Expert Tips for Wooden Shutters
Wondering about wooden window shutters? At Aspect, we’ve been supplying beautiful wooden shutters to Kiwis for over a decade. Now, we’re sharing a little of that knowledge to help you choose the best wooden shutters for your place and budget – starting with these essential questions.
- Where will they be installed?
Have a think about the different rooms you’d like to install your shutters in:
- Lounge, bedroom, or hallway? A timber plantation shutter is the perfect option.
- Kitchen, bathroom, or laundry? Polymer louvre shutters are ideal for these wet and humid spaces.
- Outdoor area? Exterior aluminium shutters offer a winning combination of style and durability.
As you may have guessed, our extensive range lets you create your ideal look for any window in your home – or at the office.
- Do you know the best way to use them?
Unlike blinds or curtains, the full shutter panel frame should stay ‘closed’ against the window. To adjust the amount of light simply tilt the horizontal shutter blades. This also allows you to:
- Regulate the level of airflow
- Add privacy – screen-out the neighbours, while still enjoying outdoor views
Of course, you can easily open the shutter panel when it’s time for a window clean. (Don’t miss these handy maintenance tips to keep them gleaming).
- Is budget a priority?
You’ll be pleasantly surprised with the affordable Uno Shutter collection, which complements our premium and exterior shutter ranges. This is:
- Available in select neutral shades

- Competitively priced to suit your budget

- How are they manufactured?
Quality is key when it comes to wooden shutters. Check they are manufactured with:
- Solid panels – to ensure they won’t warp or bend over time
- Sustainable hardwood – ideally, a fast-growing and ecologically-friendly timber
- UV resistant and environmentally-friendly paints – that are low VOC and water-based
As a 100% Kiwi-owned, family-run company, you can be confident that our shutter ranges satisfy all these standards – and much more!
