MYT Shutters is expanding its existing aluminium and cedar shutters collections with a new series.
“We have recently launched the Vertical Louvre Series that offers multiple solutions for consumers,” said MYT Global Sales & Technical Support Director Scott Sloan.
“Designed with sleek, vertical blades, this system brings a fresh, contemporary aesthetic to exterior spaces, perfect for homes or commercial properties seeking a minimalist yet impactful look. For added convenience, the system can also be motorised, offering effortless control over the louvres with the touch of a button.
“The Vertical Series offers a solution to overcome residential encroachment orders set by councils to prevent direct views into neighbouring yards. The Vertical Louvre series makes it possible to create unbeatable privacy, with panels as large as six metres wide by 2.8 metres high. The louvres can also be ordered fixed or adjustable, with the moving option featuring Louvre Locks and four preset positions, for an extra layer of customisation and control. Additionally, as vertical lines and minimalist aesthetics gain popularity in modern architecture, this series meets that demand, combining both robust functionality and contemporary appeal, making it ideal for both privacy and design-conscious homeowners.
Sloan notes that the market for exterior shutters continues to evolve, as more homeowners seek solutions that combine sustainability, minimalism, and functionality.
“People want shutters that not only enhance their home’s appearance but also offer practical benefits like energy efficiency, durability, and low maintenance. Demand for these kinds of exterior solutions is stronger than ever, as shown by the record-breaking sales we continue to achieve month after month. It’s clear that Australian homeowners value products that blend style with performance, and this trend is only growing.”
“Colour trends for exterior products are shifting, with bolder choices like Monument and Black gaining popularity in our offerings. However, neutral tones such as White and Surf Mist remain the top choices among our customers. These classic shades continue to provide a timeless and versatile look.
“We’re also seeing a rise in demand for custom colours that match existing elements of the home, such as roof or wall colours,” Sloan said.”This trend allows homeowners to create a cohesive and harmonious exterior design that reflects their personal style while ensuring that our products seamlessly integrate with their overall aesthetic.
“Despite some volatility in the construction and renovation sectors due to market shifts, our exterior range is exceptionally strong. We’ve seen that high-quality, durable products like our aluminium and cedar shutters remain in high demand. Sales for our exterior shutters have gained significant momentum, consistently setting company sales records month after month. Consumers are opting for premium, long-lasting materials that minimise future maintenance and replacement costs. In uncertain times, people are prioritising value, and our shutters continue to excel.”
