Outdoor Plantation Shutters Geelong
The Brax Outdoor Plantation Shutters
“I often opt for a neutral palette with my blinds so that I can change up the decoratives seasonally.
If you do it right the first time with quality locally made blinds like those from Brax, you will only have to do it once! ”

The Brax Outdoor Plantation Shutters
Outdoor plantation shutters (often made of aluminium) bring the benefits of shutters to the exterior of your home. These sturdy exterior shutters are mounted on the outside of windows and doors. They have wide, adjustable slats that let you control sunlight, airflow and privacy from the outside. When closed, they cover the entire window or opening with a solid barrier of slats. When open, the panels fold back like doors. Outdoor plantation shutters protect your Geelong home from sun and rain, and add a beautiful, finished look to your façade.
All-Weather Protection
Outdoor plantation shutters are built tough for the elements. The frames and slats are made from marine-grade aluminium that resists corrosion. They are often powder-coated to withstand salt air in coastal areas or the hot sun inland. When closed, they act like roller shutters, shading windows and keeping the heat out. In cooler months, they can help trap some warmth inside. They also shield your glass from storms and can even deter would-be burglars (many designs include locking bolts).
- Adjustable louvres: Keep them tilted to let breeze in but block direct sun, or close completely for blackout.
- Security & privacy: When shut, they create a physical barrier; great for ground-floor bedrooms or west-facing windows.
- Low maintenance: Aluminium shutters simply wash down with soapy water; no warping or termite worries.
- Curb appeal: Outdoor shutters add a neat, heritage look (think Queenslander or coastal villa) and can boost property value.
- Custom shapes: We can make exterior plantation shutters for square, arched or even half-circle windows.
Year-Round Comfort
Outdoor plantation shutters make your home liveable in every season. In summer, tilt the slats up to let warm air rise away from living areas, while still blocking harsh afternoon sun. In winter, close them tightly at night to give your windows an extra layer of insulation. The result is a more consistent indoor temperature and lower energy bills. If you live near the beach, shutters protect against salt spray; in the bush, they can even keep leaves and debris from banging against glass.
Open shutters give you a seamless indoor/outdoor feel. On a nice day, fold them back fully and let the outside in. At twilight, fold them out to catch evening breezes. This flexibility is ideal for patios, pool windows or any room that opens onto nature.
