Welcome to Shutters Online
Why choose shutters?
Window shutters are equally well suited to modern homes and contemporary design schemes as they are to more traditionally styled homes and decor. Shutters are enjoying a sustained boom in popularity and are the UK's fastest growing window coverings product.
Plantation shutters offer a host of practical benefits that simply can't be matched by blinds or curtains.
From a design perspective, window shutters with light diffusing louvres also add class and a distinctive elegance that's a touch above the rest.
You can buy shutters in white and neutral paint finishes and a wide range of woodstain tones, so there's something to complement every home's colour scheme.
Practical benefits of shutters
Shutters offer great control over the amount light entering a room. This control is achieved by altering the angle of the slats and through various styles of plantation shutters including:
- Full height shutters: the simplest solution, these cover the whole window full opening;
- Tier on tier: separate sets of shutters are used for the top and bottom halves of the window, resulting in four sections that can be opened or closed independently of each other;
- Café style: these shutters cover most of the window, but leave part of the top uncovered, for a combination of privacy and incoming light.
By closing your shutters and leaving windows or doors open, you can also enjoy the benefits of fresh air whilst maintaining your privacy.
Shutters can also help to reduce how much sound comes into your room from outside (or the other way around!).
You can buy wooden shutters made from a choice of wood materials, which vary in price, apperance and benefits.
As frames and shutters can be mounted outside or inside a recess, they can be fitted to almost every style of windows (eg including bay windows).
