Re: Plantation shutters - if you could afford it, would you? 36Dec 09, 2009 11:00 pm I'd love to have plantation shutters Unfortunately they were (and are!!!!) way out of my price range! Aaahhh well. I'm happy with what i've got viewtopic.php?f=31&t=22766 - my build thread! Time waits for no man. Unless that man is Chuck Norris. Re: Plantation shutters - if you could afford it, would you? 37Nov 25, 2012 8:19 pm Personally I don't think the wooden ones are nice. They seem to look quite cheap. Just personal opinion... We just got painted basswood in our place, 3 bedrooms. Approximately $2400 installed. They are absolutely sensational. I wouldn't recommend painting them yourself to save money. They are sprayed in the factory and are completely smooth. You can't see any brush marks. We got them so they all open out, with the rod in the middle split. That way we can shut the bottom row and leave the top open and have privacy from the neighbours. Amazing stuff. And they are incredible for insulation. We went with Cost Less Decor Blinds in Essendon. Re: Plantation shutters - if you could afford it, would you? 38Nov 25, 2012 8:25 pm Im considering them for ensuite & bathroom in my new house.

Re: Plantation shutters - if you could afford it, would you? 40Nov 26, 2012 11:01 am I'll be getting them throughout, love the look and cant see how they would ever date. I first baulked at the cost though until I discovered this mob: http://www.shutterkits.com.au/ less than 1/2 the normal cost as they are supplied to you in kit form which you assemble yourself.
