Shutter Styles

Full Height

Our best selling shutter style, these shutters are designed to cover the full height of the opening. They suit all types and all sizes of windows and doors. An optional divider rail offers practical and aesthetic benefits by giving you independent control of the slats on the upper and lower sections. Matching the number of full height panels to the number of glass panes in your window will give clean lines and an elegant look. Most people prefer to leave panels closed in the frame and simply adjust the slats for light and privacy. However if you plan to open your panels back each day then consider going for thinner bifolding panels.

Tier-on-Tier

The most versatile of shutter styles , also known as double hung shutters. Upper panels move and open separately from lower panels allowing maximum light into the room whilst retaining privacy from the street. We recommend this style for windows that are taller than wider. Think of a stable door. Top panels are designed to be opened back on a regular basis, so you should consider ordering thinner bifolding panels to allow the top panels to fold back neatly to the side of the window opening. These shutters work particulary well on taller windows in Victorian and Georgian properties.

Café Style

Café Style can also be referred to half height shutters and only cover the lower portion of the window leaving the top part clear for maximum light . If used in a bedroom or lounge then an additional window covering will be required for the top section to ensure darkness and privacy is achieved.

Solid Shutters

We offer Solid Shutters in our Paulownia Hardwood. Inspired by the Victorian era these solid panels can be supplied with either a Solid Raised insert or with a Solid Shaker insert. These shutters will offer the best in room darkness but do not offer the same flexibility as plantation shutters as they must be fully opened during the day. There is however an option to order a Combination Style shutter, with a solid part on the bottom and your choice of slat size & control rod option on the top section. A divider rail will separate the two sections but these combination panels are always full height and will always open as one.

Doors & Tracks

We offer a variety of installation options to suit different door sizes. Door panels must have a divider rail included in the panel as this gives taller shutters added structural strength. French doors with adjoining windows can be designed and fitted using multiple wood frames. Wider openings typical of large Bifolding glazed doors should consider a tracked option when home owners want to have unobstructed views to the garden. Tracked shutters are a great solution for both doors and room dividers. Shutter panels glide effortlessly across a discreet track system facilitating smooth operation. Tracks are available with hinged Bifolding panels or our double track system allows front and back panels to Bypass each other.

Shaped Shutters

Arches. Circles. Triangles. Whatever the unusual shape of your window or doorway we can make a shutter to fit it. Don’t think you have to settle for a blind on your Velux window – we can even make a shutter for that too.
