At Prestige Plantation Shutters, we provide high quality plantation shutters with honest pricing and exceptional service. We offer genuine product warranties and support even after the installation process has been completed. From your initial consultation to the final installation, you’ll receive expert advice and professional service every step of the way.
We’ve learned a thing or two about what works in our climate and what doesn’t. Perth’s harsh sun, coastal winds and those random hailstorms can push some window shutters to breaking point. That’s why you need high quality shutters, made with high quality materials and installed by high quality professionals.
Whether you’re after plantation shutters for your living room, security shutters for peace of mind or door shutters to finish off the look, we’ve got options that’ll work for your home and wallet.
Plantation shutters
These are classic shutters. Wide slats, clean lines and they work with pretty much any style of home. Plantation window shutters are great for controlling light and airflow but also look sleek.
The beauty of plantation shutters is in the details. You can adjust the slats to let in just the right amount of light, block out nosy neighbours or open them completely when you want maximum airflow. Perfect for Perth’s climate where you want flexibility.
We make our plantation shutters from different materials depending on what you want and your budget. Timber does look amazing but needs a bit more maintenance. PVC is practically bulletproof and perfect for wet areas like bathrooms. Aluminium is tough and great for larger windows.
Security shutters
Security shutters aren’t just about keeping the bad guys out though they definitely do that. They are great for storm protection and keeping your property private. They can sometimes even lower your insurance premium.
Modern security shutters don’t look like those old-school roller shutters that made your house look like a shop. These days security shutters can look good while still providing excellent protection.
We install different types depending on what you’re trying to achieve. Manual ones are cheaper but you need to wind them up and down by hand. Electric ones are more convenient, just hit a button and they roll up or down.
Door shutters
Don’t forget about your doors. Door shutters can completely transform the look of your home while providing extra security and weather protection.
Bi-fold door shutters are popular for sliding doors because they fold back completely when you want them out of the way. Fixed shutters work well for front doors or anywhere you want permanent protection with adjustable slats.
Sure, you can buy shutters online or from a hardware store but getting them fitted properly is where the expertise really matters.
Every window’s different. Even in new homes windows aren’t always perfectly square or level. Professional installation means actually coming out to the property, measuring accurately, making adjustments for imperfections and getting everything aligned so your shutters operate smoothly and look professional.
Our team of qualified carpenters handles everything from precise measurements to flawless finishing. We guide you through style, colour and material choices to match your home’s needs, so you don’t have to lift a finger during the installation process.
Let’s be honest Perth weather can be a bit all over the place. One day it’s 35°C and blazing sun, next day you’re dealing with howling winds and sideways rain. Regular blinds and curtains just don’t cut it when you’re dealing with conditions like this.
Window shutters are designed to be different. They’re built to last and actually improve the quality of your home instead of just covering your windows.
Good quality shutters can last up to decades if they’re installed properly. Try getting that kind of lifespan out of those cheap blinds.

Maintenance and longevity
One of the best things about quality shutters is the lack of maintenance they need. Regular dusting and the occasional wipe down with a damp cloth is usually all that’s really needed.
Timber shutters might need re-staining every 5-7 years depending on exposure but that’s about it. PVC and aluminium shutters are pretty much set-and-forget once they’re installed.
Moving parts like hinges and adjustment mechanisms should be checked occasionally and maybe given a drop of oil if they start getting stiff. But we use quality hardware that’s designed to last for decades with minimal maintenance.
It’s better sometimes to spend a little more initially and invest in good quality then buying a cheaper alternative, just to end up spending more money than the difference over the next few years fixing or replacing it!
Plus we back everything with a 20-year warranty, quality you can trust. Materials and workmanship are covered, and we’ll come back to sort out any issues.
Installing shutters in Perth isn’t the same as installing them in Melbourne or Sydney. Our climate’s harsher, our building styles are different and we’ve got specific challenges that interstate companies don’t always understand.
Take UV damage for example. Perth gets some of the most intense UV radiation in the world. Shutters that aren’t designed for our conditions can fade and warp within a few years. We only use materials and finishes that can handle decades of Perth sun without falling apart.
Then there’s the wind. When those winter storms roll in from the Indian Ocean they don’t mess around. Shutters need to be anchored properly and built to withstand serious wind loads. We’ve seen plenty of poor installations that failed during storms and it’s not pretty.
If you’re anywhere near the coast then you’re probably well aware of the dangers of salty air. Even suburbs that seem inland can get salt corrosion if the wind’s blowing the right way. All our hardware is marine grade stainless steel or specially coated to resist corrosion.
Timber shutters
Timber’s the traditional choice and it looks fantastic, especially in heritage homes or anywhere you want that classic look. We use also make sure to use sustainable hardwoods that can handle Perth’s climate without warping or cracking.
The thing about timber is it does need some maintenance. A light sand and re-stain every few years will keep them looking good. But if you’re prepared to do that bit of upkeep timber shutters can last for generations.
PVC shutters
PVC shutters are practically maintenance free and perfect for areas that get wet regularly. Bathrooms, laundries, kitchens, pretty much anywhere steam and moisture might be an issue.
Modern PVC shutters don’t look cheap like they used to. The manufacturing’s come a long way and you can get finishes that look remarkably like painted timber. They’re also completely waterproof and won’t warp, crack or fade.
Aluminium shutters
For large windows or commercial applications aluminium shutters are hard to beat. They’re incredibly strong, won’t corrode and can span bigger openings without sagging.
Aluminium shutters are also great for security applications. Much harder to force than timber or PVC and they can be fitted with additional locking mechanisms for extra peace of mind.
There’s something to be said for working with people who understand local conditions. We know which materials work best in different Perth suburbs. We understand local building codes and body corporate requirements. And if something goes wrong we’re always here to fix it.
We also back our work with proper warranties. Materials and workmanship are covered and we can come back to your property at any time to make any adjustments or tweaks.
