PLANTATION SHUTTERS MELBOURNE
Custom Face Fit Plantation Shutters
Plantation Shutters by Life Blinds are available in a stunning range of painted and stained colour options, crafted from both Basswood and PVC. These shutters combine style and sophistication, effortlessly complementing any décor. Whether for your home or business, they offer a perfect balance of functionality, privacy and light control, creating a welcoming and elegant atmosphere.
One of the standout advantages of Plantation Shutters is their exceptional insulation properties. When fully closed, they form an insulating barrier between the shutter and the window, helping to keep your home cooler in summer and warmer in winter. This not only enhances comfort but also assists in reducing energy costs, ensuring a more stable and comfortable interior temperature throughout the year.

CUSTOM SHAPES FOR PLANTATION SHUTTERS
Arched, Sunburst and Triangle Plantation Shutters. Shaped to suit your home perfectly.
Tracking Shutter
The tracking system is perfect for large shutters, expansive windows, or room dividers. Choose from our bi-folding track system or sliding track system to suit your needs.
Operation
The louvers can be easily tilted by hand, giving you full control over the amount of light that enters your room.
Inside or Outside Mount Plantation Shutters
An inside mount (recess fit) plantation shutter fits neatly within your window recess, while an outside mount (face fit) plantation shutter is fixed to the outside face of your window architrave.
D Mould
A D Mould is used when two plantation shutter panels are needed, with one panel fitting over the other. It features a lip that holds the second panel closed. When operating a D Mould plantation shutter, you open the panel with the lip first.
Midrail
A midrail is essential for plantation shutters with a drop of over 1500mm. It strengthens the panel and can be positioned centrally or aligned with your window mullions for a custom fit.
T-Posts
T-posts divide large plantation shutters into separate sections, providing a fixing point for each panel and ensuring a secure fit.
Louvers (Blades)
Louvers are the individual blades in your plantation shutter that can be adjusted to control light and airflow. They have an oval shape, which allows them to close more tightly. Louvers are available in four sizes: 48mm, 64mm, 89mm and 114mm. The size you choose depends on your window and the amount of light you want to allow in.
Front Tilt Rod
The Front Tilt Rod is positioned at the front and centre of your plantation shutter, enabling easy control to adjust the louvers up or down.
Clear View Tilt Rod
A clear view tilt rod is a wooden bar positioned at the front of your plantation shutter, used to adjust the louvers for light and privacy control.
Clear View Shutter
The clear view shutter features a hidden tilt rod at the back, offering a neat and simple look. This design can be applied to multiple sections, allowing each to be controlled separately.
Split Tilt
The split tilt rod enables independent control of different sections of your shutter blades, providing greater flexibility for light control and privacy. It lets you close the bottom section for privacy while leaving the top open to let in light or provide a clear view.
Stiles
There are two types of stiles available: flat stile and beaded stile, both offering different aesthetic options for your plantation shutters.
