Shutters Designed for Coastal Living

Lake Macquarie is known for its waterfront homes and relaxed lifestyle. Many properties feature large windows to capture views and natural light. While this design is appealing, it also increases exposure to wind, salt, and glare from the lake. Without proper window coverings, interiors can heat up quickly, furniture can fade, and privacy can be reduced.

Plantation shutters provide a practical solution to these challenges. Adjustable louvres allow control of sunlight and airflow, helping to reduce heat gain in summer and retain warmth in winter. Unlike fabric coverings, shutters are fixed securely and remain stable during high winds.

The smooth surface also makes them easy to clean, which is essential in areas exposed to airborne salt and dust.

Built for Australian Weather Conditions

Shutters in Lake Macquarie must withstand a range of weather patterns, from strong coastal breezes to heavy rainfall and intense UV exposure. Aluminium shutters are engineered for strength, with one of the widest spans available, making them ideal for large openings without additional support.

The powder-coated finish provides protection from corrosion, peeling, and fading. This makes them suitable for both outdoor and indoor use, including patios, balconies, and living rooms. Exterior shutters come with a 10-year warranty, while interior shutters have a 25-year warranty. Their construction ensures reliable operation and appearance for many years, even in demanding coastal environments.

Custom Solutions for Every Home

Each shutter is made to order, starting with an on-site measure and consultation. This ensures a precise fit for windows of all sizes, from large patio doors to compact frames.

Design options include multiple louvre sizes for different light levels, various panel configurations for ease of use, and a wide choice of powder-coated finishes to complement existing décor. Whether for a modern glass extension or a traditional home, the made-to-measure process ensures a seamless integration into the property.

Functionality is also tailored to needs. For living areas with sunlight from multiple angles, louvres can be adjusted independently to block glare on one side while allowing light on the other. In bedrooms, shutters can be fitted to close fully for privacy and light control.
