A look at our shutter styles.
Plantation shutters that are full height Perhaps our most sought-after design due to their beauty, elegance and the variety of windows that they can be fitted to.
Full height shutter panels span to the full width of the door or window and also offer the capability of opening independently louvre sections (we refer to this as an Mid Rail (also known as a Split Louvre).
Tier-on-Tier plantation shutters – Tier-on-Tier shutters are extremely flexible, since the top and bottom tiers are open separately from each other (not only the louvers) The window is enclosed by two sets shutters (an upper and lower) generally made to measure and fit the natural cracks within the windows.
Tier Shutters and Tier Shutters are usually appropriate in urban settings in which you need to keep your privacy in the lowest section or in homes that have particular large windows.
Shaped plantation shutters – Custom shutters are the best and often the only option to decorate an irregular or unusual window design, including arched, portholes, triangles curving, half circle oval, octagon eye, elongated, angled sunburst, and trapezoid.
Shutters can also provide a custom solution for windows that are located in roofs, gable ends attics, and eaves.
Plantation shutters in the style of Cafe – They cover the lower half of the window. Ideal and an attractive option for windows that are on the ground floor with a view of a pavement or street or first floor bedrooms and bathrooms that need plenty of privacy and lots of light.
Tracked/sliding Plantation shutters are commonly utilized in modern-day apartments, they can be a great solution for huge windows and expanses, including Bi-Fold doors and windows, wardrobes, pools rooms partitions.
They can be utilized in numerous other applications that traditional window shutters might be unable to accommodate or provide the same level of privacy and light control options that track shutters provide. Sliding shutters can be found in two systems Bi-Fold and BiPass.
Solid Shutters – Our most classic shutter design Solid shutters were originally placed on bay windows or sash windows in larger, more luxurious homes.
Usually, the shutters could be folded into boxes on the opposite side so that the shutters are completely hidden once folded.
If you’ve chosen the style you prefer, what do you do to select the style?
The first thing you should consider should be “Do do I wish for the shutters to fully open or do I imagine that I’ll utilize the louvres to alter the light that enters the building”?
If you would like to to open the window completely consider the location that the shutters open, is there any furniture near the window that could block this? Do you have to bi-fold the shutters so that this can happen due to the wall that is on the other or the other side. It all depends on the particular home and the look you’re aiming for.
Many people want Tier On Tier shutters with wide panels. However, this is typically not practical since in the event that the highest tier is opened and the panels can become an obstruction to another thing within the space. Therefore, the best option is to either fold them in two so that they don’t block the view, or go for an Full Height style where the panels are more likely to remain in their place. With a big Louvre (89mm or more) you’ll have plenty of light and visibility when they’re open.
