    FAQ About Blinds Merewether

    Can you have shutters and blinds together in Merewether homes?

    Absolutely! In many Merewether homes, especially those with large windows or sliding doors facing the ocean, we often combine shutters and blinds for maximum flexibility. For example, we might install plantation shutters on the bottom half of a window for privacy while using a light-filtering blind on the top portion to maintain those beautiful Merewether beach views. This combination works wonderfully in the Junction area’s character homes where you want to preserve heritage features while adding modern functionality. During consultations, we can show you examples of how other Merewether homeowners have successfully combined these treatments.

    Are shutter blinds a good idea for Merewether properties?

    For Merewether homes, shutter blinds are an excellent investment, particularly if you’re within 1km of the beach. The salt air and intense UV radiation in our coastal suburb can deteriorate regular blinds quickly, but quality shutter blinds stand up to these conditions remarkably well. For homes in Merewether Heights, shutters provide excellent insulation against western sun in summer and heat loss in winter. Many of our clients in newer developments along Scenic Drive choose shutters for their clean, contemporary aesthetic that complements modern architecture while providing superior climate control.

    Do shutters look better with or without curtains in Merewether homes?

    This largely depends on your home’s style and your personal preferences. In Merewether’s modern beachfront properties, we typically recommend shutters without curtains for a clean, minimalist look that maximizes those ocean views. However, in many of the beautiful Federation and Californian bungalows around The Junction and central Merewether, combining shutters with light, decorative curtains adds warmth and character that complements these heritage homes beautifully. About 60% of our Merewether clients choose shutters without curtains, while 40% opt for a combination, especially in formal living areas and master bedrooms.

    How much should I budget for shutters in Merewether?

    For quality shutters that can withstand Merewether’s coastal conditions, budget between $300-$550 per square meter, installed. The variation depends on material choice and design complexity. For a standard three-bedroom Merewether home, most of our clients invest between $6,000-$12,000 for full-house shutter installation. Homes along the beachfront with larger windows typically require a higher investment of $15,000-$25,000, but these properties also see the greatest benefit from shutters’ UV protection and insulation properties. We offer flexible payment options that many of our Merewether clients appreciate, especially when doing comprehensive installations.

    Where should you not use plantation shutters in Merewether homes?

    While plantation shutters work beautifully in most Merewether homes, we generally don’t recommend them for south-facing windows in older homes where maximizing natural light is essential, particularly during winter. Some of the smaller miners’ cottages in central Merewether benefit more from space-saving roller blinds in narrow hallways or compact bathrooms. Additionally, for rooms where you want to maintain uninterrupted ocean or city views (particularly in homes along Scenic Drive), other window treatment options might better serve your needs. During in-home consultations, we assess each window individually to recommend the most appropriate solution.
