Every installation begins with a free home visit, where we assess the windows, show suitable samples and discuss the material and configuration that best fits the room and opening.
Why Choose Shutters?
Shutters give you flexible control over light and privacy, and a clean, fitted appearance at the window.
Flexible Light Control
Tilt the louvres to adjust daylight, glare and privacy throughout the day.
Adjustable Privacy
Louvre angles can help limit views into the room while still allowing daylight through, depending on the window and viewing angle.
Architectural Window Finish
Made-to-measure shutters sit closely around the window to create a clean, fitted appearance.
Additional Layer at the Window
Independent BBSA-commissioned research has shown that shutters can reduce heat loss through windows when correctly fitted and closed. See the dedicated energy section below for the detailed figures.

Most shutter surfaces can be dusted or wiped clean using the care method appropriate to the selected material.

View details →Shutter Styles for Different Windows
From Full Height and Café Style to bay, shaped and tracked systems, different shutter configurations suit different openings. Suitability depends on the window geometry, selected material and shutter system, which we confirm during the home visit.
Full Height Shutters
Panels cover the full height of the window in one continuous arrangement, with material and control options confirmed during survey.

Covers the lower part of the window for privacy at lower level while leaving the upper glazing open.

Separate upper and lower panel sets can be opened independently for flexible control at different heights.

How Tier on Tier Shutters Work
Tier on Tier shutters use two separate panel sets — an upper set and a lower set — each independently hinged, rather than a single panel with a horizontal mid-rail (Split Tilt). Each tier can be opened or tilted on its own for flexible control at different heights of the window.
Upper Tier Open, Lower Tier Closed
Demonstrates lower-level privacy while opening the upper part of the window.
Independent Upper & Lower Panels
Each tier is a separate panel set and can be opened independently of the other.
Tier on Tier Room Application
A Tier on Tier configuration can suit a range of rooms, subject to the selected material, window and environment.
Choosing Your Louvre Size

76mm Louvres
Balanced proportions suitable across many window sizes.
89mm Louvres
Wider spacing and a more open visual appearance.
114mm Louvres

We bring samples to your free home visit so you can compare louvre sizes in person before deciding.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do people choose shutters?
Shutters give you flexible control over light and privacy, sit closely around the window for a clean, fitted appearance, and are available across a range of materials, colours and configurations to suit different homes. Most surfaces are straightforward to keep clean, and every shutter is made to measure for your exact windows.
How long do shutters last?
Shutter lifespan depends on material, environment, use and care. Manufacturer warranties vary by range, and the applicable warranty is confirmed with the selected product.
Are shutters suitable for bathrooms and kitchens?
The correct material matters in moisture-prone rooms. Faux Wood, PVC and Composite ranges include options suited to kitchens and bathrooms, while natural Wooden shutters are generally better kept away from persistently humid conditions. We confirm suitability during the home visit.
Can shutters help reduce heat loss?
Independent research commissioned by the British Blind and Shutter Association and conducted by the University of Salford found that internal shutters can reduce heat loss through windows. See the dedicated energy section above for the study figure and context.
Are shutters child safe?
Shutters are operated without the looped cords or chains associated with some blind systems, making them a useful Safe by Design window-covering option for family homes.
Do shutters block out light completely?
Standard shutters are not Total Blackout products. Blackout Shutters use an integrated cellular blockout blind for enhanced darkness, but some residual light may remain.
How long does installation take?
Installation time depends on the number, size and complexity of the shutters. We confirm what to expect when arranging the fitting appointment.
How long is the lead time for shutters?
Lead time depends on the shutter material and configuration. Selected systems such as PVC and Perfect Fit can be available from around 3–5 weeks, while many made-to-measure shutter ranges are typically around 10–14 weeks. Aluminium is typically around 12–14 weeks. Your expected timing is confirmed before ordering.
How are shutters cleaned?
Most shutter surfaces can be dusted or wiped clean with a soft cloth, and the soft brush attachment on a vacuum is useful for everyday dust. The right cleaning approach depends on the selected material and finish, which we can advise on during your home visit.
