Made-to-measure plantation shutters
We specialise in Made-to-measure window plantation shutters that are unique to you and your design. Shutters work on almost any window or opening, whether you are looking at plantation shutters for bay windows or simply a small WC window. We design and manufacture the best wooden and poly plantation shutters for your home.
The benefits of Plantation shutters
Plantation shutters for bay windows always look great and are a popular choice for most homeowners. We often recommend using a mid to large-sized louvre for bay window shutters, as it maximises the amount of light filtering into the room. We manufacture plantation shutters for bay windows of all sizes, from small 3-section bays to large 7-section bay windows.
We often recommend wooden plantation shutters for bay windows over heavier Poly shutters. The main reason is due to the size of the windows, plantation shutters operate much more smoothly in large windows if a lightweight wood material is used. We would also suggest using a mid-rail to support the centre of the plantation shutters whilst also enabling you to open and close the top section of louvres separately from the bottom section.
Bedroom Plantation shutters
Plantation shutters are ideal for bedrooms, thanks to the amount of natural light that can be adjusted to your preference, and the range of styles and add-ons that can be applied through The Shutter Studio.
In particular, blackout blinds combined with shutters help to truly keep the light out. Furthermore, blackout shutters have enhanced thermal properties, helping to keep your bedroom well insulated throughout the year.
As with any room, plantation shutters in your bedroom can take on any style to help meet your interior aesthetic. They can also be built with children in mind, with cordless options for younger children and toddlers.
