Outdoor plantation shutters offer numerous advantages for homeowners in South Australia, extending beyond their timeless aesthetics. Manufactured by Country, these shutters are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, such as rain, wind, and intense sun, ensuring long-lasting durability. The 'Endure' shutters are constructed from solid extruded aluminum with a resilient automotive finish, while the 'Entice' shutters have an aluminum core and a durable PVC outer layer, excelling in moisture resistance. The adjustable louvres provide effortless light control throughout the day, allowing for complete blockout when needed, enhancing privacy in spaces like bedrooms or home theaters.

Advantages of outdoor plantation shutters

The advantages of outdoor Plantation Shutters make good sense for South Australian homeowners. While agreement on their timeless good looks is virtually unanimous, considering outdoor plantation shutters on aesthetics alone is selling them short.

You can rely on either design to deliver many years of performance while retaining their natural good looks.
