Quality aluminium shutters for indoor and outdoor use
Aluminium shutters are a great choice for indoor and outdoor spaces. Aside from their sleek, contemporary appearance and versatility, aluminium shutters will not bend or warp in damp environments, meaning they can be installed in your outdoor entertaining area or wet rooms indoors, like bathrooms, kitchens, and laundries.
Aluminium Plantation Shutters
Aluminium plantation shutters are in demand for their stylish appearance and practical benefits. They increase airflow and block out the hot summer sun, making them a must-have for scorching summers and temperamental winters in Australia.
The wider spacing between each slat allows more air to circulate in your living space, perfect for large or stuffy rooms and open-plan areas.
Aluminium shutters create a tight seal when closed, allowing them to block out light and air more effectively to keep your living areas cool. This also provides more privacy to your home or business.
Indoor Aluminium Shutters
Internal aluminium shutters are quite different from outdoor ones, featuring a slimmer metal end cap and a matt finish. Interior aluminium window shutters will shield your furniture from sun damage and provide control over the light entering your home. These high-quality shutters are available in 3 different louvre sizes and eight colours/timber looks, including custom paint colours.
Our internal aluminium shutters are custom-made to withstand the test of time. Aluminium is lighter and more rigid, allowing for a wider panel width; this means aluminium shutter panels can span up to 1200mm, reducing the number of panels required for some windows. They are also side-hinged with magnetic closure, which differs greatly from our external aluminium shutters.
The Clearview tilt rod is also connected to each slat, making it easy to open and close – whether installed as sliding shutters or traditional hinged window coverings.
Outdoor Aluminium Shutters
Aluminium shutters are a must-have for external applications like decks, patios, balconies, and terraces; they keep high winds, rain, and intense sunlight at bay while entertaining outdoors. Their weather resistance also contributes to their low-maintenance nature—occasionally wiping the blades down with a damp cloth will do the trick.
Due to external elements, aluminium shutters require a thicker end cap than internal aluminium shutters. We use metal endcaps only; plastic endcaps become brittle and yellow.
Aluminium is resistant to termites, corrosion, and harsh weather, so we offer a 10-year warranty on paint, components, and extrusion. We’re confident in our product, and you can rest assured that your window furnishings will look good as new for years to come.

FAQs about Aluminium Shutters
Are aluminium plantation shutters easy to clean?
Yes! Aluminium plantation shutters are easier to clean than traditional shutters thanks to their wider panels, which gives you more room to use cleaning brushes and cloths. Simply run a damp cloth or duster over the surface of each panel to remove any dust that has settled on your shutters. A damp cloth will also work for getting rid of any smudges or liquid stains.
Wipe down your indoor and outdoor shutters at least once weekly to keep them looking as good as new. While aluminium shutters are known to be sturdy and can withstand harsh weather conditions, we recommend checking your outdoor shutters after intense storms to ensure they haven’t been damaged or marked by mud, dust, and debris.
Are aluminium shutters good for improving insulation?
Yes! Aluminium shutters block UV rays and sunlight, helping to reduce the amount of heat entering your home. When closed, they provide an effective barrier against cold and warm breezes, great for climate control in winter and summer. This is because when you close your aluminium shutters, they create a seal against the window that effectively blocks airflow from entering.
Aluminium plantation shutters make it easier to control sunlight in your home, as they create an even tighter seal when closed that blocks more sunlight than regular shutters. Conversely, the wider gaps between each panel allow more light to get in, helping you warm your home on cold days.
The extra layer of insulation provided by shutters gives you more control over your home’s temperature. Because of this, aluminium shutters are a great way to increase your home’s energy efficiency. Your air conditioner won’t have to work as hard in summer to keep your house cool. Meanwhile, heaters can more effectively heat a room as less warm air will leak outside when the shutters are closed.
Will aluminium shutters get hotter than other types of shutters?
All shutters will be hot to the touch when exposed to sunlight for long periods of time, especially in summer. Being metal, you may expect your aluminium shutters to absorb more heat than timber or Fusion Plus shutters. Still, internal Fusion Plus Shutters are far better heat insulators than aluminium shutters.
Colour is the main factor affecting heat absorption in shutters. While all shutters will reach the same temperature when exposed to the same amount of sunlight, darker shades will absorb heat quicker and hold it slightly longer. If thermal control is your priority, we recommend choosing a lighter shade of shutter for your home.
Are aluminium shutters the best option for blocking out light and noise?
Aluminium shutters effectively reduce the light and noise entering your home. However, a roller shutter provides superior noise cancellation and blocks any external light from your home or business.
Our range of motorised roller shutters is engineered to run quietly and efficiently and completely block all light from entering your home. You can control your shutters conveniently via remote control and control your home’s temperature with comprehensive insulation.
Roller shutters add more privacy by completely blocking the internal view of your home. They’re also more effective at stopping light and noise from escaping your room, meaning that night owls won’t have to worry about disturbing their neighbours throughout the night. The lack of slats makes it harder for roller shutters to break through.
If you want to reduce light and noise but prefer the classic style of traditional shutters, we recommend pairing a set of Fusion Plus shutters with blockout fabric curtains. Fusion Plus shutters provide up to 70% more insulation than hardwood shutters, while heavy-duty blockout fabric effectively blocks light while keeping the timeless appearance of shutters.
