How To Pick The Best Louver Size For Your Plantation Shutters

PVC plantation shutters in Sydney are a great way to add privacy and style to your home, and at a fraction of the cost of timber shutters.  

There are different louvre sizes available when it comes to plantation shutters in Sydney, and the right size will depend on your specific needs. The different sizes available include:

• 30 x 40mm: This size is great for small and narrow windows, and they provide very little in terms of privacy. They're open and airy, but not ideal if you want a lot of light or natural ventilation without too much direct sunlight.
• 37 x 55mm: A good middle ground between an opening with no shade or privacy at all (30x40) versus one that's completely closed off (50x100). This makes it ideal for large sliding doors or wide windows, as well as smaller ones that need some protection from the elements while still allowing enough airflow through them to provide a comfortable and cosy living environment.
• 42 x 70mm: The most common size that we see installed in homes around Sydney. This makes it ideal for large windows or doors such as French or sliding glass doors which can be opened wide to bring plenty of air through the house while still providing enough protection from direct sunlight so you don't get too hot during summer months.
• 50 x 100mm: This is one of the most common louvre sizes for plantation shutters. It's not too wide so it can be easily fitted inside a standard window frame, and the character of the shutter is still evident despite using such thick louvres (50 mm). The main benefit to this size however is that while you get maximum airflow when opening your windows fully during summer months there's also plenty of privacy if required by closing them part way or completely.

If you are unsure of how to choose the right size, it is best to speak to a professional, who will be able to help you find the right fit. Louvre sizes can also vary depending on where you live.
