Timber Shutters

Timber shutters are an ideal way to add a rustic or farmhouse finish to the exterior of your home.
They can be painted or stained to a colour that best suits the exterior finishes of a home and effectively frame a window on the sides to complete the window treatment.
The slats of the shutters can be used to block light from entering through the window, or can remain in place for a purely aesthetic appearance.

Aluminum Shutters

Aluminum shutters are often a great option for using on the exterior of a home, since the aluminum is effective at blocking out light and can withstand many different weather extremes.
The horizontal slats allow homeowners to introduce layers of light, customising their desired brightness in a room at any given time of day.
These are sized to suit the individual home, and can be designed to open fully (like doors) as well as remain in place with just the aluminum slats moving to allow light.

The PVC shutters are made in similar fashion to the aluminum shutters and are a secondary option to those wanting exterior shutters on their home.
Not only do the PVC shutters effectively block out light from the home, but the PVC maintains temperature better than the aluminum material.
However, the aluminum material is typically more durable in extreme weather.

Rolling shutters are noted for their ability to retain the temperature within your home, potentially decreasing electricity expenses during the warm summer months.
Their insulation properties block heat and sunlight, which means you can run your air conditioner less.
Depending on the material, some use roller shutters for security when they’re made from a more durable material like aluminum.
Roller shutters are pulled down to entirely cover a window, and are typically more functional than aesthetic.
