Plantation shutters in Melbourne are an excellent window treatment that is built directly into the window casement. Therefore, they are a permanent fixture and feature within the house. The shutter uses horizontal slats, which are mounted into a solid frame so they can be lifted and lowered for privacy and airflow needs. These shutters can be installed on the outside or inside of your window box, though most homeowners want them on the inside. You can also ensure that the shutters open wide to let in full light when desired. That way, you’ve got full control over your home and how it works.
Plantation shutters in Melbourne can take some getting used to because they work differently than blinds or shades. Traditional blinds allow you to lower/raise the entire setting to let in light. You also get louvre blades that can be opened or shut, as well. Shades, however, can only be raised or lowered, giving you less control. Plantation shutters use slats that can be tilted open to allow light/air into the house. You can tilt them fully or partially depending on your needs. You can also fully close them to create privacy and block all light and airflow.
