Full Height
Full Height
A single bank of louvres from top to bottom without interruption is ideal for more average or smaller height windows and allows maximum light to pass through. However, panels over a certain height will require a mid-rail for structural stability, particularly on tall sash windows or patio doors, this has the benefit of allowing you to independently manoeuvre the top and bottom sets of louvres. A mid-rail can also be positioned to suit any existing features on your windows such as top opening windows.
Tier-on-tier
Tier-on-tier
Tier-on-tier panels are set within a single frame, but allow the user to open either the upper panels or lower panels independently of the other, so offering greater flexibility. This style of shutter is particularly well suited to traditional Victorian sash style windows.
Cafe
Cafe
Cafe style panels are particularly suited to sash or split height windows where the user wishes to have more privacy at the lower section of the window, but doesn’t wish to block out the light all together, thus leaving the window completely clear and unobstructed at the top.
Bay Windows
Bay Windows
Available for box bays, angled bays and round bays, our solid timber bay posts can be custom made to any angle.
Custom Shapes
Custom Shapes
Shutters are an ideal solution for those difficult to dress windows whether they are circular, arched or angled. (any curved shutters can only be manufactured from one of our premium timber ranges, however it is possible for angled shutters to be manufactured from any of our ranges). We also have a range of timber shutters to suit Velux or Fakro windows.
Patio/French Doors
Patio/French Doors
Wide patio shutters are available on a standard frame or a track system and will require a fixed mid-rail for structural stability. French doors can have shutters attached directly to them with a custom designed handle cut out (only available in one of our premium timber ranges) they will allow easy access without the need to bi-fold panels.
Colours
The shutters are available in a wide variety of colours, we offer our standard range of colours including 5 shades of white as well as a selection of Farrow and Ball inspired colours for the timber ranges, but for a small additional cost you can have your shutters custom coloured to match.

Tilt Rod Options
There are three options to operate the louvres:-
Central tilt rod
Always gives a lovely symmetrical appearance even with odd numbers of panels. The tilt rods are a great option and easy to keep clean.
Off-set tilt rod
Looks best when using an even number of panels and offers a slightly clearer view through the louvres.
Easy tilt
Louvres
The louvres (horizontal slats) allow you to easily adjust the amount of light you wish to have in the room and are available in a variety of sizes.
Our designer can help you to decide which size is best suited to your requirements, so that if you wish to have a higher level of privacy for example, then perhaps a medium or smaller louvre would be more suitable, whereas a larger louvre may offer you better views over a private garden area, whilst still giving you full control over the light.
