FAQs about Tier on Tier Shutters
Each tier functions separately with its own set of hinges and louvres. You can open the top tier while keeping the bottom tier shut, or vice versa, giving you flexible control over light and privacy throughout the day.
Tier on tier shutters are generally more expensive than both café-style and full-height shutters. This is due to their more complex design, which includes two separate sections that operate independently, requiring additional materials and craftsmanship. While the cost is higher, many customers appreciate the extra flexibility they provide for controlling light and privacy.
We offer tier-on-tier shutters in:
- PVC/ faux wood (durable, moisture-resistant, and offering the look of real wood).
- Paulownia, a lightweight, sustainable hardwood with a smooth grain, available in painted or stained finishes.

What are tier on tier shutters?
Tier on tier divides the window shutter into two separate sections on the top and bottom, both of which can be operated entirely independently from one another.
Like with cafe style, you can have only the bottom half covered to give privacy at eye level, whilst the skies flood in, perfect for urban and suburban properties where you want to avoid prying eyes.
Equally, just like full height shutters, you can close them right up to shut the world out, and take full advantage of their classic styling. Whatever suits, you’re in control.
They're available in boh wooden and UK-made faux wood finishes.
Which Rooms Suit Tier-on-Tier Shutters?
Tier-on-tier shutters are the ultimate choice for versatile light control, making them a favourite for specific rooms where privacy requirements change throughout the day. Because the top and bottom panels open independently, they offer a "best of both worlds" solution that other styles cannot match.
Living Rooms on Busy Streets
If your lounge faces a public footpath, tier-on-tier shutters are your best defence against "passer-by" intrusion. You can keep the bottom tier closed and tilted for total privacy while folding the top tier back completely against the wall. This allows maximum sunlight to reach the back of the room, keeping the space bright without feeling exposed. On occasions where you want total light blocking and total privacy, you can close the top panels also.
Tall Victorian & Edwardian Windows
Tier-on-tier shutters were practically designed for the high ceilings of period properties. These windows are often too tall for a single full-height panel to be practical. By splitting the shutters into two tiers, you reduce the weight on the hinges and create a balanced, architectural look that aligns perfectly with the horizontal glazing bars of traditional sash windows.
Home Offices & Reading Nooks
In a home office, you often need to block direct glare on a screen while still wanting to feel connected to the outside world. Tier-on-tier allows you to manage light at different heights. You can close the top tier to block the high midday sun while keeping the bottom tier open to enjoy the view of your garden.
What Windows are Tier-on-Tier Shutters Suitable For?
While tier-on-tier shutters are highly versatile, they perform best on specific window types where their unique "split" functionality can be fully utilised.
-
Sash Windows: They are the "perfect partner" for sash windows. We recommend aligning the split between the top and bottom shutter panels with the window's middle meeting rail for a clean, symmetrical look.
-
Large Bay Windows: Tier-on-tier is excellent for bays where you want to maintain the "panorama" view. You can fold the top panels back 180 degrees, leaving the bay window feeling wide open while keeping the bottom tier closed for security.
