Custom plantation shutters for Adelaide homes, with a choice of styles and finishes to suit your windows and interior.
Custom plantation shutters for Adelaide homes
Plantation shutters are fitted to the individual dimensions of your window or opening rather than selected as a standard off-the-shelf size.
Adjustable louvres let you change how much light enters the room and how open the window feels throughout the day. Tilt them to let daylight in while maintaining privacy, open the panels when you want full access to the window, or close the shutters when you want greater screening.
Adelaide Double Glazing Installations can supply plantation shutters for a wide range of existing glazed windows, as well as for new double-glazing projects.

Plantation shutters and double glazed windows
Plantation shutters and double glazing perform different but complementary roles.
A double-glazed window provides the main thermal barrier through its glazing, frame and seals. Plantation shutters sit inside the room and add an adjustable internal window furnishing that gives you greater control over light and privacy.
When closed, the shutters also create another layer between the room and the glass. Adelaide Double Glazing Installations specifically identifies increased thermal performance as one of the benefits of combining plantation shutters with double glazing.
They can be considered alongside a new uPVC double glazed window system or fitted to our uPVC windows that have already been installed.
For homeowners already considering energy-efficient windows, plantation shutters provide an additional way to manage the inside of the window without changing the glazing itself. Our energy-efficient window range uses double glazing and insulated uPVC frames to reduce heat transfer through the window system.
Choose plantation shutters to suit your home
The shutter material influences its appearance, maintenance and suitability for different areas of the home. Our range includes PVC and timber plantation shutters, giving you two material options with different looks, maintenance requirements and practical characteristics.
PVC plantation shutters
PVC shutters provide a practical, low-maintenance option for many rooms.
They are easy to clean and resistant to moisture and UV exposure, which can make them particularly useful in kitchens, bathrooms and other areas exposed to higher humidity. A range of colours and finishes is available.
Timber plantation shutters
Timber plantation shutters bring the natural grain, warmth and character of timber into the room.
They can suit both traditional and contemporary interiors where the window furnishing is intended to become a more noticeable part of the overall design. Timber is a popular option for its natural appearance and warmth, and it comes with a 5-year warranty.
Colours and finishes to complement your windows
Plantation shutters can be selected to blend with the window frame and surrounding interior or used as a stronger design feature. We offer a broad range of colour choices, with up to 20 colours available depending on the selected shutter product.
In our showroom you can view both light-coloured and timber-look options which will give you an opportunity to compare different finishes before making a selection.
Plantation shutters are available across the same service area as our double-glazing installations.
Shutter configurations for different windows
Custom plantation shutters can be configured around different window shapes, sizes and opening styles, including selected custom-shaped windows.
standard hinged shutters
fixed shutters
bi-fold shutters
sliding shutters
corner window shutters
bay window shutters
tier-on-tier shutters
Custom plantation shutters
Custom plantation shutters can also be made for selected non-standard window shapes, including angled and curved openings. This can be useful where a standard rectangular shutter would not suit the window design.
The right configuration depends on the size and shape of the opening, how the existing window operates and how you want to use the shutters day to day.
Adjust light and privacy throughout the day
One of the main advantages of plantation shutters is the control provided by adjustable louvres. Rather than having the window furnishing simply open or closed, you can change the louvre angle as light conditions and privacy needs change.
Let natural light into the room
Open or angle the louvres to bring in daylight without necessarily exposing the entire window.
Create more privacy
Adjust the louvres to reduce views into the room while retaining some natural light.
Reduce direct sunlight
Closing or angling the louvres can help screen stronger direct sunlight when required.
Open the complete window
Depending on the shutter configuration, panels can be opened when you want clearer access to the window or a more open outlook.
Plantation shutters for different rooms
Plantation shutters can work across many areas of the home because the material and configuration can be selected around the way each room is used.
Living areas may benefit from adjustable daylight and privacy throughout the day, while bedrooms can use the shutters for greater screening when required.
PVC options can be useful in higher-moisture areas such as bathrooms and kitchens because of their moisture resistance and easy-clean surface.
For larger or more unusual openings, configurations such as sliding, bi-fold, bay window or corner shutters can provide a more practical fit than a standard hinged arrangement.

Why add plantation shutters to your windows?
Plantation shutters bring together several practical functions in one permanent window furnishing.
They give you adjustable control over light and privacy, a choice of custom configurations and a finish that becomes part of the window rather than sitting loosely in front of it.
For existing windows, they provide a way to update the internal window furnishing without replacing the glass or frame.
For homeowners planning new double glazed windows and doors, the shutters can also be considered at the same time so the window and furnishing work together from the outset. And for existing Adelaide Double Glazing Installations customers, they can be retrofitted to uPVC double-glazed windows that have already been installed.
