Recent Installation – Elderslie NSW
This recent Elderslie installation combined sliding and hinged outdoor aluminium shutters to transform an exposed entertaining area into a private and comfortable outdoor living space. Split tilt blade operation allows privacy at eye level while still maintaining airflow and natural light.
Installation Types
Choosing the right outdoor shutter installation method can make a significant difference to both appearance and functionality.
Different openings require different solutions depending on access, weather protection, airflow and how often the shutters will be used.
Below are some of the most common outdoor shutter installation options.
Fixed Shutters with Top & Bottom U Channel
Fixed shutters with top and bottom U-Channels are one of the most popular installation methods for outdoor areas.
This option creates a clean finish with excellent weather protection while helping minimise light gaps around the shutters. It is ideal for openings where the shutters will remain in a fixed position.
Sliding & Hinged Shutters
Sliding shutters are a practical solution for high-traffic areas where easy access is important. Panels glide smoothly out of the way and can be installed with either a flat bottom track or U-Channel depending on the application.
This installation also demonstrates the Split Tilt option, allowing separate control of the top and bottom blades.
The panel shown on the far right is a hinged shutter panel secured with Flush Bolts, allowing it to open like a traditional door.
Bi-Fold Shutters
Bi-Fold shutters are ideal for larger openings where flexibility and access are important.
Panels fold neatly to the side, allowing large sections of the opening to be cleared when needed. Flush Bolts at the bottom help secure the panels in place when closed.
Along with the installation options above, we also offer three outdoor shutter systems designed for different styles and applications.
