Security Shutters
Bars on your windows don't have to mean bars on your view. As an authorised Blockhouse Shutters reseller, George Blinds supplies and installs custom-fitted aluminium security shutters that lock down your home properly while letting you keep the light, air and outlook you actually want. We measure, quote and fit every job locally, right here in George and across the Garden Route.
Real Security, Not Just a Deterrent
Traditional burglar bars and security gates do one job: they sit there and look tough. Blockhouse security shutters go further. Each shutter is built from premium aluminium and engineered to genuinely resist forced entry, not just discourage it. They're fitted to windows, doors and sliding doors, inside or outside the opening, so you can choose the setup that suits your home's layout and your budget.
Light and Privacy On Your Terms
The adjustable louvres are the part most homeowners fall in love with. Tilt them open for airflow and daylight, close them down for privacy or shut them completely at night, all without swapping out curtains or blinds. You get to dial in exactly how much of the outside world you let in, room by room.
Stack Them Back, Get Your View Back
When you don't need the shutters closed, they stack neatly to the side instead of cluttering the opening. No permanent grid of bars sitting in front of your view year-round. That makes them a strong fit for spaces where the outlook matters as much as the security: lounges, patios and any room facing a garden or the street.
Where they work best
- Kitchens and bathrooms, including weatherproof configurations for damp-prone areas
- Bedrooms, where privacy and light control matter as much as security
- Lounges and living areas with large windows or sliding doors
- Patios and outdoor-facing doors that need protection without losing the view
- Front and back entrance doors as a standalone security upgrade or alongside window shutters
Where they work best
Every shutter is finished with Qualicoat-approved powder coating, so the colour holds up against sun, salt air and coastal weather without fading or chalking prematurely, an important consideration this close to the coast. You can choose from a range of colour options to match your home's exterior or window frames. Blockhouse backs the product with a guarantee of up to 10 years, and George Blinds stands behind the installation on top of that.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Are security shutters better than burglar bars?
Burglar bars are fixed and only ever do one thing. Security shutters give you the same physical barrier but let you open, close or angle them for light and privacy, and they stack away when you don't need them. For most homeowners, that flexibility makes shutters the more liveable option without giving up on security.
What affects the cost of a security shutter installation?
Price depends on the number and size of openings, whether you're fitting shutters internally or externally, the colour and finish selected, and any additional weatherproofing needed for exposed areas. We'll only give you an accurate figure once we've measured your specific property.
How long does installation take?
Turnaround depends on the number of shutters ordered and current manufacturing lead times. Once we've measured and confirmed your order, we'll give you a realistic timeline for manufacture and fitting.
Can shutters be fitted to sliding doors as well as windows?
Yes. Blockhouse security shutters are designed to fit windows, standard doors and sliding doors, so you can secure an entire home consistently rather than mixing different systems.
