They are up to the stage of selecting colours, and like browns for bricks etc... They would really like white plantation shutters but are struggling to pick a colour for their aluminium windows. If you have white plantation shutters, what colour window frames do you have? If you have pics could you please post?

Southies is sure to know.... Re: HELP: White plantation shutters - what colour window fra 7Mar 09, 2010 9:25 pm Erin, I'm having white plantations and my windows are Merino/Paperbark. All the woodwork around the windows is white, and the Merino/Paperbark frames do not stand out too much at all. I can't show you photos as I don't have the plantations yet! I couldn't imagine black would look that good (my opinion only!), but it really depends on what style of house they are building. Mine was fairly trad, not modern, so light frames worked well for me.

My Mum and Dad have white plantations, Brown bricks and paperbark windows and it looks divine! I don't have any pics, though... Henley - Wilshire Mk 3 ... I love my house!!

We have just done colour selection. We have chosen pearl white windows, but Colourbond do not offer this colour for Fascia Boards, gutters etc. Closest they have is Surfmist, however we were warned not to use this colour for windows as it can look a little dull (matt finish only) and dirty due to the slight grey / creamy tones. I would go Pearl white, but then everyone's different. Stark white windows, blinds and woodwork will be really striking. Best of luck Greg.
