Living in Brisbane the sun can be relentless, especially during our hot and humid summers. Not only does it cause furnishings and carpeting to fade and deteriorate, but without appropriate shutters or blinds for your windows and doors, the heat penetrates your home more easily, making conditions pretty unbearable. Shutters can make a huge improvement to the level of comfort and aesthetic of your home. But which one is the right one to pick? With the many different types of shutters available, it can be overwhelming to know which type is best for your home or property. We break it all down for you below with our top tips for what shutters are best for Brisbane conditions.
Polyresin Shutters
Our Alto Polyresin Shutters range allows ample breeze flow while also enhancing the quality of light, privacy and security for the typical balmy, Brisbane home.
Polyresin shutters provide Control for privacy, security and light with stylish internal window shutters. Perfect for the Brisbane climate, they’re also unaffected by moisture and humidity. Our shutters can be imported or Australian made with a 15 year product and component warranty and come with a 25-year structural warranty, five year paint warranty and a 3 year hardware warranty.
This type of shutter also has the unique ability to provide excellent thermal and acoustic insulation. And because of the strength of their design, they have inbuilt impact resistance.
Timber Shutters
Just like polyresin shutters, timber shutters allow plenty of airflow and also enhance light quality, privacy and security for the optimal Brisbane lifestyle.
Timber shutters tend to add an element of elegance, charm and luxury to your door and window finishes too. Our range of hand-crafted Adagio Timber Shutters offer all these attributes and are made from hard-wearing premium and sustainable-grade Basswood timber found in slow-growing, cold and high alpine regions.
