High Quality Outdoor Shutters Brisbane
Do your open outdoor spaces feel *too* open? A breath of fresh air can be great, but it can also be a negative when you’re living under the watchful gaze of neighbours or the glaring heat of the sun.
Outdoor plantation shutters can help turn verandahs, seasonal rooms, and balconies into versatile spaces for any use. They can also help block your home from extremes in warm and cold, making it easier to regulate indoor temperatures without inflating your utility bills year-round.
Since they’re exposed to the elements, often taking the brunt of the rain and wind, you’ll want to make sure you purchase high-quality plantation shutters in Brisbane – and the materials you choose are just the start. You’ll need a top-notch installation so that they’ll last for years to come, no matter what mother nature throws at them.
At FKR Group, we offer superior products at great prices with a custom touch. The result is outdoor solutions that perform and protect, all backed with industry-leading warranties. Plus, they look amazing with a number of styles and colors to choose from. Call us on 0412 872 822 for a fast free quote with one of our specialists.
The features of quality exterior shutters
Any number of factors can alter their structural integrity and durability. They can also come in a range of styles and colors to match any home design. Combining these different preferences can result in any number of shutter types for your selection. Here are some of the key details you’ll want to keep in mind throughout the process.
Material
Most outdoor shutters will be made of high-grade extruded aluminium, which won’t corrode when wet. They are also a great combination of sturdy and lightweight, helping to protect your entertaining spaces while not being so heavy that maneuvering them is a hassle.
Finish
Outdoor aluminium shutters don’t have to look metallic. You’ll be able to choose from different hues in Colorbond finishes as well as powder coatings, matte, gloss, and woodgrain wraps for a unique look that matches your home.Louvre size
The horizontal slats on outdoor plantation shutters, or louvres, are what let you control the amount of light and cross breeze you let into your enclosed space. Most options come in 90mm and 115mm sizes with custom options available.
Framing
How do you want your shutters to operate? Choose from bifold, sliding track, fixed channel, and L-frame options for flexibility and accessibility. Folding and track options can even be designed to pull completely out of the way to create a wide-open area when needed.
Rating
Most outdoor plantation shutters are sturdy in their own right. But strong storms can batter even the toughest of materials. Cyclone rating options ensure that your window covers will last, even if cyclones are few and far between in Brisbane
Security
Keep intruders out (or little ones in) with locking solutions that add security to your outdoor shutters. They’re also handy for keeping things in place when the wind starts to pick up. Flush bolts, lockable handles, security bolts, and blade locks are all available options.
Customisation
This is an important aspect to keep in mind. Every plantation shutter should be measured and made to fit your exact space and needs. Measure wrong, and an ill-fitting shutter will be sure to disappoint. Custom options also include colors, divider rail placement, tilt and motorization, and louvre widths. Of course, keep in mind that customisation is the biggest culprit in driving up costs.

How long is the installation process?
A professional installer will be well-versed in everything needed to hang your outdoor plantation shutters properly. This includes proper handling as well as framing, leveling, and hinging. The length of an install is usually a factor of how many outdoor covers you have and how large they are. The total project could be anywhere from 15 minutes to up to 10 hours depending on the complexity of your install. At FKR Group, we understand how valuable your time is, so our skilled installation experts will give you an estimate once the details of your project are finalised.
Can I hang the covers myself?
It’s possible, but it might be more trouble than you bargained for. Expert installers are savvy when it comes to measuring and installing plantation shutters from start to finish. Start out askew, and your covers might be misaligned across your patio, reducing how good of a job they can do at stopping rain and wind from creeping in. You may also void warranties if you install them improperly. It’s always best to go with a professional for these projects.
How much do they cost in Brisbane?
For any company to provide you with a quote for pricing, they’ll have to calculate, at minimum, the following:
- Shutter quantity
- Material type
- Shutter size
- Customisations
- Installation fees
On average, Brisbane outdoor plantation shutters made from aluminium tend to run $350 tp $450/m2 for the covers themselves. Installation costs average $80/m2, though this cost may not be broken out on all estimates.
