Indoor shutters have become the go to solution for Perth homeowners who’ve had enough of replacing window treatments every few years.
At Prestige Plantation Shutters, we don’t just install shutters, we solve the problems that Perth’s climate throws at your windows everyday.
We provide high-quality plantation shutters with honest pricing and exceptional service.
The thing about Perth weather is it doesn’t just make your home uncomfortable, it destroys cheap window treatments. UV radiation here is pretty serious, it can fade fabrics in months and make plastic blinds brittle or even warp out of shape.
Our indoor plantation shutters are made from materials specifically chosen for WA conditions. Quality timber that won’t crack under pressure, uPVC that stays flexible in heat, hardware that doesn’t corrode when those unexpected humidity spikes hit during winter storms.
Good indoor shutters help regulate your home’s temperature. Those adjustable slats give you precise control over how much light comes in while still allowing airflow.
We don’t do one-size-fits-all because Perth homes aren’t one-size-fits-all. Every window has its own challenges, whether it’s an awkward shape, an unusual size, or just a tricky installation situation.
We take our time with all of our projects, meaning actually coming out to your property, measuring accurately, making adjustments for imperfections and getting everything aligned so your shutters work smoothly and look perfect.
Hinged plantation shutters
The classic choice that works for most standard windows. Hinged shutters open like cabinet doors, giving you complete access to your windows when you need it. Perfect for windows you actually need to open regularly or where you want the shutters completely out of the way sometimes.
These work particularly well in bedrooms and living areas where you want maximum flexibility. Close them for privacy and darkness or open them wide to let natural light flood in.
Bay plantation shutters
Bay windows are gorgeous but they’re a nightmare for most window treatments. Blinds can tend to look awkward, curtains bunch up weirdly and trying to fit standard shutters around those angles can be difficult.
Our bay plantation shutters are custom made to follow the exact angles of your bay window. Each panel is angled perfectly to create a seamless look that actually makes your bay window the feature it was meant to be instead of the problem it often becomes.
Arch plantation shutters
Heritage homes and newer builds with architectural flair often have arched windows. They are beautiful to look at but try finding off-the-shelf window treatments that fit properly. Tricky.
Arch plantation shutters are crafted to match the exact curve of your arched windows. The top section follows the arch perfectly while the bottom section operates normally. It’s proper custom work that makes these windows look intentional instead of like an afterthought.
Triangle plantation shutters
Odd-shaped windows used to mean compromising on window treatments. Not anymore. Triangle plantation shutters handle those awkward angular windows that seem impossible to cover properly.
These are even more common in modern homes that have interesting rooflines or loft spaces where standard rectangular windows just don’t fit the architecture.
Corner plantation shutters
Corner windows create interesting light but they’re tricky for window treatments. Corner plantation shutters are designed to work around these installations, providing coverage and control without interfering with the window operation or looking clunky.
The panels are angled to work with the corner configuration while still providing all the light control and privacy benefits of standard shutters.
Tier on tier plantation shutters
Also called cafe-style or split shutters, these have separate top and bottom sections that operate independently. You can adjust these as you please. You can keep both sections opened or closed. Or if you want some privacy and some light you can opt to close one and keep one open.
Tier on tier shutters are perfect for street-facing windows where privacy matters but you don’t want to live in a cave. They’re also great for bathrooms where you need privacy at body level but want natural light from above.
uPVC indoor plantation shutters
Our aluminium infused polymer shutters look and feel like painted timber but they’re engineered to be 100% waterproof. This isn’t the cheap plastic stuff from hardware stores, these are serious shutters that won’t absorb moisture, delaminate, split or crack.
uPVC shutters are perfect for Perth’s wet areas like bathrooms, kitchens and laundries. Places with steam, moisture and temperature changes. Quality uPVC can withstand this. Wipe them down with a damp cloth and they look like new.
The consistency is another advantage. While timber has natural variations, uPVC shutters look identical across your whole house. They are perfect if you’re going for a sleek, modern home.
Timber indoor plantation shutters
There’s something about real timber that synthetic materials just can’t replicate. Our timber shutters are crafted from high-quality wood that offers excellent durability and that timeless appeal that works in both heritage and contemporary homes.
Timber shutters actually improve with age. Instead of looking tired over time, quality timber develops character and richness that you can’t fake. The grain patterns and natural variations make each piece genuinely unique.
Something to point out is that timber does need some maintenance. Light dusting regularly and re-oiling every few years if you want to maintain the natural look. Or you can get them painted and just touch up scratches as they happen.
Slat sizes
Slat size affects both function and appearance more than most people realise. Smaller slats give you more precise light control but can look busy on large windows. Larger slats create a more dramatic look but with less flexability to adjust them.
We usually recommend 89mm slats for most Perth applications because they provide good light control while looking proportional on standard sized windows. For really tall windows, larger slats often look better. For smaller windows or where maximum privacy control matters, smaller slats work well.
Hardware
We use stainless steel hardware rated for coastal conditions even on indoor applications. If you live in Perth you are probably well aware of the humidity and temerpature swings that happen. These elements corrode inferior metals and nothing ruins good shutters like hardware that fails.
Quality hardware should operate smoothly for decades with minimal maintenance. Maybe a drop of oil on moving parts occasionally, but that’s about it.
Most indoor shutter installations can be completed in a day, depending on how many windows we’re dealing with. We tend to work room by room to keep disruption to a minimum and make sure to clean up as we go.
The installation itself is usually straightforward, it’s the measuring and manufacturing that takes time and patience. If you rush either of those steps you’ll end up with problems that cost more to fix than doing it right the first time.
Perth homes deal with conditions that many other cities don’t face. The extreme UV, the heat, the occasional wild weather. We know what materials and processes work best for these situations.
We understand which mounting systems work best with different wall types common in Perth. Whether it’s double brick, timber frame, or steel frame construction, we’ve got the experience to get it right.
Energy efficiency that matters
Quality indoor plantation shutters help regulate indoor temperatures by reducing heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter. This translates to lower energy bills, which is always welcome and appreciated given Perth’s electricity costs.
The insulation effect is real, shutters create an additional barrier between your interior and the outside temperature. Combined with good light control, this can make a noticeable difference to your comfort and running costs.
Light control
Adjustable slats give you control over natural light throughout the day. Want soft morning light but blocked afternoon glare? That’s exactly what shutters are designed to accommodate for. They are also perfect for shift workers and young children as they can block out the light completely if that’s what you need.
This level of control is something you just can’t get with fixed window treatments or basic blinds.
Privacy
Shutters give you privacy options that work for different times of day and different needs. Slats angled up provide privacy from people looking up while still allowing light. Slats angled down block views from above while maintaining airflow.
Maintenance
Our uPVC shutters need nothing more than occasional wiping with a damp cloth. No special cleaners, no treatments, no periodic replacements of wearing parts.
Timber shutters might need reoiling every few years if you want to maintain the natural look but even painted timber shutters only need to be touched up if they are damaged.
Investment value
Quality indoor plantation shutters add value to your home. They’re one of those improvements that buyers notice and are willing to pay extra for. Unlike window treatments that are often replaced when homes are sold, good shutters are seen as fixtures that enhance the property.
Our 20-year warranty means you’re buying something that’s meant to last decades, not just until the next time you redecorate.
We understand Perth conditions better than interstate companies because we live and work here. We know which materials perform best in different areas of Perth, from coastal suburbs dealing with salt air to inland areas with extreme temperature variations.
Our team guides you through style, colour and material choices that match your home’s needs and your practical requirements. With expert installation by qualified carpenters, we handle everything from precise measurements to final adjustments.
Don’t just take our word for it, our Google customer reviews reflect the quality of our work and service. We take pride in those reviews because they represent real Perth homeowners who have experiences our products and workmanship first hand.
The first step is usually a consultation where we can discuss what you want for your space and what you are looking to spend. We take the time to come out to your property to get accurate measurements before we start any manufacturing.
We measure every window precisely and discuss design options that work with your home’s style and practical needs. Whether you prefer classic timber, modern uPVC for wet areas, or need one of our speciality shapes, we’ll find the right solution.
