Blinds & Shutters in

Lismore

Plantation shutters can definitely improve the security of your home. Whilst they aren’t usually lockable, their timber or aluminum framing does create a sturdy, visible barrier between your fragile glass window and the outside! When completely shut, there’s no room for potential intruders to peer into the house; unlike simple blinds and curtains which can present an opening. At Timber-Tec our plantation shutters are 100% Australian made and sturdy, providing an extra deterrence.

Blinds and shades both have their place depending on what you’re trying to achieve. First of all, let’s look at the difference between the two. Whilst blinds are made up of horizontal or vertical slats, shades are usually made from a single sheet of fabric. You can adjust blinds to control the amount of light and airflow you let into the room – great for living areas! Whilst shades lack the same variability, they’re much more customisable and can be used to completely black out a room; something that can’t be achieved easily with blinds. These can be a better option for east facing bedrooms, where the early morning sun is not your friend! At Timber-Tec, we’ll help you choose the right coverings for each of your rooms.
