With an elegant appearance, they work beautifully in bedrooms and living areas, delivering style, privacy and light control with ease. The width of the louvres varies from around 88mm to 115mm. Unlike blinds, shutters don’t use a string. Instead, they open up like doors. While this is a matter of style, they are a little more elegant and strong than the simple blind.

Even the louvres are under your control, with options including off-set, centre and clearview. And, in terms of mounting, they may be installed in any of the following ways:

• Hinged
• Fixed
• Bay
• Corner
• Bi-Folds

P.S Looking to express your style through colour? No problem!

Most homeowners usually choose a white colour for that classic and timeless look. However, there are many types, styles, and materials so whether you want a contrasting feature to add a little ‘WOW’ factor, or to blend in with a more neutral tone, you can. Durable paint finishes are available using 2PAC Polyurethane paint that’s resistant against marks and easy to clean.

The two most relevant factors for price are the material type and the total surface area. As an average, Brisbane homeowners spend $2,200 per window… but let’s be honest, your home isn’t average.

We’ve rounded up some industry-standard prices in the table below so you can plot out your budget with confidence. For specific pricing, get in touch and request a quote online by telling us a little about your upcoming project or vision.
