Types of Shutters
There are seemingly an endless array of configurations and designs that can be created with Shutters
Shutter Designs
Full Height Design Shutters
Full Height shutters are made with one single frame, adding a mid-rail allows you to tilt separate sections of the shutter, controlling the light to get the levels to suit your needs. A mid-rail also means that you can keep the lower section closed, providing privacy, while the top section remains open, allowing natural light to filter in.
Cafe Style Design Shutters
Unlike our full height plantation shutters, the beauty of café style is that they only cover the bottom half of the window. So even with added privacy for your home, you can still enjoy the warming glow of the summer sun, filtering into your home.
If you want to accentuate your existing window features, such as stained glass, then café style shutters are the choice for you.
Only covering part of the opening they’re ideal for this purpose, as well as providing easy access for operating classic wooden sash windows.
Tier on Tier Design Shutters
They look and feel just like full height plantation shutters, but they have two separate panels – one on top of the other – that each function independently.
The beauty of this design is that you’re able to enjoy light flooding in through the top panels when open, whilst comfortably controlling privacy by leaving the lower panels closed. Opening the top panels echoes the look of café style shutters, whilst resembling the appearance of full height when shut.
Shutters as Doors Design

Shutter & Shade Design Shutters
Unlike traditional blackout blinds, the Shutter & Shade solution has an integrated room darkening blind, sitting snugly in its own channel, eliminating most light bleed from outside. As the frame overlaps the blind, you get a beautifully designed shutter to suit your interiors, as well as a stylish shade too.
If you struggle to sleep due to light pollution, this option might be the solution.
Special Shape Design Shutters
Increasingly, homes are imbued with all manner of window shapes and sizes – unique features can add character to any wall, roof or ceiling. But they’re not always practical and it can be hard to find coverings that fit.
Having an irregular shaped window or opening requires something a bit more unique. Our shutters suit all window shapes, no matter how curved or angled, small or large, so make a perfect alternative to off-the-shelf coverings like curtains, drapes or blinds.
Round, square, triangular, oval – whatever the shape, you can enjoy a premium, made-to-measure shutter system that fits both the space and your sense of style perfectly.
Conservatory Design Shutters
Traditionally cold in winter and hot in the summer, conservatory usage can be influenced by fluctuating temperatures. This is where plantation shutters really come into their own, as you can continue to enjoy the view while taking control of the light and warmth.
Tilt the louvres to suit you and control excess heat in the summer, whilst keeping more warmth in during winter. They can be made to measure any space and give you ultimate control over privacy and light, helping to protect your furnishings from the sun’s glare.
Velux Design Shutters
Hanging blinds on a dormer window isn’t easy, but adding shutters is an alternative that can be considered. They will add design appeal and practicality to the trickiest of spaces and give you ultimate control of both light and privacy, unlike solid, or fabric coverings.
Close the louvres during the day, to filter out unwanted glare, or to keep your home a little cooler, you can simply shut them and have an equally lovely style feature looking back at you. Skylights brighten any space and enable you to add light in more awkward areas, like slanting roof spaces.
