Stylish Plantation Shutters for your Adelaide home
If you are considering plantation shutters for your Adelaide home, you are not alone. Long coveted for their visual appeal, they are the most versatile window furnishing. Equally suited to both traditional and contemporary homes, they complement most architectural styles. Plantation, or louvred shutters as they are also known, blend beautifully with neutral interiors, or they can make a bold design statement for your home or business.
Our Highprofile ™ brand combines strength and durability with elegant design and will help you achieve the right mix of light, airflow and temperature control in your special space.
At ASI Security, we offer three types of high-quality plantation shutter in Adelaide: timber, PVC and aluminium. Our customer service team would be happy to advise you on the best option for your home and provide you with a free measure and quote. Our plantation shutters are custom-made to fit perfectly, and installed by experienced professionals.
Shutters are a statement in any room, providing a unique look of stylish design and understated elegance. Designed to be flexible, they suit the needs of most home owners. We can install plantation blinds in sliding, bi-fold and hinged configurations or even as fixed panels. This makes them suitable for door openings, windows and even as room dividers. At ASI we can custom-make shutters to fit most window shapes and sizes, no matter how curved, angled, large or small.
Timber Plantation Shutters
Choose between our two beautiful and versatile options of Highprofile Classic ™ painted or stained timber shutters. All Highprofile Classic ™ internal shutters are made from 100% poplar or 100% basswood. Unlike some cheaper options on the market, they are not merely a low-grade timber or composite covered in a thin veneer. Not only do they look amazing, they are also better quality and more durable. All timber used is sourced from sustainable forestry.
Highprofile ™ Painted Poplar
Available in a standard range of 13 different shades of white using a specialised 2-pack polyurethane paint system, similar to high end kitchen cabinetry. Custom colours are available on request. Three undercoats of paint are applied to the timber for extra durability, followed by the top coat. Poplar timber is a low-density light coloured hardwood with a fine texture and flawless finish. This combined with the 2-pack finish ensures a polished, uniform result each and every time
Highprofile ™ Stained Basswood
You can choose from 13 standard stain colours with each timber component stained, sealed, sanded and top coated. Basswood is light in colour and has a distinctive grain, which enhances the staining process and provides the rich luxurious appeal of natural timber.
Timber plantation shutters are available in three slat sizes, 64mm, 89mm and 114mm depending on the level of view-through required. The tilt bar can be mounted in the middle of the shutter panel or offset to the side for a more traditional look. Another option is the “clearview” mechanism, which is cleverly hidden on the reverse side of the panel. This delivers a clean, contemporary look, with an unobstructed view through the open louvres.
Timber plantation shutters are definitely the most popular for Adelaide homes and businesses. However there are other options available, particularly if you are on a tight budget.
Aluminium Plantation Shutters
Highprofile Avenir ™ shutters combine innovation and style. Made from marine grade aluminium, they are lightweight yet extremely durable. Avenir are a lighter weight and can span up to 1100mm offering the widest single panel of any interior shutter. With their sleek modern lines, Avenir aluminium shutters have all the benefits of timber at a more affordable price.
Available in 6 popular and highly durable powder coat matt finishes and a custom colour option, Avenir shutters have a blade size of 89mm.
Suitable for use in all internal areas of your home, including wet areas.
PVC Shutters
Highprofile Poly ™ is an entry level PVC shutter that provides a cost-effective alternative to timber shutters. Finished in quality 2-pack polyurethane paint, Highprofile Poly provides the timeless look of plantation shutters. Constructed with 100% extruded PVC, each louvre blade has an aluminium insert for extra strength and durability.
Highprofile Poly plantations receive three undercoats of paint and a top coat. Virtually waterproof, they are perfect for wet areas like kitchens, bathrooms and laundries.
Our high-quality PVC plantation shutters are available in a selection of 13 standard shades of white with 64mm and 89mm slats. They meet Australia’s VOC standard levels for health and safety. They are also UV resistant which means they will not yellow over time.
Key Benefits of Internal Shutters
Privacy – Plantation shutters are designed so that the louvres can be easily angled to stop prying eyes while still allowing daylight in. On larger windows you can keep the lower half closed to the outside world and tilt the louvres of the upper half to control the amount of light. This is ideal for bedrooms, bathrooms and street facing windows.
Space saving – Plantation shutters usually sit well inside the casement of the window. Unlike heavy curtains, their sleek design means they don’t take up extra wall space or protrude into the room. This means your home will feel more spacious.
UV protection and flexible light control – You can angle the louvres to control how much light enters a room, directing harmful UV rays away from your furniture, carpets and flooring. This helps protect your treasured possessions and furnishings. On a gloomy day, open the panels fully to allow a clear view through the window.
Sound and thermal insulation – Shutters provide a layer of sound insulation when the panels and louvres are closed. In addition, not only do they keep warmth in during winter months, they also reflect heat back out during the harsh Australian summer. This can help to reduce your heating and cooling bills.
Low maintenance and health benefits – Plantations require very little maintenance. When compared to blinds and curtains, they collect very little dust. This means that an occasional wipe with a microfiber cloth will keep them clean. This makes them the perfect solution for allergy sufferers.
Investment and curb appeal – Interior plantation shutters are now such a desired window dressing, they are a sound investment for your home. They could even help increase the potential value of your property.
