effective in the removal of fingerptints.
All roller blinds are manufactured without side hems, slight fraying may occur if handled excessively on the edges, or if the fabric rolls off into the side brackets. Try to avoid handling the fabric of your blind, always use the chain or cords to operate. Trim off any frayed section and check that your blind is not running off square.

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.
This room clearly shows that it is possible to use both. This client chose Western Red Cedar Plantation shutters and then Helioscreen’s motorised system for her stacker doors. We have used Barcelona Lava translucent for night time privacy and Charcoal Bronze Helio3100 sunscreen for daytime use.
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.
Roof Retractable
This Retractable Roof has been built to withstand a large of weather conditions and is one of the few options available for summer and winter use. Most awnings are designed for sun protection only and are not suitable to be left out in strong winds. An Italian company, Corradi have successfully been manufacturing a range of retactable roofs for a number of years and these are now available in Australia. The roof can be attached to an existing or purpose built structure such as a pergola or used on timber, aluminium or stainless uprights.
Roller Blinds
Standard roll is when the fabric feeds from the rear of the blind. This has a number of advantages.
The fabric is closer to the glass, allowing for better light block out.
The chain is more accessible and less likely to rub on the fabric causing fraying.
However it is sometimes necessary to reverse roll blinds, for example when fixing over sliding doors. Rolling the fabric from the front just gives that extra clearance needed to accommodate handles and bars.
With block out fabrics the light coloured block out coating is visible along the top of the roll with standard roll. Not really a problem if the front of the fabric is a light colour, but can be visually irritating if a darker or textured fabric has been used.
A reversed rolled blind, creates its own pelmet and disguises the roll underneath.
The downsides of reverse roll
It can be more awkward to get to the chain to pull the blind up, there is a chance of handling the fabric and therefore marking it. Sometimes the chain can rub the fabric causing fraying
