If you need a shutter that handles the outdoors, spans a wide opening, or takes a bit more punishment than timber can manage, aluminium is the right material. At Fair Price Blinds, we supply and install aluminium shutters across Adelaide and South Australia, covering everything from alfresco areas and balconies to internal living spaces and commercial premises.
The WeatherWell series is our external aluminium shutter range, built for outdoor applications where weather resistance and durability are the priority. These shutters are designed for patios, balconies, alfresco dining areas, verandahs and windows on any elevation of the home.
Being aluminium, the WeatherWell shutters can span wider widths than timber or PVC alternatives without flexing or bowing. This makes them well suited to larger outdoor openings that would be difficult to cover with a standard plantation shutter. Louvres are fully adjustable, giving you control over light, ventilation and visibility from inside.
The Avenir series brings the durability and clean lines of aluminium to internal applications. For living areas, bedrooms, bathrooms and commercial interiors where a sharp, modern finish is the goal, the Avenir is a strong alternative to timber plantation shutters.
The Avenir handles humidity better than timber, which makes it a practical choice for bathrooms and kitchens where ongoing moisture exposure can cause timber to swell over time. Louvres operate smoothly and hold their position without the tilt rod slipping.
Aluminium shutters give you precise control over three things at once: privacy, light and airflow. Louvres can be set to any angle, letting you block the view from outside while keeping a room bright and well ventilated. Fully closed, they provide complete privacy and solid weather protection. Fully open, they create free airflow across the opening.
For alfresco areas in particular, the ability to control wind and rain exposure without fully enclosing the space is one of the main reasons homeowners choose aluminium shutters over other outdoor blind options.
Aluminium shutters with locking hardware provide a level of physical security that most outdoor blind systems cannot match. For ground-floor windows and outdoor entertainment areas, a locked aluminium shutter puts a solid barrier between the interior and outside access points.
For commercial premises, aluminium shutters are commonly used on shopfronts, office windows and service areas where after-hours security is a priority alongside daytime aesthetics.
Adelaide summers are harsh and winters bring sustained wind and rain. Aluminium holds up well under both. Unlike timber, it does not expand and contract significantly with temperature and humidity changes, which means louvres continue to operate smoothly across all seasons without sticking or warping.
For homes in bushfire-prone areas on the outskirts of Adelaide, we can advise on shutter specifications appropriate for your zone. Ask our team during your measure and quote visit.

Aluminium shutters are used for both external and internal applications. Externally, they are a popular choice for patios, balconies, alfresco areas, verandahs and windows where weather resistance and security matter. Internally, the Avenir series works as an elegant and durable alternative to timber plantation shutters in living areas and bedrooms.
Plantation shutters are typically made from timber or PVC and are best suited to internal window applications. Aluminium shutters are stronger and weather-resistant, which makes them the right choice for external applications or wider spans where timber would flex. For patios, alfresco areas and outdoor enclosures, aluminium is the more practical material.

For both residential and commercial properties, this makes them a practical security upgrade as well as a privacy solution.
Yes. One of the key advantages of aluminium over timber is the ability to span wider widths without flexing or warping. This makes aluminium shutters the preferred choice for larger openings such as sliding doors, wide verandah spans and commercial shopfronts.
Aluminium shutters are low maintenance. A periodic wipe down with a damp cloth is sufficient for most applications. Being aluminium, they do not rot, warp or corrode under normal outdoor conditions in Adelaide, which makes them considerably easier to maintain than timber in exposed positions.
