What types of shutters do you offer in Auckland?

We have worked meticulously to bring the best shutter systems for your home. All our shutters (aluminium, timber and PVC) are available as hinged, fixed in frames, bi-folding, panels only and sliding on a track (single or double channel).

What shapes area available? 

Our Auckland shutters are made to measure to fit the shape and size of your windows. In addition to standard shapes, rakes and angles are also offered.

What hinges are available? 

All our shutters including polyresin shutters in Auckland feature non-mortise hinges, which makes installation a breeze.

What’s the maximum available shutter panel size? 

The maximum size of the shutter panel really depends on the type of shutter you choose. For aluminium shutters, the maximum shutter panel size is 1350mm wide and 3600mm high. Do take note that any panel over 1200mm in width will come with a control on each side.

Do shutters keep light out completely? 

Shutters are not designed to block light completely. Although they offer better results in terms of room darkening when compared to standard or Venetian roller blinds, light will pass through the gaps between the blades, the panels and the shutter frame.

Do you offer sliding shutters? 

Yes, we do. There are two options – bi-fold shutters on track and sliding shutter panels on track. Bi-fold shutters on track typically stack one way if you like (either stacked to the left or the right) and offered in multiples of 2 panels.

Sliding shutter panels slide on tracks directly (not bi-folding). The depth of the frame for these shutters would either be 180mm or 220mm depending on the blade size you choose and whether the shutter panels must slide with the blades open or closed.

Can I measure the windows myself? 

When it comes to measuring a single square window, the process is rather simple. However, when it comes to measuring the angles of a bay window, it calls for our specialist surveyors. If you’d like a quote over the phone, you can measure the window and once we’ve ascertained whether you have special angled bay posts or UPVC windows, we can provide a better quote for your window shutters in Auckland.

When we install shutters on your Auckland home, you can have confidence in the quality of the product and the quality of the installation work. One of the benefits of shutters is that they require minimal ongoing maintenance. However, to keep them looking their best, you should occasionally do a few basic, quick, and easy to complete maintenance tasks.

The maintenance you will need to periodically complete on your shutters is mostly about cleaning. How you should clean your shutters will depend on the type you get installed.

At Weathermaster, we supply shutters manufactured from basswood as well as polyresin shutters, the latter of which is becoming increasingly popular in Auckland.

• Cleaning timber shutters on your Auckland home – you can use your vacuum with a soft brush attached to the hose to clean the shutters on your windows. This will remove the dust from the surface. You can tilt the shutters as you go, so you can clean both sides. You can also wipe your shutters with a magnetic dust grabbing cloth, but you should avoid using a damp cloth or water wherever possible as moisture can, in some situations, cause damage to the wood.
• Cleaning polyresin shutters on your Auckland home – polyresin shutters can also be cleaned with a vacuum or dust grabbing cloth, plus you can clean them with water too. This is because the polyresin material is not affected by water. In fact, you can also use soap if required.

In general, shutters are highly durable, whatever type you decide to purchase. Caring for them is as simple as including them as part of your cleaning routine. How often you will need to do this will depend on environmental conditions, i.e., how quickly dust forms on the surfaces of your shutters. A quick vacuum or wipe down using the appropriate method will quickly sort things out.
