Cafe Style shutters are designed to cover only the lower portion of the window, typically up to the halfway point or slightly above. This provides privacy for the lower half of the room while leaving the upper part open to natural light and views.

Because they cover just the bottom half of the window, Cafe Style shutters offer excellent control over light and privacy. You can adjust the louvers to allow in the desired amount of light while maintaining privacy from the outside.

These shutters have a charming, classic look that can complement various interior styles, from traditional to contemporary. They are particularly popular in cafes and restaurants, which is where they get their name, but they are equally stylish in homes.

Cafe Style shutters are available in a range of materials, including:

• Wood: Offers a warm, natural appearance and can be painted or stained to match your decor.
• Faux Wood/Polyvinyl: Provides the look of real wood with added durability and resistance to moisture, making them ideal for kitchens and bathrooms.

These shutters can be tailored to fit various window shapes and sizes. They can also be customized with different louver sizes, colours, and finishes to suit your specific design preferences.

Cafe Style shutters are relatively easy to clean and maintain. Regular dusting with a soft cloth or using a vacuum with a brush attachment helps keep them looking fresh. Faux wood and composite options are particularly low-maintenance due to their moisture resistance.

By only covering the lower half of the window, Cafe Style shutters allow for better airflow and ventilation, which can be particularly beneficial in dining areas and kitchens.

These shutters can enhance the exterior look of your property. From the outside, they add a symmetrical and balanced look to windows, contributing to the overall curb appeal of your home or business.

Cafe Style shutters can be installed inside or outside the recess, depending on your preference and the design of the window. Inside mounts provide a sleek, integrated look, while outside mounts can create the illusion of larger windows.

Compared to full-height shutters, Cafe Style shutters can be a more cost-effective solution since they use less material. They offer a stylish and functional alternative without the higher price tag of full window coverage.
