How to Choose the Right Custom Plantation Shutter
Choosing the right custom plantation shutter is not only about colour or appearance. The better choice depends on where the shutter will be installed, how much moisture the room is exposed to, how often the window is opened, and it all comes to the material options, louvre sizes and colour choices that you can pick by yourself.
Material options
PVC – Easy to clean and smaller sizes compare to wood ones, the moisture-resistance function makes it ideal for bathrooms and laundry rooms.
Aluminium – Extra long durable and stable, not easy to break, perfect for outdoor usage.

Custom Plantation Shutter Configurations & Window Types
Our custom plantation shutter isn’t just one size, the way the panels open should match how you use the room, how often you access the window and how much clearance you have around frames, handles and flyscreens. Below are the most common configurations we recommend, plus the window types they suit best.
Hinged Style
The classic option is panels swing open on hinges, either from one side or meeting in the middle. Hinged shutters are ideal when you want full access to the glass for cleaning, ventilation, or emergency egress. For wider windows, panels can be split with a T-post to keep each panel a practical width and reduce weight on the hinges.
Bi-Fold Style
Bi-fold shutters use hinged pairs that fold and stack to one or both sides. This configuration works well for large window spans, multi-panel openings and spaces where you want to open more often. Bi-fold needs a little stacking space, so we usually plan panel count and fold direction around furniture placement and walkways.
Sliding Style
Sliding shutters run on a top-and-bottom track making them a strong choice for sliding doors, wide openings and areas where swing clearance is limited. Panels glide past each other, so it’s important to design the stack so you can still reach window locks and handles comfortably.
