What are Aluminium Plantation Shutters?

Powder coated aluminium shutters have a more durable and versatile finish, that make the shutter more water resistant, and more durable against corrosion, impact and scratches. You can operate the blades by simply adjusting the angle of the blades, which means you have full control over the amount of light that is let in, and even control the direction at which the light shines at.

Shutters normally come in three different designs, hinged, bi-fold and sliding configurations. The hinged style is most suitable for small to medium sized windows around your house, and usually consists of more than one shutter panel. The sliding designs is more suitable for wide openings, and completes the aesthetic of the rest of your house with sliding doors or windows. Finally, the bi-fold design offers a space and creates a modern look to your house with cool breeze flowing in and out of the house.
