Every install you see on this page is a real CBI Blinds project, measured and fitted by Kyle and our local team. No stock photos, no rendered visuals — just genuine results across the Hunter Region.
A close look at four recent CBI Blinds installations across Lake Macquarie and the broader Hunter Region — each one custom-measured, custom-built and locally installed by Kyle and our team.
A full-house transformation across living, bedrooms and kitchen. Composite shutters were chosen for consistency room-to-room and resilience against coastal humidity. Custom-fit on every window, including a wide picture window in the lounge.
Premium Paulownia timber chosen to complement the home's natural-finish flooring and timber beams. The larger 114mm louvres deliver an open, architectural feel and maximise outward views toward the back garden.
A coastal home a few streets from the lake — moisture, salt air and afternoon glare all demanded a durable, low-maintenance material. PVC shutters in matte white delivered the look the owners wanted without the upkeep concerns of timber.
A character Hunter Valley home with a curved bay window, an arched window and a set of French doors. Each shape was custom-measured and individually framed so the shutter geometry sat flush with each opening — the kind of job most off-the-shelf products can't handle.
There are plenty of shutter companies out there. Here's what sets CBI Blinds apart — and why customers keep referring their neighbours.

Here's what customers across Lake Macquarie, Newcastle and the Hunter Valley have to say about their experience with CBI Blinds.
"Kyle was brilliant from start to finish. He came out to measure, explained all our options clearly and the plantation shutters look absolutely stunning. The quality is exceptional and the price was very fair. Couldn't be happier."
"The mobile service was so convenient — they came to our home with samples and took all the measurements on the spot. The shutters arrived exactly as expected and the installation was neat and professional. Highly recommend."
"We had plantation shutters installed throughout our whole house — every one is perfect. Fast, professional and outstanding quality. CBI Blinds were the best value of all the quotes we got, and the service was A1."

What Lake Macquarie homeowners ask after seeing our work and considering their own project.
Where appropriate and with the homeowner's permission, yes. We do our best to suggest a recent install in a similar style or material to what you're considering, so you can see the finish and operation in a real home rather than a showroom. Ask Kyle during your free in-home measure — he'll know which past projects best match your scope.
Almost certainly. With 40 years operating across the Hunter Region, we've installed plantation shutters in nearly every Lake Macquarie suburb and most of Newcastle, the Hunter Valley and Port Stephens. Mention your suburb when you book and we'll bring suburb-specific examples to your measure.
Everything from new builds to character heritage homes, single rooms to whole-house fitouts, beachside coastal properties to inland Hunter Valley homesteads. We've handled standard rectangular windows, bay windows, arches, French doors, bi-fold doors and unusual shapes. If you've got a window we can measure, we can shutter it.
As a general guide: free measure within a few days of contacting us, manufacture in around 4–8 weeks depending on material and finish, then installation booked as soon as the order arrives. Most whole-house fitouts are installed across one or two days. Specific timeframes are confirmed in writing at the point of quote.
We can give a rough ballpark figure from photos and window dimensions, but a final firm quote always requires the free in-home measure. Plantation shutters are fully custom, so the only way to give an accurate price is to physically measure each opening and confirm the right frame and panel configuration on site.
Yes — alongside our residential work we regularly install shutters in offices, cafés, retail spaces and short-stay accommodation across Lake Macquarie and the wider Hunter. Commercial quotes are tailored to volume, deadline and access requirements.
