Frequently Asked Questions About Shutters in Brisbane

The lifespan can vary depending on several factors, including the quality of materials, the manufacturer, maintenance, and environmental conditions.

Generally, well-maintained window furnishings can last for a considerable amount of time. Here are some estimated lifespans for different types:

  1. Wood: Those made from hardwoods like cedar or basswood, can last anywhere from 20 to 30 years or more with proper care. Regular maintenance, like refinishing and repainting, can extend their lifespan.
  2. Vinyl or PVC: They  are durable and resistant to moisture, making them suitable for humid environments. They can last around 20 to 25 years or more, as long as they are not exposed to extreme temperature fluctuations.
  3. Aluminium: They are known for their durability and resistance to rust and corrosion. They can last 20 years or more and often require minimal maintenance.
  4. Composite: Made from a combination of wood and synthetic materials, they can have a lifespan of around 15 to 20 years with proper care.
  5. Shutter Styles: The style may also affect their lifespan. For example, fixed exterior window coverings may last longer than operable interior options because they are not subjected to as much wear and tear.

To maximise the lifespan, it’s essential to:

  • Follow the manufacturer’s care and maintenance guidelines.
  • Keep them clean and free from dust and debris.
  • Repaint or refinish wooden louvres as needed to protect them from the elements.
  • Inspect for any signs of damage or wear and address issues promptly.

Yes. They can help keep a room cooler in Brisbane, especially during the hot and humid summers. Here’s how they contribute to temperature control:

Insulation: They provide insulation by creating an additional barrier between the interior of your home and the outside environment. This insulation helps reduce heat transfer, keeping the indoor temperature more stable.

Sunlight Control: Brisbane experiences abundant sunlight, which can raise indoor temperatures significantly. They allow you to control the amount of sunlight entering your room. By adjusting the louvres, you can block direct sunlight during the hottest parts of the day, reducing heat buildup.

Ventilation: Many shutter styles, such as options with adjustable louvres, allow for controlled ventilation. You can keep the louvres partially open to allow air circulation while still blocking direct sunlight, creating a more comfortable indoor environment.

Energy Efficiency: By reducing the amount of heat entering your home, they can help lower your cooling costs. When you rely less on air conditioning, you save energy and reduce your utility bills.

Privacy and Comfort: They provide privacy, allowing you to keep windows closed and block out prying eyes without sacrificing airflow. This privacy and comfort are especially valuable in densely populated areas.

While they can be effective at keeping a room cooler, it’s important to consider the material and insulation properties. High-quality materials like wood, which has natural insulating properties, can be particularly effective in maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature.
