Window furnishings make a huge difference to the style and feel of your home. It’s a big decision though, so it’s best to seek professional advice.
Shutter blinds Newcastle provide great insulation for homes in Newcastle NSW, keeping you warm in winter and cool in summer. They also look fantastic and come in a wide range of colours and styles to suit any decor.
Light and Privacy
When closed, shutters block out sunlight, which means your home stays cooler in summer and warmer in winter. They also deflect harmful UV rays, protecting your furniture and carpets from sun damage.
A bespoke window solution, shutters are made to flawlessly fit your window frame and provide superior privacy control. They do a great job at reducing drafts, too.
Shutters are a stylish, contemporary option that are sure to be the envy of your neighbours. They can transform your street-facing windows into a stylish, elegant feature that enhances the look of your home. They offer more flexibility in light and privacy control than curtains and blinds and are an excellent choice for bedrooms, kitchens, and bathrooms. They can be customised with a range of frame options, louvre sizes, and tilt rods, as well as multiple paint finishes.
Durability
Traditional wooden shutters are prone to warping and cracking due to repeated exposure to moisture, which can lead to expensive repairs. However, PVC shutters are moisture-resistant and highly durable. They are also low-maintenance and energy efficient, allowing Newcastle homeowners to save on energy bills.
Moreover, the louvres on PVC shutters can be adjusted to control light and privacy. This makes them a suitable window treatment for bedrooms in Newcastle homes. Additionally, these window treatments add value to the home by increasing its aesthetic appeal and comfort.
Modern offers a range of standard and made-to-measure internal plantation shutters that are perfect for residential and commercial properties. These are manufactured from Insulite – a premium dense polymer that looks and feels like real timber. They are also CSIRO bushfire-rated and have aluminium slats with special insulated foam that helps keep summer heat out and warm air in.
Easy to Clean
While it’s important to dust your blinds regularly, you also want to clean them from time to time. This helps to keep them looking their best and keeps any stains from building up. You can use a feather duster or a vacuum cleaner brush attachment to remove the dust.
Composite shutters can be washed with a mild solution of soap and water. Alternatively, you can use furniture polish on a microfibre cloth and wipe them down.
Wood shutters need a little more care. They can be wiped down with a cloth that has been dipped in white vinegar and wrung almost dry. Wood can also be stained to match your decor, but it will need repainting from time to time. This is due to the natural gradations in the wood that can change colour over time.
Aesthetics
Aesthetically, shutters are more attractive than venetian blinds and offer a more stylish look. They are also available in a range of colours so you can match them to your interior design.
The slats in a window shutter (called louvers) can be tilted to allow you to select the amount of light you want entering a room. Unlike a venetian blind, where the slats are hung from cords, shutter slats are fitted within a frame that can be customised to fit your window.
Revamp your home with shutters that will stand the test of time and improve indoor thermal regulation in Newcastle’s changeable climate. You can even choose a custom colour to match your existing scheme. They are also easy to clean and require minimal maintenance.
Security
Newcastle is a beautiful city that offers the best of both worlds; relaxed beach culture and cosmopolitan cafe, wine and foodie vibe.
The changing climate of this Global Gateway City has many homeowners and businesses seeking improved thermal protection and indoor temperature regulation for comfort and energy efficiency.
Internal or plantation shutters are fitted inside your window and door frame and consist of a series of horizontal, adjustable slats, resembling a sturdier version of Venetian blinds. They offer luxurious control of light, providing protection from the harsh Australian sun and minimising furniture, drapes and carpet damage.
Our shutters are available with optional lock options and can be custom designed to suit your home or office security needs. These locks can be key operated, remote controlled or with a combination of both options to maximise your home security.
