Plantation Shutters

They’re a popular window treatment that feature distinctive wide louvres or slats. Our shutters are all manufactured with TecWood. This premium material features a veneer, which mimics hardwood and provides additional durability. Our interactive website allows you to pick from a variety of styles and colours to suit your specific decor. They make for an attractive, and functional addition to any home.

Like most other blinds and shutters, indoor shutters are used to control the amount of light and air that enters a room. They are also helpful with providing additional privacy and security. Our website furthermore allows you to order window treatments which are made to measure. This way, your shutters will arrive perfectly fitted to your specific window.

Shutters are becoming increasingly popular due to their rustic aesthetic appeal, but can also provide great protection from the sun's harmful UV rays. They are also an effective way to keep heat out of a home or building if they are properly installed. When shut, the frame and louvres prevent warmer air from the window covering’s exterior from entering the room.

At Veneta, our range of shutters that feature a single panel can reach a maximum span of 960mm in width, and bi-fold panels can reach a maximum span of 600mm in width; with options to include multiple panels in the overall design. Our shutters with 4 bi-folded panels can reach a max overall width of 2,200mm. However, if you add in “T” posts, you can achieve an overall width of up to 3,760mm with 4 panels. Furthermore, our shutter blinds also have louvres coming in two sizes, 76mm and 89mm. Larger louvres generally provide a better view of the exterior. Although, they may look disproportionate and jarring on smaller windows.

At Veneta, we offer two different frames to choose from when ordering your personalised shutters; the Reveal Fit and Face Fit frames. Reveal Fit frames sit within the reveal of your window. The reveal is the term used to describe the section of your frame adjacent to the window. If your reveal lacks sufficient depth to install your frame, you may be required to order a Face Fit frame. These are generally mounted onto the architrave of your window. If you have the depth to accommodate a Reveal Fit, you have the option to choose between either frames based on your stylistic preferences.

They do indeed come in a range of colours. Our shutters are available in three hues: pure white, silk white, and pearl. To inspect these options, please see our Colour Samples page.

There are two ways to operate our custom plantation shutters; we offer Control Bar and Clear View controllers.

• Control Bars are attached to the front of the louvres, and are adjusted to operate all louvres simultaneously. Control Bars feature a traditional operating style.

• Clear View controllers feature a hidden gear system that allows you to tilt one louvre by hand to adjust all louvres. Clear View controllers remove all obstructions from the shutter, which improves your view when the louvres are open.

One additional benefit of owning louvre shutters is that they’re relatively easy to clean and maintain. To clean your shutters, simply use a duster to sweep away any dust or detritus that has accumulated on your louvres. The frame of your window may also be wiped down with a damp rag. From time to time, you may furthermore want to check the frame for rust.
