Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Feb 11, 2011 5:35 pm Hi Everyone, I have a window problem, in our formal living room we have a window 1200mm high and 1800mm wide. The Al Fresco is on the other side of this window. We would like to install a plantation shutter winow, however I can only find information about plantation shutter window coverings not windows. I need to know if such a thing exsists and if they are secure and weather proof. Can anyone please offer some guidance.

Hi thanks for your response..........what I mean is instead of a traditional glazed window I was thinking that we could put in a plantation shutter style window.....but I don't know how secure and weather proof this would be. Re: Plantation Shutter windows!! 4Feb 11, 2011 9:41 pm you mean like these? a friend of mine has them in her bathroom. I am not sure how secure or weatherproof they are, but if you google "louvre windows" you'll come up with a few companies that manufacture them and might be able to help you out.
