GENERAL SHUTTER QUESTIONS

What are plantation shutters?

Plantation shutters are premium, made-to-measure window coverings featuring adjustable louvres for privacy, insulation, and light control. They offer a timeless, elegant look suitable for both modern and traditional homes.

Are shutters better than blinds or curtains?

Yes — in many ways. Shutters are more durable, easier to clean, offer better insulation, and increase property value. They also provide superior privacy and light control compared to most blinds or curtains.

Are shutters energy-efficient?

Absolutely. Shutters add an insulating layer to your windows, helping reduce heat loss in winter and keeping rooms cooler in summer — a major benefit for energy efficiency.

What rooms are shutters suitable for?

Shutters work beautifully in any room, including:
• Living rooms
• Bedrooms
• Bathrooms (with moisture-resistant options)
• Kitchens
• Conservatories
• Home offices
We offer styles suitable for both classic and contemporary interiors.

What is Blind Screen™?
