Fitted shutters

If you are looking for professionally fitted shutters then select the fully fitted option. You can request a home visit to have your windows measured and then your new shutters installed for you. This takes away the headache of having to do everything yourself.

What style to choose?

Full height shutters

A typical wooden shutter is fitted from the window sill to the top of the window reveal (recess) in one length. Taller windows can have a horizontal dividing bar that can be centrally positioned or offset. The bar will allow one half of the shutter to have the louvre blades open whilst the other half is closed. This simple style is called full height and is very popular.

Cafe style shutters

Cafe style interior shutters

Some home owners prefer to have just the bottom half of the windows covered by shutters, particularly where sash windows are installed.

This design is called half height or cafe style. Cafe style shutters go very well with sash windows as the top of the shutter has a natural bar in the sash window to align to.

Privacy is maintained at ground level whilst the un-shuttered top half of the window allows more light into the room.

Tier on Tier shutters

Tier on tier interior shutters

Suitable for taller windows, tier or tier shutters are actually two shutter sets, one on top of the other.

This will allow you to open the shutters independently from the other set (i.e. have the top half folded back whilst the lower half remains across the window).

These are great for retaining privacy from the roadside whilst allowing extra light to flood into the room from above.

Gothic arch interior shutters

Shaped shutters

Interior wooden shutters can be shaped to fit round, arched, or triangular windows.

In fact you can have your shutters built to fit most shapes.

Colour options

In the UK white is by far the most popular colour for plantation shutters as it reflects the light well and brightens up any room.

Oak, walnut, teak and mahogany stained finishes are available as well as a selection of standard colours and custom colour options to suit every taste.

Where to use interior plantation shutters

You can also have plantation shutters with the following options:

Patio doors might require a track to help spread the weight of the shutters for easy operation.
Room dividers will require an overhead track for ease of use.
Shutters with internal black out blinds are particularly useful in bedrooms where bright external light is an issue.
Electrically operated remote control shutters should be considered for high & hard to reach locations.
Plastic shutters are particularly suitable for bathrooms, wet rooms and kitchens.
