Shutters

Choosing the right shutter style depends entirely on your window's function, the room's privacy needs, and the amount of natural light you wish to control.

 

Full Height Shutters

Full height shutters are our most popular style. They cover the entire window, with panels that go from top to bottom.

 

Why choose them?

If you want a complete, classic look that offers maximum privacy and flexible light control, full height shutters are the best option. They provide the cleanest, most uniform appearance and are suitable for almost any standard-sized window.

 

 

 

Tier on Tier Shutters

Tier on Tier shutters feature separate top and bottom panels that operate independently.

 

Why choose them?

Choose this style if you want ultimate flexibility. You can open the top half for full light while keeping the bottom half closed for privacy.

 

 

 

Café-Style Shutters

This style covers the lower half of the window, leaving the top section open.

 

Why choose them?

Cafe style shutters provide essential street-level privacy while allowing maximum natural light to stream in through the uncovered top section. They are ideal for kitchens, dining rooms, or ground-floor, street-facing rooms.

 

 

 

Solid Shutters

Unlike the louvred styles, solid panel shutters feature smooth, wooden panels.

 

Why choose them?

If your primary need is total darkness and/or superior insulation and noise reduction. The solid panels offer the highest level of light and temperature control, making them perfect for bedrooms and nurseries.

Consider this style if you have a period home, as they replicate the original window coverings found in properties from the Georgian, Victorian, and Edwardian eras, offering a perfectly authentic and timeless look.

 

 

 

 

Perfect Fit Shutters

These no-drill shutters are specifically designed to fit directly into the uPVC frame of your windows and doors without the need for drilling or screws.

 

Why choose them?

Perfect Fit Shutters are the easiest and quickest to install. They clip straight onto the existing window frame and move seamlessly with the window or door when opened and closed, creating a highly integrated and clean aesthetic. If you need window coverings for a conservatory, tilt-and-turn window or French doors, Perfect Fit shutters are ideal.

The cost of shutter blinds depends primarily on the material, the size of your windows, and whether you choose a professional full-service installation or a cost-saving DIY approach.

In the UK, plantation shutters typically cost £200 - £350 per square metre.

• Full-Service Installation: Choosing a full-service shutter measure and professional installation will typically cost £350+ per square metre.

• DIY Self-Installation: By self-installing your DIY shutters, you can make significant savings. Our shutter blind prices begin at £204.00 per square metre, potentially saving you 40% on the cost of your shutters without compromising on the quality, look, and feel.

While prices vary depending on the size, style, and material, our made-to-measure shutters start from under £50. Because they're designed for self-installation, they are much more affordable than traditional measure-and-fit services. They are a long-term investment in style, privacy, and insulation.

Yes, absolutely. Shutters are often considered one of the few window dressings that truly contribute to your property's resale value and overall appeal, making them a worthwhile long-term investment. 

Custom-fitted shutters are viewed by buyers and surveyors as a permanent fixture and a premium home improvement. They significantly enhance your property's:

• Kerb Appeal: The clean, uniform lines of shutters offer an architectural upgrade, instantly boosting the aesthetic appeal of your home's exterior. 

• Built-in Benefits: Buyers appreciate the inclusion of durable, low-maintenance, and energy-efficient window coverings that they won't have to purchase and install themselves.

 

Yes, shutters are an energy-efficient window dressing and are scientifically proven to significantly reduce heat loss through windows, which helps to lower heating bills.

 

Evidence from the British Blind and Shutter Association (BBSA), which commissioned research from the University of Salford's Energy House Laboratory, confirms their effectiveness:

 

• Heat Loss Reduction: Internal plantation shutters were shown to reduce heat loss through a modern, double-glazed window by up to 28% when fully closed.

• Insulating Effect: Shutters, when fitted snugly, create a pocket of still air between the window pane and the shutter panel. This stationary layer of air acts as an effective thermal barrier, slowing down the transfer of heat.

• Seasonal Use: The BBSA advises customers to use shutters as a "thermostat for your windows":

  • In Winter: Open them during sunny daylight hours to capture free solar heat, and close them at night to provide extra insulation and minimise heat loss.

  • In Summer: Close them during the day to block solar heat gain, helping to keep rooms cooler and reducing the need for air conditioning.
