Homes have a feel about them. You notice it almost instantly when you walk through the door.
Sometimes it’s hard to put your finger on how the homeowner has created that atmosphere. Maybe it’s a unique piece of furniture or artwork. Maybe it’s the clean lines of a minimalist design. Or for parents of young children, maybe it’s the trip hazard toys scattered throughout while Bluey blasts from the TV (ok, perhaps the kids are the creators here).
But when you enter a room with Norman Plantation Shutters, you’re left in no doubt where the ambiance comes from. They’re both striking and subtle. They’re a feature, without dominating the space around them.
10 things you’ll love about Norman Plantation Shutters
1. Lighting control
Norman Plantation Shutters let you fine-tune the amount of natural light entering your room. With adjustable louvers (which can even be motorised), you can direct sunlight as needed, reducing glare or creating a softer atmosphere. Whether you want to flood your room with natural light or dim it for a more intimate setting, these shutters give you that flexibility.
2. Energy efficient
One of the benefits that often surprises is the energy efficiency of these window furnishings. Norman Plantation Shutters are insulators. They help regulate indoor temperatures by minimising heat transfer. In the summer, the shutters block out excess heat, keeping your home cooler. During the winter, they help retain warmth, reducing the need for constant heating. This results in lower energy bills and a more sustainable, eco-friendly home environment.
3. Enhanced privacy
Norman Plantations Shutters’ louvers let you control visibility from outside while still letting natural light to filter through. This is handy in spaces where you want to maintain privacy without closing off natural light entirely, like bedrooms, bathrooms or living rooms that face busy streets.
4. Quality and durability
Our shutters are made from timber sourced in North Queensland. They’re designed to withstand the wear and tear of daily use without warping, chipping, or fading. This durability makes them a long-term investment that adds value to your property and reduces the frequency of replacement or repairs.
5. Less glare for better comfort
For rooms that experience direct sunlight, managing glare can be challenging, especially in home offices or media rooms. Norman Plantation Shutters help reduce glare, creating a comfortable environment for both work and relaxation.
6. Good looking
Norman Plantation Shutters add a classic, timeless appeal to your home. And they’re not just for Queenslanders or Victorian-era homes. They’re stylish and sleek enough to complement even the most modern design.
7. Easy maintenance
Compared to other window coverings, shutters are often easier to maintain. Norman Plantation Shutters are designed with a smooth finish that resists dust and grime buildup, making cleaning easy. Regular dusting or occasional wiping with a damp cloth is typically all that’s needed to keep them looking brand new.
8. Air quality
Compared to fabric curtains, plantation shutters are less likely to be home to dust mites and pet hair, perfect for people who suffer from allergies. They are also naturally renewable and able to regenerate and the wood creates healthy living conditions.
9. Enhanced security
Looks are important, and these shutters have style in spades. But how easy something is on the eyes isn’t everything. An important benefit of plantation shutters is the added layer of security they provide. When closed, they form a more solid barrier, offering an extra deterrent for intruders.
10. Fit for any room
Norman Plantation Shutters are available in various materials, colours and custom sizes to fit nearly any window type, including bay windows, French doors and even arched windows.
This versatility lets you install them throughout your home, creating a consistent look while catering to the unique needs of each space.
