Window coverings do more than just frame your view—they dictate how much light you get, how well your home is insulated, and how much effort you’ll spend on maintenance. And let’s be honest, no one wants shutters that warp, fade, or demand constant upkeep.
At Total Look Blinds, we believe your shutters should work for you, not the other way around. That’s why we offer Thermalite Shutters, the ultimate upgrade from traditional timber or vinyl.
Shutters are an investment, so why settle for something that won’t hold up to daily life? Thermalite Shutters take everything people love about classic timber shutters and make them better in every way.
Here’s why they stand out:
Thermalite Shutters aren’t just a substitute for wood—they’re an upgrade. Stronger, smarter, and made to last, they offer all the style without the stress.
New Zealand homes see big temperature swings, and that means higher power bills—whether it’s heating in winter or cooling in summer. But did you know that windows are one of the biggest sources of heat loss and gain?
That’s where Thermalite Shutters step in. Unlike ordinary shutters, they provide up to three times the insulation of timber or vinyl, helping your home stay warmer in winter and cooler in summer—without cranking up the power bill.
Here’s how they help:
If you’re investing in shutters, you want them to look as good in 10 years as they do on day one—without needing constant upkeep. That’s exactly what you get with Thermalite Shutters.
Unlike wooden shutters, which crack, warp, or need repainting, or vinyl shutters that can become brittle over time, Thermalite is built to last.
And here’s something that makes life even easier: Thermalite Shutters come with a built-in louvre tensioning system. That means no tightening, no adjusting, and no fuss—just shutters that stay perfectly in place for years.
Not all shutters can handle steamy showers, splashing sinks, or humid laundry rooms. Wooden shutters absorb moisture, leading to swelling, peeling paint, and eventual warping. Vinyl shutters? They’re better, but over time, excess moisture can cause them to weaken.
Thermalite Shutters are 100% moisture-resistant, making them the ideal choice for high-humidity areas. Whether you install them in a bathroom, kitchen, or laundry, they’ll hold up beautifully—no swelling, no rotting, no mould.
Fire safety isn’t the first thing most people think about when choosing shutters—but it should be. Some materials can actually make a fire worse by burning quickly and releasing toxic fumes.
Thermalite Shutters are fire retardant, giving you an extra layer of protection in your home. They won’t fuel a fire, and in an emergency, having materials that don’t spread flames can make all the difference.
This makes them a particularly smart choice for kitchens and living areas, where the risk of fire is higher. While no one plans for accidents, it’s reassuring to know that your shutters aren’t a weak link when it comes to safety.
