From the first in-home consultation to the final adjustment, CBI Blinds & Awnings handles every stage in-house. Samples, precise measurements, Australian-made manufacturing and clean, professional installation — all under one trusted local team.
Every plantation shutter installation across Lake Macquarie and the Hunter Valley follows the same five-stage process. Transparent, hands-on, and managed from start to finish by Kyle.
Kyle visits at a time that suits you with full sample sets, measuring tools and design advice. No showroom required — we work around your home, not the other way around.
Material, colour, louvre size, frame style, hardware finish and operation type — every detail tailored to each room. You see and feel the samples before any decisions are locked in.
Your shutters are built to spec by trusted Australian manufacturers we've partnered with for years. Quality checked before they leave the factory, with clear lead times provided up front.
Our local team handles installation with care and precision. Clean drop sheets, careful sealing, full functional testing on every shutter — we leave your home better than we found it.
Manufacturer-backed warranty on every product, with local aftercare from a team you can actually reach. Adjustments, hardware tweaks or future additions — we're just a phone call away.
Three premium material options, each suited to different rooms and conditions across Lake Macquarie homes. Kyle helps you match the right product to each window during your free consultation.
The premium choice — lightweight, beautifully grained Australian-style timber. Adds genuine warmth and resale value. Best suited to living areas, bedrooms and feature windows where natural look matters.
Fully waterproof, highly durable and built to handle moisture without warping. The smart choice for bathrooms, laundries and humid coastal homes. Looks like painted timber, performs like engineered plastic.
An engineered hybrid — the look and feel of painted timber with the moisture resistance of PVC. The most popular all-rounder for whole-of-house fitouts where consistency matters more than mixing materials room-by-room.
There are plenty of shutter companies out there. Here's what sets CBI Blinds apart — and why customers keep referring their neighbours.

We partner with some of Australia's largest manufacturers. Products built to handle local conditions — Hunter Valley heat, coastal humidity and everything in between.

Kyle visits your home at a time that suits you with a full set of physical samples — timber, PVC and composite — so you can see and feel the options. He takes precise measurements of every window, walks you through louvre sizes, hardware finishes and operation styles, and provides a fully itemised written quote on the spot or by email shortly after. No fee, no pressure, no obligation to proceed.
Lead times depend on the material, finish and manufacturer's current production schedule. As a general guide: free measure within a few days of contacting us, manufacture in around 4–8 weeks for most products, and installation booked as soon as your shutters arrive. We confirm specific timelines at the point of quote so you can plan ahead with confidence.
Yes — both supply-and-install and supply-only options are available. Either way, we still come out to take the measurements ourselves to guarantee a perfect fit. If you choose supply-only, we'll talk you through what to expect on install day and you can call us if anything's unclear.
A standard deposit is required to confirm your order and start the custom manufacture. The balance is payable on completion of installation. There are no surprise fees — every cost is itemised on your written quote before you commit. We accept bank transfer and most major cards.
Every plantation shutter we supply comes with a manufacturer-backed warranty covering frame, louvres and hardware. Installation is also covered by our own workmanship guarantee. If anything ever needs adjustment, you call us directly — local aftercare, no overseas call centres.
Yes — because every shutter is custom-made, we can work with bay windows, arches, bi-fold doors, sliders, French doors and almost any non-standard opening. During the measure stage Kyle confirms feasibility on each window and suggests the best frame and panel configuration for the shape.
Yes. We supply and install shutters for offices, cafés, retail spaces, short-stay properties and other commercial premises across Lake Macquarie and the broader Hunter region. Commercial quotes are tailored to volume, deadline and access requirements.
We confirm the install window a few days ahead and arrive on time with drop sheets, tools and the full order. Installation is clean and methodical — frames first, then panels, hardware and adjustments. Every shutter is tested before we leave, the site is left tidy, and we walk you through care and operation before handover.
