Plantation Shutters
Apollo ’s quality range of Plantation Shutters have been chosen from the best possible materials.
Our aim is to provide you with the choice of best products available on the market,
that will suit your aesthetic and functional requirements.
Our range includes both Australian-made and imported shutters.
You can choose from the beauty and warmth of
Western Red Cedar, Basswood or Kiri timber Shutters
While these timbers are readily available on the market,
not all shutters are the same.
Many companies manufacture the shutters using dowel and glue joints.
Apollo’s range of timber shutters are constructed using Mortice and Tenon joints.
This means the joints are much stronger,
and this reduces the risk of joints separating under pressure of continual use.
All our timber shutters are ideal for designer homes with shaped, arched and circle windows.
In addition to our timber range you can also look at our Smartwood and Aluminium range of Louvre Shutters
Choosing the correct product and function is vital with shutters.
The right choice both works well and adds value to your greatest asset,
your home.
At Apollo, we have many years experience with shutters and our team are experts in the industry.
We can not only provide you with advice on the best products to suit your needs,
but also on what fitting configuration will be most functional.
For example, Hinged, sliding, Bi-fold or fixed panels.
In these days of DIY, many people try their hand at installing shutters.
Therefore the quality of the installation will affect
the function and look of your shutters.
Our team of professional installers are equipped to ensure that when your Apollo shutters are installed,
they will function and look sensational.

Kiri Timber’s Green Credentials
- Reduce Your Carbon Footprint
- One of the world’s fastest growing trees that can be harvested in 5 years and re-grows from the remaining root system several times over.
This avoids land erosion, river salinity and land clearing. - Huge leaves absorb carbon dioxide and add nitrogen to the soil when they fall.
- All parts of the tree can be used.
Flowers, bark, leaves, seeds, branches, and trunks. - Trees have the ability to reclaim ecologically stressed and degenerated land areas relatively quickly with roots that penetrate compacted and contaminated soils.
- Are phyto-remediators increasing the organic content of degraded soils.
- Plantation grown and processed on site.
- Low thermal conductivity with excellent insulation qualities to reduce energy usage.

Basswood (Tilia Americana) is classed as a hardwood and
comes from the Linden family of trees.
Basswood is naturally a medium density timber and, as such,
is ideal for blinds and shutters.
Being neither too heavy nor too light, Basswood still offers a reasonable amount of hardness.
This gives good resistance to knocks and bumps.
It has been selected especially for use in blinds and shutters
due to its many qualities,
including its resistance to bowing and warping when kiln dried.
The timber is Kiln dried to about 10% moisture, thus reducing the incidence of movement.
