Plantation Shutters
Plantation Shutters are an extremely popular window feature. Not only do they add style and value to a home, they also are
practical. Plantation Shutters can reduce direct heat from the sun through a window, as well as brightness in a room or on a deck or patio. Plantations are made from a number of materials but the most popular are Plastic, Timber and some more advanced materials such as “Thermalite” MHI supplies and fits the Thermalite product due to its many more advanced properties. Thermalite Shutters are a more
advanced material and has higher tolerances to heat; it is therefore less likely to warp or bend over time. MHI Shutters are
also able to withstand the effects of moisture in bathrooms or kitchens.
To reinforce the blades – particularly the longer ones – MHI Shutters have aluminium reinforcement through the middle to strengthen
them, and thus avoid sagging or warping. Expert fitting and fixing of the shutter also plays a key role in the shutter’s long term functionality. Using cheap hinges, incorrect hinges and poor workmanship will lead to problems such as doors sagging and not closing properly etc.
Beware of cheap (and nasty) Plantation Shutters.
A lot of Plantation Shutters are coming in via containers pre-fabricated in China. These budget Plantations are fraught with
issues and definitely do NOT have long-term viability; they really only suit the developer or property flipper. Issues arise if minor adjustments need to be made, or if there is a manufacture error. MHI Shutters are manufactured in Brisbane and have a very quick turnaround in the highly unlikely event of an issue arising. Compare this to pre-manufactured shutters which must be sent back to China for modifications.
MHI Plantation Shutters come with a 5-year Paint Warranty and a 25-year Manufacturer’s Warranty – this is one of the longest
in the industry. By investing in quality shutters, you really can change the look and feel of any room or home. They add
value and function to every home. No more faded, dusty curtains.
