How Are Plantation Shutters Made? | Behind the Craft of DIY EasyFit Shutters

Ever wondered what goes into making the beautiful plantation shutters that frame your windows so perfectly? At DIY EasyFit Shutters, we believe that every detail matters — from the materials used to the finishing touches that make each shutter last for decades.

In this post, we’ll walk you through the fascinating process of how our plantation shutters are made, what makes them stand out from other DIY options, and why they’re a timeless investment for your home.

Step 1: Selecting Premium Materials

The foundation of every great shutter is the material it’s made from. At DIY EasyFit Shutters, we use high-quality, water-based painted panels that are VOC-free — ensuring your home stays free from harmful emissions.

Each panel is crafted for strength, durability, and smooth operation, giving you shutters that not only look beautiful but are also environmentally friendly and safe for your family.

Step 2: Reinforced with Aluminium for Strength

What sets us apart is our aluminium-reinforced stiles and blades. Unlike many other DIY plantation shutter brands, we don’t compromise on strength — we enhance it.

The aluminium cores inside our shutters ensure your panels stay straight, sturdy, and resistant to warping, even in Australia’s humid climates. This combination of lightweight design and superior durability means you get shutters that last longer and perform better.

Step 3: Painted with Precision

Our shutters are painted using VOC-free, water-based paint, available in four elegant shades:

  • Arctic White (01)
  • Mist White (02)
  • Dove White (03)
  • Cream (04)

Each coat is carefully applied and cured for a flawless finish that resists cracking, fading, and yellowing. The result? A premium, long-lasting surface that’s as stunning as it is sustainable.

Step 4: Precision Crafting and Assembly

Every component — from the louvre blades to the tilt rod — is cut, sanded, and assembled with precision. We take care to ensure every shutter aligns perfectly, offering smooth operation and consistent gaps for optimal airflow and light control.

Once assembled, each shutter undergoes a strict quality inspection, so you can install them with confidence knowing they meet our highest standards.

Step 5: Designed for Easy DIY Installation

We know Australians love a good DIY project — that’s why EasyFit Shutters are designed for simple installation with our step-by-step guide and video tutorials.

Whether you choose recess fit or face fit, you’ll find the process straightforward and rewarding. No special tools, no professional installer — just your hands, a bit of time, and a stunning result.

Step 6: Backed by a 25-Year Warranty*

Our shutters are built to last — and we back that up with a 25-year warranty (terms and conditions apply).

It’s our way of guaranteeing that your investment will stand the test of time, offering you beauty, functionality, and peace of mind for decades.
