Aluminium Shutters

Aluminium plantation shutters are weather-resistant shutters made from durable aluminium, designed for outdoor and indoor/outdoor living spaces. Like other plantation shutters, they feature adjustable louvres that give you control over light, airflow and privacy. Their aluminium construction makes them a highly durable choice and ideal for areas exposed to the elements, including patios, alfresco areas and decks.

Both are non-timber shutter options built to handle conditions that would cause a standard timber shutter to deteriorate. The main difference is their application. Thermopoly shutters are designed for high-humidity indoor areas like bathrooms and kitchens. Aluminium shutters are built for outdoor and indoor/outdoor living spaces where weather resistance is the priority. If your shutters will be exposed to rain, wind or direct sun, aluminium is the stronger choice.

Aluminium shutters are low maintenance and easy to keep clean. For regular care, dust the louvres with a microfibre cloth or soft duster to prevent buildup. For a deeper clean, wipe down with warm water and a mild detergent using a soft, non-abrasive cloth. For outdoor aluminium shutters, a gentle hose-down followed by a wipe is perfectly fine. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach or abrasive cleaners as these can damage the powdercoat finish. If you live close to the coast, clean your shutters more frequently as salt air can cause corrosion if left to build up.

Aluminium shutters come with a powdercoated finish as part of the custom order process, so repainting is not typically necessary. If you do want to repaint existing aluminium shutters, proper surface preparation is essential. Paint will not adhere to bare aluminium without a galvanised metal etching primer applied first. Once primed correctly, an acrylic latex paint is the recommended choice for exterior shutters. That said, it is a job best left to a professional to avoid chipping, flaking or uneven coverage around the louvres and hinges.

Aluminium shutters are a robust and durable product. Their solid construction is significantly harder to force or damage than a standard blind or fabric screen, and they are built to withstand harsh weather conditions including strong winds.
