This appears to make sense but perhaps someone with more expert knowledge could confirm whether this would make much difference. Re: Plantation Shutters - Timber or PVC? 15Jun 15, 2014 7:57 pm robbie55 I wouldn't put timber in any of the wet areas - we had PVC in the kitchen and timber elsewhere. The kitchen one always looked as good as new. The timber did swell a bit when it got only a few drops of rain on it and so the white surface cracked - if it was sealed/stained all round it might be OK but otherwise it didn't really work out. I won't say they're bad but the PVC obviously are a bit more hardwaring and as mentioned abovem the look is the same, the only time you'd know is when you touch them. Hey Robbie I'm slowly getting quotes, if you know of someone reputable let me know. I'm looking for DIY for most of the house, will need someone to do the front windows though. Re: Plantation Shutters - Timber or PVC? 16Jun 15, 2014 9:21 pm Can't remember the name but the place we used were in Crystal St Petersham. I wouldn't say they were the best but gave good advice and a good finish on time. I'd be interested to hear how you go with the diy ones. http://camdenbuild.blogspot.com.au/ by invite only please pm me Re: Plantation Shutters - Timber or PVC? 17Jun 15, 2014 9:26 pm robbie55 Can't remember the name but the place we used were in Crystal St Petersham.

We have friends that DIYed using www.iseekblinds.com.au and recommended them. These are wood shutters though so I'm not keen on these for the bathroom (doing the entire house). But I quickly did costing from that website and it worked out to be around $5000 for the entire house vs $2700 for roller blinds for the entire house. yep sounds good make the footing bigger to to allow for the pipe in the middle 3 7298 Plumbers 'can be' plumbers, made all the worse by self certification which the building surveyor invariably accepts as proof of compliance!
