Residential homeowners in Australia are slowly becoming aware of the advantages of installing plantation shutters for outdoor spaces. Besides the timeless aesthetic appeal of plantation shutters, this window covering solution delivers a host of other benefits that will compel even the most cautious homeowners to buy DIY plantation shutter kits online.

It is important for homeowners to learn basics about shutters before purchasing them online. Misinformation or lack of knowledge about shutters can mean a waste of your money, and to some extent, reduce the aesthetic appeal and value of your home.

In this article, we will enumerate important questions you should ask when shopping for shutters online.

Do you have the space that complements aluminum shutters?

Not all homes are suitable for plantation shutters or aluminum shutters. Some criteria when determining as to whether you should consider installing plantation shutters are as follows:

There should be enough space for the shutter to be installed around windows or door openings. Ample room on all four sides for the shutter is required to work its magic in increasing the beauty of your home. Proper placement is important, as poorly-installed shutters can reduce the beauty of both interior and exterior walls.

Do you have know-how on plantation shutters and blinds installation?

Believe it or not, but some homeowners install shutters solely for their aesthetics. If this is the case, we highly advise for you to remove the hardware. Installing hardware that is never going to be used look unsightly from up close.

If you decide to install shutters, you need to understand that hardware installation and operation are imperative to ensure longevity over time. And since they can be opened or closed, they provide added functionality such as protection from the elements and ensuring privacy for people inside the house.

What is the shutter style that fits your house design?

Plantation wooden shutters will look good in homes with traditional architectural designs. External louvered shutters are the perfect window coverings in areas with hot and/or humid climate. The easy control of louvres allows for the entry of light as well as air inside the home.

For areas that enjoy cold weather conditions, solid paneled shutters are perfect. They serve to protect the home interior from heavy rains, snowfall, and strong winds, too!

You had great options for my windows, some were straight forward however others were trickier (openings not centred, taps in the way etc). This is my second home I have put shutters in, wouldn't settle for anything else OR any other company!
