The Power of Large Shutter Panels: Maximizing Your Window Design with Apollo NZ
Shutters are more than just window coverings; they’re a defining element in the design and feel of your home. With modern architecture embracing expansive window layouts and open views, choosing the right shutters is more important than ever. At Apollo NZ, we understand the balance between style, practicality, and cost – especially when it comes to large window shutters.
The Challenge: Matching Shutters to Large Windows
Today’s homes feature larger, more complex windows. While these provide more light and beautiful outdoor views, they also present challenges when it comes to fitting shutters. Most homeowners prefer minimal shutter panels – ideally just two – to match their modern interior style. But with traditional panel size limitations, achieving that clean, uncluttered look becomes difficult.
To accommodate larger windows, many shutter suppliers add more panels and supporting elements like T-posts. Unfortunately, this disrupts the flow and introduces visual clutter, reducing the impact of the large, open windows that define so many contemporary homes.
More Panels = Higher Costs
Extra shutter panels also mean higher material and labour costs. With more components like hinges and T-posts, plus the time and expertise needed to install them, your window treatment budget can escalate quickly – especially if you're outfitting an entire home.
That’s where Apollo NZ offers a clear advantage.
The Apollo NZ Advantage: Market-Leading Max Panel Sizes
At Apollo NZ, we provide larger shutter panel sizes than most standard suppliers – giving you the freedom to design without compromise.
PVC Shutters: Maximum panel width of 950mm
Basswood Shutters: Maximum panel width of 1080mm
These sizes are among the largest in the New Zealand market, allowing for fewer panels per window. This not only maintains the sleek and minimal look modern homeowners love, but also reduces installation complexity and overall costs.
Need Even Larger Panels? We’ve Got You Covered
For those truly oversized or uniquely shaped windows, custom solutions are available. In fact, we’ve crafted Basswood shutter panels up to 1400mm wide in certain projects. While special conditions apply to ensure long-term performance and stability, these options allow us to deliver stunning, seamless window designs that set your home apart.
With Apollo NZ, you're not locked into standard options. We collaborate with homeowners, designers, and builders to create tailored shutter solutions that match your vision and space perfectly.
