Types of Shutter Blinds
Here at Half Price Blinds, we offer two unique types of internal plantation shutters: aluminium and basswood. Our aluminium plantation shutters are a timeless choice. The aluminium itself features light, durable and ductile properties that ensure the shutter blinds will stand the test of time. On the other hand, basswood offers a natural and stylish alternative to other timber plantation shutters. This hardwearing and stylish wood can be customised to suit any type of decor.
If you're fitting out any wet areas of the home or office out with plantation shutters, we strongly recommend water-resistant aluminium shutters. For all other rooms of the home, wooden shutters are more than suitable.
Wondering how to install plantation shutters? It's easier than you might think. Just follow our easy 'how to install DIY plantation shutters' instructions.

What are Plantation Shutters?

Available in materials like basswood and aluminium, these shutters are versatile and can complement both traditional and modern interiors.
How Do I Measure for Plantation Shutters?
