WHAT ARE YOUR OPTIONS?
Making aesthetic improvements to the outside of your home can become overwhelming. A good place to start is with louvre shutters which can provide a transformative visual impact, and we can help you choose the best louvre shutters for your specific outdoor needs.
These are easy to install and use. They pivot inside the framework using C channels that are permanently fixed to the top and bottom of the application.
The vertical bi-fold/multi-fold design allows you to open the space completely. These versatile outdoor privacy screens fold together to one side, allowing you to let in maximum light and breeze.
The benefit of hinged louvres is that they swing both in and out, offering greater airflow control. They can include an L/Z frame for more free range when opening your shutters.
These panels can slide left or right across tracks that run on the top and bottom. This provides more options for privacy and sun-shielding.

Thousands of Newcastle homes are now enjoying the benefits of our expertly installed louver shutters. With more than 40 years of experience in home improvement, Modern has become a trusted choice for Australian homeowners. For over a decade, we’ve been delivering durable, Australian-made louver shutters designed to withstand the region’s challenging weather conditions, offering lasting style, functionality, and protection.
Louvres are individual slats or blades that swing open and closed to control privacy and regulate the amount of light and breeze entering the room or outdoor area. Plantation shutters with wide slats are on-trend with Australian homeowners who want a contemporary look. These louvred shutters are suited for inviting ambient light while keeping indoor areas out of direct sunlight or driving rain.
External shutter louvre shutters for outdoor areas are a savvy alternative to expensive motorised awnings and fixed windows or doors. Choose from aluminium louvre shutters, fixed panel louuvres, bi-fold louvres, hinged louvres, sliding louvres, and stacking louvres. All of these types of outdoor blinds provide different functionality.
Installing louvre shutters is a cost-effective way to increase your property’s value. Their striking aesthetic benefits can turn an ordinary outdoor space into something unique and eye-catching. Louvre shutters are easy to maintain and Modern Group plantation shutters are designed and built to last, made from the highest quality materials available to handle all weather conditions.
Louvre shutters allow for additional privacy on your outdoor patio or pergola area. This means that you can comfortably lounge in an outdoor area without feeling like your neighbours are snooping. Different types of louvres can slide or fold or stack to help you make an area private.
Louvre panels help enclose a space and provide weather protection. Louvred shutters can be adjusted and angled to help block out wind and rain so you can continue to enjoy your outdoor space even if it is drizzling. This also means that you can keep your outdoor furniture in top condition. Aluminium shutters are available in your choice of powder coated colours are a great option for providing better weather shielding and colour-coordinated appeal.

Our product range includes a wide selection of louvre shutters for your specific needs and aesthetic preferences. When making a choice, it is important to think of what is functionally important to you as well as what will look best for your location. Options include louvre panels made from marine-grade powder-coated aluminium that is lightweight but tough enough to handle Australian weather conditions.
Unlike wood, plastic, or PVC which have a tendency to warp or discolour when exposed to moisture or direct sunlight, aluminium is extremely strong and resistant to environmental pressures. It offers optimal insulation and protection from the elements and provides households with significant energy-cost savings.
Aluminium offers the best of both worlds by providing the longevity of synthetic materials while also emulating the beauty of timber. Long-lasting aluminium allows you to balance your needs for durability, style, function, and cost. Our Aluminium Louvre shutters won’t discolour, crack, warp, shrink, or lose tension.
Here are some of the in-demand features and benefits of aluminium plantation shutters that customers appreciate.
They’re engineered to cope with severe weather conditions and have been developed for quiet operation and minimal movement even in high winds. All blades and panel frames incorporate a high-quality hair-felt seal that keeps wind and rain out so you can enjoy the indoor/outdoor Aussie lifestyle in almost any weather.
Our aluminium blades are built to withstand 100kg over a 1-meter span and are the strongest on the market. Available in a range of powder-coated standard colours. Nylon glass reinforced pivots prevent maintenance issues associated with other rolling mechanisms.
Custom-made for outdoor areas such as balconies, pergolas, BBQ areas and external window shutters.
Multi-tracking configurations for resolving design and space constraints.
One concern people have is that aluminium plantation shutters have unsightly floor tracking systems. That’s not a problem with Weatherwell products that come with the option of being securely attached from a top fixing. Clients still get the benefit of a secure operation, without the unattractive floor track.
With guaranteed longevity and flexible design options built for Australian weather conditions, our customers get a wide range of benefits that aren’t available with other external plantation shutter materials.
