Plantation Shutters Melbourne
Melbourne is often described as having four seasons in one day. From the dry hot spells to the frosty winter nights, and everything in between, our shutters offer premium functionality.
Amazing benefits in any weather
We supply plantation shutters in Melbourne that are easy to install, high-quality and affordable!
During the winter months we know it can get pretty miserable. Cold and cloudy mornings, and even frost if you’re in the High Country. But fret not as our shutters fit perfectly with your window, retaining heat and keeping you warm and toasty.
Then in January and February, when the Melbourne temperature's starts to soar, and those 30-degree days come around, plantation shutters work as a great way to block out the sun’s harsh rays.
Our PVC plantation shutters have an aluminum core to reinforce each blade, are resistant to fading and cracking and suitable for wet areas. So, whether you want to install them in your lounge, bedroom, kitchen or bathroom, your home will look amazing and function in any weather that Melbourne may throw at you.

Frequently asked questions
Do plantation shutters keep out the cold?
Australia’s gorgeous climate is a blessing, but it has made single glazed windows the standard across the country, and they don’t really cope when the weather strays too far from comfortable. Happily plantation shutters are an economic, beautiful and effective insulator, helping to keep your home a comfortable temperature from the height of summer to the depths of winter, and lowering your power bill all the while.
Do plantation shutters add value to the home?
Between their beautiful look and their ability to insulate, plantation shutters add real value to your home. And when you choose The Shutters Department shutters, the value that you add will be exponentially more than the true price of the shutters!
What is the difference between blinds and shutters?
Many people use the terms ‘blind’ and ‘shutter’ interchangeably. But in reality there are a few important differences.
Blinds are attached to the inside of the window recess or above it, while shutters are attached directly to the window frame itself. Along with the unique look, this makes plantation shutters sturdier, longer lasting, better at insulating, and safer (there are no cords or chains dangling from the window that kids or pets can get caught on). And while most people might choose blinds purely due to the price, with The Shutters Department you can enjoy all these perks at a similar - often lower - cost!
