About Generation Shades.
Transforming the industry through heritage, innovation, and partnership.
Experience, Transformed.
Generation Shades is a proudly New Zealand owned and operated wholesale supplier of premium window furnishings. We don’t just move products; we transform the wholesale experience. By combining a multi-generational family legacy in the shading industry with the next generation of manufacturing technology, we provide NZ and Pacific retailers with the expertise, reliability, and products they need to lead the market.
Our Identity: The Four Pillars of "Generation"
-
We carry decades of industry knowledge. Shading is in our DNA, and this family-led heritage ensures our partners receive advice grounded in real-world experience.
-
We stay at the forefront of architectural trends and material science. We provide the latest innovations in light control and thermal efficiency, ensuring your customers receive the most advanced solutions on the market.
-
Our products are engineered for performance. From high-tech ThermoPoly™ to sustainable Basswood, every shutter in our collection is designed to "generate shade" exactly where it’s needed, transforming the comfort of any space.
-
We don’t believe in temporary fixes. Our shutters are built to endure the unique environmental challenges of New Zealand and the Pacific—from harsh UV levels to coastal salt spray—remaining beautiful and functional for generations.
Technical Excellence for the Pacific Climate
We understand that the Pacific environment demands more from window furnishings. That is why our collection is curated to perform under pressure.
Through our partnership with global leaders in manufacturing, we offer industry-leading finishes including KnoxCote™ and ForgeCote™—advanced coatings specially formulated to resist fading, peeling, and flaking in high-UV regions. Whether it’s moisture-resistant shutters for tropical resorts or energy-efficient timber for alpine homes, our range is built to perform and designed to transform.
Partnerships, Transformed.
At Generation Shades, our success is measured by the success of our retail partners. We choose to wholesale exclusively to the best—the expert retailers who understand the value of precision and quality.
We provide more than just a Shutter Range; we provide a competitive edge. Our partners benefit from:
-
The most comprehensive selection of materials, colors, and custom shapes.
-
Multi-point, low-risk manufacturing facilities that ensure consistent supply.
-
Technical knowledge and quality assurance that reduces re-work and protects your reputation.
The Future of Generation Shades
While our foundation is built on the region's finest plantation shutters, our vision is expansive. As we continue to grow, our collection will evolve. We are committed to being the long-term, single-source partner for the next generation of New Zealand’s window furnishing experts.
