Window coverings in a bathroom must be, first and foremost, practical.

Fortunately, shutters offer a permanent solution for your home.

Plantation shutters are perfect for bathrooms.

They are easy to clean, provide unmatched privacy, and promote ventilation to combat mould and mildew.

Elegant louvres offer infinite adjustability, allowing you to strike the perfect balance between natural light and privacy.

In addition to their functionality, bathroom shutters are incredibly stylish.

With a wide range of colours and styles available, shutters are an excellent way to complement your bathroom’s interior design.
Keep reading to learn more about the benefits that make plantation shutters the best choice for a bathroom.

Quality Polymer Shutters Stand Up to Bathroom Humidity

When it comes to selecting the right window covering for your bathroom, moisture resistance is the most essential characteristic to consider.

You don’t want to end up with soaked blinds that retain moisture—even a few drops of water can harbour bacteria and make the blades bow or warp if exposed to rapid temperature shifts.

The Australian-madeMYT bathroom shutters are crafted from a specially formulated virgin polymer and further reinforced with a patented aluminium core to provide:

• • • Lasting durability
    • Exceptional moisture resistance
    • Splashproof surface
    • Fade-resistant colour finish
    • Lightweight construction

Additionally, polymer shutters are incredibly easy to clean and maintain.

Simply wipe them down occasionally for a hygienic and pristine bathroom with minimal effort.

More Light, Enhanced Privacy

A common issue Australian homeowners face is a lack of natural light in their bathrooms.

Bathroom windows tend to be much smaller than regular windows to ensure privacy while still letting some light and air in for ventilation.

Adding window coverings to these small windows can further restrict natural light, making tiny bathroom spaces feel even more cramped and dark.

The good news is that there’s a solution that doesn’t make any compromises.

MYT’s made-to-measure polymer shutters feature a robust 40mm side stile, which allows significantly more light through than the standard 51mm stile seen on other plantation shutters.

This unique design lets you enjoy a brighter bathroom without sacrificing control over your privacy.

Stay Comfortable, Save on Bills

Nobody likes a chilly bathroom in winter or a hot and steamy one in summer.

Fortunately, plantation shutters are a long-lasting solution that helps create a more comfortable year-round temperature in Australian homes.

The perfect fit also gives you more light and air control over your bathroom.

Dual closure blades that open and close both ways let you effortlessly fine-tune your bathroom’s climate:

• • • Tilt the blades up to circulate warm air out on hot summer days.
    • Tilt the blades down to trap warm air in winter while still allowing excess moisture and humidity to escape.

The Most Sustainable Option

The most sustainable window coverings are the ones that can stand the test of time.

In the manufacturing facilities in Seven Hills, Sydney, MYT Shutters works tirelessly to ensure that its shutters are crafted with exceptional quality and durability.

Unlike blinds and curtains that require frequent replacements, bathroom plantation shutters are a permanent and sustainable household upgrade built to last a lifetime.

Crafted with an impressively dimensionally stable polymer and a patented aluminium core, these shutters can withstand the extreme temperature swings and humidity levels of a bathroom environment.

To minimise the ecological impact of its production processes, MYT Shutters only uses water-based, low-VOC paints, filters and reuses its water, recycles 100% of the cut-offs, and uses 100% polystyrene-free, fully recyclable packaging.

Match Your Bathroom Design

Your bathroom reflects your unique taste.

That’s why MYT Shutters offers custom colour matching to ensure your new shutters blend flawlessly with the rest of your bathroom.

The silky-smooth finish is unparalleled and won’t lose its pristine shine, even after prolonged exposure to humid bathroom environments.
