Plantation Shutters — frequently asked

How much do plantation shutters cost in Australia (2026)?

Custom-made plantation shutters installed in Australia typically run $300–$800 per square metre in 2026, depending on material and window size. PVC sits at the lower end, basswood timber in the middle, aluminium-frame composite at the top. A four-window family home commonly quotes between $1,800 and $4,500 installed.

PVC, basswood or aluminium — which plantation shutter material is best for NSW?

For inland NSW (Riverina, Central West, Tablelands) PVC and aluminium-frame composite outperform basswood timber on heat and moisture tolerance. Basswood gives the truest natural-wood look but should stay in climate-controlled interior rooms. PVC carries 5-10 year warranties and will not warp at 40°C+ summer temperatures.

How long do plantation shutters last?

Quality plantation shutters in PVC or aluminium typically last 20+ years with no maintenance beyond an occasional wipe. Timber shutters last 15-20 years in interior rooms. The hinges and mechanism are the wearing parts — replaceable, not a full re-install.

Do plantation shutters add value to a home?

Built-in window furnishings stay with the property at sale and are typically valued as a fitted improvement. AU real-estate agents commonly call plantation shutters a "selling feature" particularly for premium properties — buyers don't want to recover the cost of new window furnishings themselves.

How long does a plantation shutter install take?

Most standard installs take 1-3 hours per window. A whole-home shutter project (12-18 windows) usually runs 1-2 days on site, scheduled after the manufacturing lead time (typically 3-5 weeks).

Are your plantation shutters available motorised?

Yes — motorised plantation shutters use a discrete tilt motor (typically Somfy or Acmeda) that pivots the louvres via remote, wall switch or smart-home app. Motorisation makes sense for hard-to-reach skylights, tall windows, or rooms where you want unified control over all openings.
