PVC Plantation Shutter FAQs

Question 1

Q: How much do plantation shutters cost?

Answer

Plantation shutters add value to your home. A decent quality plantation shutter can cost between $400 and $500 a square metre installed. That said, there are huge variations in quality and materials with many cheap or discounted low quality shutters advertised.

Question 2

Q: I have a sliding door, will that work with Shutters?

Answer

Yes, for your sliding doors you can choose to have sliding shutters or bi-fold shutters.

Question 3

Q: Where are the Shutters Made?

Answer

Imported PVC or synthetic shutters are high quality and good value. Labour costs generally mean that Australian made shutters are more expensive.

As an independent business we seek out and work with reliable, high quality and competitively priced shutter suppliers both overseas and Australia to bring you the best options.

Question 4

Q: Why choose a PVC synthetic shutter over a wooden shutter?

Answer

Synthetic PVC shutters are ideal for wet areas such as kitchens and bathrooms. Many have an extended warranty up to 25 years (versus timber which is usually 5 years).

Question 5

Q: Is there better Quality PVC Synthetic Window Shutters?

Answer

PVC Shutter quality varies widely.

Some cheaper PVC Shutters are not coated with the correct UV stabiliser to withstand hot windows therefore may warp or yellow. Some are hollow and made of inferior quality. Some plantation shutters are not coated properly and use inferior paint that has harmful emitting VOCs. Some franchisee suppliers are locked up to 1 brand, so beware if they tell you all PVC shutters are the same, they are not.

Premier Shades mainly supply a premium PVC Synthetic Plantation Shutter - Thermopylae 25 as we have had very few issues with quality. At Premier Shades we can also get access to more expensive aluminium and cheaper, but still good quality, PVC Plantation Shutters to suit all budgets.

Question 6

Q: How quickly can my shutters be ready?

Answer

Most of our shutters at Premier Shades take around 10 weeks from order to installations. Australian made shutters however are faster, usually around 4-6 weeks.

Question 7

Q: How wide can the shutters go?

Answer

Every shutter brand will be slightly different. Our shutters can go up to 900mm wide per panel custom made for your window.
