Plantation Shutters - Brunswick

A dedicated team based in inner Melbourne has looked after a lot of customers across the Brunswick area. A few streets we can mention with very happy customers:

• Blyth Street, Brunswick East
• Lord Street, Brunswick East
• John Street, Brunswick East
• Nicholson Street, Brunswick East

From indoor PVC and timber plantation shutters to outdoor aluminium, plus roller and roman blinds, venetians and sheer curtains, we can mix and match coverings across the windows and doors of the same house.

What Brunswick Windows Actually Need

Brunswick sits in the City of Merri-bek, and the housing stock is mostly Victorian and Edwardian terraces and cottages, interwar brick, and a growing number of warehouse and factory conversions along and off Sydney Road. Each one asks for something different at the window.

Terraces and cottages. Original reveals are often deep enough to take a recess mount, the L frame, and the joinery around them is usually worth leaving visible. The thing that decides it is square. Houses of that age have moved, and an opening several millimetres out will show a recess-mounted shutter as a tapering line of daylight down one side. Where that is the case we face mount instead, and the frame covers the opening edge so the shutter reads square.

Warehouse conversions and newer apartments. Large glazed openings, shallow or absent reveals, and often a sliding door rather than a window. These are face-mount jobs, and the wide openings are covered with bi-fold or sliding shutter tracks rather than a single oversized panel.

North-facing front rooms. A lot of Brunswick frontage runs east to west, which puts the living room windows on a north or west aspect. That is where blade tilt earns its money: you can cut the afternoon glare completely and still see the street.

Which Material Suits Your Rooms

PVC plantation shutters. Aluminium reinforced and water resistant. This is what goes in bathrooms, kitchens and laundries, and it is the practical answer in a rental or an investment property because it takes cleaning without marking. See our PVC shutters range.

Timber plantation shutters. Basswood, light enough for tall panels and available in white tones and stains. The right material for a front room in a period house where the shutter has to sit next to existing joinery. See our timber shutters range.

Aluminium outdoor shutters. Powder coated and rated for exposure. Balconies, courtyards and the open side of a rear extension. An indoor shutter put outside is a product used outside its rating, so this gets settled at the quote.
