A Durable, Wise Investment

Shutters are more than a window covering. They make a striking feature in any room and look just as good from outside as they do inside, while giving you complete control over light and privacy.

Unlike blinds, shutters don't roll or lift. They're made of horizontal louvres set in a solid aluminium frame, which you tilt to control the light and open by swinging, folding or sliding the panels. They work beautifully on windows and doors, inside and on patios, and they add lasting value to your home.

  • Security option that doubles as burglar bars
  • 89mm louvres in a solid aluminium frame
  • Hinged, bi-fold or bi-pass styles
  • 6 colours from Satin White to Matt Black
  • Inside or outside, moisture resistant

Why Choose Shutters?

Performance, security and style in one long-lasting window and door covering

Insulation

Shutters act as a second layer over your window, keeping heat in, cutting outside noise and helping to save on energy bills.

Privacy

Tilt the louvres to filter the light exactly as you like without giving up your privacy.

Security

Ambi-MAX shutters double as a security barrier and a window covering, so there is no need for separate burglar bars, blinds or curtains.

Double Hinged

  • Pairs of panels hinged together fold back on each other, opening wider in a smaller space.

Bi-Fold

  • Panels fold concertina-style to the side, ideal for wide openings and patio doors.

Bi-Pass

  • Panels slide past each other on tracks. Perfect for sliding doors where panels can't swing open.

Aluminium Shutter FAQs

Can aluminium shutters replace burglar bars?

Our Ambi-MAX shutters double as a security barrier, with a 4-pin key lock system, stainless steel double locking pins and louvre locks, so they can replace both burglar bars and blinds or curtains. Ambi-LITE offers some security but is not recommended as a security barrier.

What is the difference between Ambi-MAX and Ambi-LITE shutters?

Both ranges look the same, with 89mm louvres, the same styles and the same six colours. Ambi-MAX is built as a high-security barrier with key locks and louvre locks. Ambi-LITE is the more affordable option for when you want the look of shutters without a high level of security.

Can aluminium shutters be used outside?

Yes. Both ranges are moisture resistant and suitable for windows and doors, inside and out. They are a very popular choice for patios and exterior doors.

How do shutters work compared to blinds?

Unlike blinds, shutters do not roll or lift up. They are made of horizontal louvres mounted in a solid aluminium frame. You tilt the louvres to control light and privacy, and open the panels by swinging, folding or sliding them, depending on the style.

Which shutter style is best for sliding doors?

Bi-Pass shutters slide past each other on tracks, which makes them ideal for sliding doors and openings where there is no room for panels to swing open. Bi-Fold shutters fold back neatly and suit wide openings.

Do shutters help with insulation and noise?

Yes. Shutters act as a second layer over your window, helping to keep heat in during winter, reducing outside noise and helping to save on energy bills.

Do shutters add value to a home?

Yes. Made-to-measure aluminium shutters are a durable, long-term investment that adds to the overall value of your property, and they look as good from the street as they do inside.
