Basswood Timber Shutters
Basswood Timber Shutters combine the warmth and character of natural timber with the durability and precision of a modern plantation shutter system. Crafted from lightweight, kiln-dried basswood, these shutters are designed to provide exceptional stability while showcasing the natural beauty of real timber.
Unlike polymer shutters, Basswood Timber Shutters can often be manufactured with slightly wider panel widths, reducing the number of panels required across larger windows. This creates a cleaner, more open appearance while maintaining excellent light control and privacy.
Basswood is prized for its fine grain and smooth finish, making it ideal for both painted and stained finishes. Whether you're creating a modern Hamptons-inspired interior or a warm traditional space, Basswood shutters offer a premium finish that enhances the character of your home.
Available in a wide range of paint and stain colours, Basswood Timber Shutters can be customised to suit almost any interior style while delivering precise light control, privacy and insulation benefits.
Features include:
✓ Genuine basswood timber construction
✓ Lightweight timber with excellent stability
✓ Smooth painted or stained finishes available
✓ Wider panel options than standard polymer shutters
✓ Fine timber grain for a premium furniture-quality appearance
✓ Hinged, sliding, bifold and fixed configurations available
✓ Suitable for shaped and custom window applications
✓ Available in a wide range of paint and stain colours
✓ Low VOC water-based paint and stain finishes
✓ Engineered to resist bowing and warping
✓ 15-year structural warranty
Basswood Timber Shutters are ideal for homeowners seeking the timeless appeal of real timber, greater design flexibility and a premium finish that complements both modern and traditional interiors.
SupaSpan Basswood Timber Shutters
SupaSpan Basswood Timber Shutters offer all the beauty and warmth of traditional Basswood Timber Shutters but with the ability to manufacture significantly wider panels. Designed for larger windows and doors, SupaSpan creates a cleaner, more open appearance by reducing the number of shutter panels required across an opening.
Where standard Basswood shutters are typically limited to panel widths of around 950mm, SupaSpan panels can be manufactured up to 1300mm wide. This allows larger openings to be covered with fewer panels, resulting in wider viewing areas, less framework and a more streamlined finish.
As shown in our featured installation, wider panels can dramatically improve the overall appearance of large windows by reducing visual interruptions and creating a cleaner architectural look.
Constructed from premium Basswood timber, SupaSpan shutters retain the same elegant painted finish, smooth operation and timeless appeal as standard Basswood shutters while providing greater design flexibility for larger openings. Reinforced construction and engineered blade designs help maintain long-term stability and performance.
Features include:
✓ Premium Basswood timber construction
✓ Extra-wide panels up to 1300mm wide
✓ Fewer panels required across large windows and doors
✓ Cleaner, more open appearance with improved sightlines
✓ Reinforced mortise and tenon construction
✓ Engineered blades designed for long-term stability
✓ SupaTilt and Clearview control options available
✓ Smooth painted finish to match standard Basswood shutters
✓ Ideal for large windows, sliding doors and feature openings
✓ Manufactured to high-quality standards for long-lasting performance
SupaSpan Basswood Timber Shutters are the ideal solution for homeowners wanting the natural beauty of real timber shutters while achieving the cleanest possible appearance across larger openings.
Western Red Cedar Shutters
Western Red Cedar Shutters are the ultimate choice for homeowners seeking the natural beauty, warmth and character of genuine timber. Crafted from premium Canadian Western Red Cedar, these shutters offer a unique appearance that simply cannot be replicated by painted polymer, composite or manufactured timber alternatives.
One of the most distinctive features of Western Red Cedar is its natural variation in colour and grain. Every installation is unique, with subtle differences in tone, texture and character creating a rich, authentic finish that adds warmth and personality to any room. Unlike stained timbers that often produce a more uniform appearance, Western Red Cedar showcases the natural beauty of the timber itself, making each shutter truly one of a kind.
Beyond its appearance, Western Red Cedar offers a sensory experience unlike any other shutter material. The timber's distinctive natural aroma is highly regarded and helps create a warm, inviting atmosphere throughout the home.
Naturally resistant to moisture and highly durable, Western Red Cedar is suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. Whether installed in living areas, bedrooms, alfresco spaces or custom-shaped windows, Cedar shutters combine timeless beauty with long-lasting performance.
Available in clear lacquered, oiled or painted finishes, Western Red Cedar Shutters can be tailored to complement both contemporary and traditional homes while preserving the unique character of the timber.
Features include:
✓ Premium Canadian Western Red Cedar construction
✓ Rich natural timber grain with unique colour variation
✓ Distinctive natural cedar aroma
✓ Available in clear lacquered, oiled or painted finishes
✓ Naturally moisture resistant and highly durable
✓ Suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications
✓ Custom shapes and specialty windows available
✓ Hinged, bifold, sliding and fixed configurations available
✓ Multiple blade size options available
✓ Warm, authentic timber appearance impossible to replicate with synthetic materials
✓ Every installation is naturally unique
Western Red Cedar Shutters are ideal for homeowners who appreciate the beauty of natural materials and want a truly premium shutter that becomes a feature of the home rather than simply a window covering.

Plantation Shutter Repairs & Replacement Louvres
Plantation shutters are designed to last for many years, but accidental damage can sometimes occur. In this recent Narellan repair, three damaged shutter louvres were replaced, restoring both the appearance and functionality of the shutter panel.
If your plantation shutters have damaged louvres, broken components or require maintenance, we may be able to help restore them without replacing the entire shutter. Contact us to discuss available repair options.
