Please note: working days exclude weekends, public holidays and factory closure periods such as Christmas 2024/25 factory closures are 19 December until 6 January. The good news is that by ordering over the holiday period we will be processing orders and you will secure your place in the production schedule upon the factory’s return.

IMPORTED

** see below – 35-50 working days for imported HONEYCOMB, FAUX WOOD, ALUMINIUM and PHOENIXWOOD blinds

** see below – 50-60 working days for imported SHUTTERS

** IMPORTED Chinese New Year.  The factory closes 25 January and re-opens on the 2 February (factory cut-off times are around 10-14 days prior to this, depending on the product type).  This unfortunately means that orders placed after the 13th of January will take longer to get here than usual as it takes the factory a while to catch up on manufacturing after the 1-week annual closure.  Generally, there is 3-4 weeks added to manufacturing times when they return to work.  Shipping is also disrupted as this holiday affects the entire country and everyone scrambles to get containers out in a hurry when everything is back up and running.  We expect shipping to take 1-3 weeks longer than usual in the 6 weeks following CNY.

Have a question about shutters?

Plantation shutters are a stylish and practical addition to indoor living spaces. Each louvre can be tilted independently for enhanced privacy and light control, allowing you to cover half, a quarter, or any amount of the shutter you prefer. Shutters also provide insulation for heat retention and noise reduction and allow coverage of raked windows.

Choosing a shutter style depends on your window and the room’s dimensions. Casement shutters are a popular option for casement windows that open out or narrow windows where only one shutter will fit. Bi-fold shutters, which can fold away on either side of the window, are suitable for wider windows.

NZ Blinds’ shutters are made from Norman’s Woodlore and Woodlore Plus. The Woodlore range is a renowned synthetic material. Woodlore uses a medical-grade polypropylene coating to achieve an even finish over the timber fibres and glue. Woodlore Plus is a durable synthetic material known as ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), ideal for moisture-prone home areas, such as the bathroom.

Woodlore is a high-density material designed to withstand everyday household activity. The absence of grain and robust dimensional stability also minimises warping.

Our waterproof shutters, made from Woodlore Plus, are designed for use in bathrooms and other home areas exposed to moisture and humidity frequently.

Shutters are a low-maintenance shading solution. A duster or soft microfiber cloth helps manage dust accumulation, while a damp cloth is ideal for removing stubborn marks.

Shutter measurements depend on whether you will install it inside the window opening or mounted outside on the window fascia. The width and drop (height) are the main measurements, but extra space may need to be allocated depending on where the shutter will be positioned. For more details, read our shutter measurement guide.

Shutter installation requires the following tools for a smooth and comprehensive process: measuring box, knife, drill, tape, P2 Phillips Screw Tip (100mm long), #6 Countersink Drill Bit, and a caulking gun. We recommend contacting a professional handyperson if extra assistance is required. Read our installation guide for step-by-step instructions and what to expect.
