Shutters have had a long history of protecting windows on the outside but today we have many choices, we have seen the introduction of aluminium and basswood shutters plus a variety of plastics and composites. They are available in many different styles and louver sizes.
shutters are increasingly used as much for visual effect as for their practical functions – outdoor shutters give us shelter from the elements and protection for the glass and the indoor shutters have brought a higher level of sophistication, they assist with blocking out the light and heat whilst providing adequate ventilation.
Shutters can be custom built to fit any shape or size window. If you want to soften the look of your shutters in some rooms, such as bedrooms, feel free to add drapes on top of your shutters. They’ll give you all the sun control and privacy you need and leave you free to add whatever decorative treatments you like.
We have embraced interior window shutters as a practical shading solution. Our desire for minimal interior design and a relaxed lifestyle means shutters enhance these values. With the open nature of Australia’s love affair with light and the clear view of the great outdoors, or to create “breezeways” for passage of cooling winds. These principles have inspired many Australian builders and architects in Australia’s Top End.
