Mossel Bay faces the Indian Ocean. Salt laden wind settles on surfaces, accelerates corrosion and degrades timber finishes faster than most homeowners expect. PVC is unaffected.
Mossel Bay faces the Indian Ocean. Salt laden wind reaches properties across the peninsula, from The Point through to Dana Bay and Hartenbos. That airborne salt settles on surfaces, accelerates corrosion and degrades timber finishes faster than most homeowners expect.
Timber shutters in these conditions need sanding, sealing and repainting every two to three years. The louvre mechanisms stiffen as wood swells in humid weather and shrinks when the berg wind arrives. Within five years, many timber shutters in coastal Mossel Bay homes are visibly deteriorating.
PVC is inherently waterproof. It does not absorb moisture, does not swell, does not shrink. The material is UV stabilised so it will not yellow or become brittle. For a detailed material comparison, read our guide on PVC versus aluminium shutters.
PVC indoor shutters (Custom Lifestyle Shutters™) are the most popular choice for Mossel Bay interiors. High density polyvinyl chloride with aluminium reinforced cores, they resist moisture, UV and temperature fluctuation without warping, cracking or fading. Available in bi fold and hinged configurations, white as standard, sized to the millimetre for your window reveals.
Aluminium security shutters suit Mossel Bay properties requiring external protection, particularly holiday homes and ground floor windows. Powder coated aluminium with a 3 pin locking system, 100mm louvres and a warranty of up to 7 years. Available in white, light grey, charcoal and bronze.

The Point and harbour area. Direct ocean exposure with concentrated salt spray. PVC is essential here. Timber deteriorates rapidly. Security shutters are popular for commercial properties along the waterfront.
Dana Bay. Elevated coastal position with sustained wind exposure. Holiday homes benefit from PVC shutters that require no maintenance between visits and security shutters for ground floor protection.
Hartenbos. Family oriented suburb with newer builds. Bi fold PVC shutters suit the larger window openings in contemporary homes. Budget conscious alternative to timber with significantly better durability.
Great Brak River and Klein Brak. River mouth humidity combined with coastal conditions. PVC resists the sustained moisture that causes timber to swell and stick. Established homes benefit from a shutter upgrade during renovation.
“Mossel Bay salt air is relentless. We see timber shutters on harbour properties that need repainting after 18 months. PVC looks the same after five years.”Duncan Kane Founder, Custom Blinds · 20 Years Experience
