About This Product
Plantation shutters consist of a frame with louvres (horizontal slats) that can be opened and closed to allow in more or less light and will enable you to block out the morning or afternoon sun entirely if needed. Plantation shutters can be made from a variety of materials. At Bosetti, we prefer the benefits of PVC and timber when it comes to quality shutters.
Plantation Shutters have many advantages over traditional curtains or blinds, including great light and air control, plus, they can also create total privacy for any room in the house. Installing shutters will increase your home’s value and appeal. Plantation Shutters are also the safest form of blind as they sit flush against the window and have no hanging cord that can be a safety hazard to children.
Bosetti can design, manufacture and install premium quality shutters to suit your exact window dimensions, allowing you to choose how and where the shutters are located to cover your windows. The final result offers you aesthetically pleasing window furnishings that provide privacy control and durable quality year-round. Plantation shutter frames can be made to fit inside the recess of your window or on the outside. Our team measure the windows before the design and installation steps.
Then, before we manufacture anything, we take note of all your custom preferences and needs. As a result, not only do you receive excellent quality service, but you also have access to a quality range. This means that the finished product is the perfect choice for your home.

Timber plantation shutters
There’s an exotic charm to Bosetti’s wood/timber shutters, they have glamour in spades and they are as comfortable in a contemporary home as they are in a traditional setting. As an added benefit, they provide excellent insulation and light control.
At Bosetti, we firmly believe that Basswood Timber is by far the best option when considering timber shutters.
Basswood is considered a soft, light wood that is easy to work with, and it has become one of the top choices for lumbers to produce lightweight wood products. This type of wood also has made its place in the commercial space owing to its odorless and finely-grained qualities.
What is basswood tree wood for?
Basswood is still valued for its soft, light, easily worked wood, especially for turned items and hand carving. It once was the material of choice for prosthetic limbs, but these are now made from synthetics. Other uses have included boxes, toys, woodenware, drawing boards, veneer, venetian blinds, excelsior, and pulp.
What is the advantage of basswood?
Basswood is very light weight and produces a fairly even and full to mid-range response throughout the entire band width. Many guitar enthusiasts agree that it’s well matched with humbucking pickups because basswood produces a lot of the same frequencies that pickups easily recreate.
In real terms, it is widely acknowledged that Basswood Timber is the tree of the future and excellent material to be used for timber plantation shutters!
PVC Shutters
We also supply PVC plantation shutters. These shutters have the look and feel of wood and are an alternative to timber shutters. They are great for wet areas such as the laundry and bathrooms; however, there is a myth we would like to debunk: PVC plantation shutters are not a cheaper product than timber shutters.
We are often asked for PVC shutters because of price, but the material costs for PVC are still very much the same as timber.
Features & Benefits of PVC Shutters:
PVC shutters are a lot heavier than timber, so that means the maximum width panel size is 750 mm wide compared to our timber product, which can be up to 1000 mm wide.
