Home/Plantation shutters
Plantation shutters
Made-to-measure interior shutters in hardwood, ABS and painted MDF — including bays, shaped heads and full-height openings.
Made to the window, not trimmed to fit it.
Shutters are joinery, not a blind. Each panel and frame is made to the measurements of your particular opening, which is why they sit square in a bay, follow an arched head and close cleanly against a reveal that is nothing like true. Very few windows are.
Practically, they do three things at once that a curtain and a blind cannot: privacy without darkness, because the louvres angle light up to the ceiling while blocking the view in; insulation, because a closed panel is a second layer across the glass; and they stay looking the same in ten years, because there is no fabric to fade or fray.
- Full-height, tier-on-tier, café style and solid-panel configurations
- Bay windows, arched and angled heads, and full-height door openings
- Painted hardwood, waterproof ABS for bathrooms and wet rooms, painted MDF
- Louvre sizes from 47 mm to 89 mm
- Hidden tilt rods for a cleaner face, or a traditional centre rod
- Colour matched to existing paintwork or joinery
Getting the detail right
Configuration
Full-height panels are the cleanest. Tier-on-tier lets you close the bottom for privacy while the top stays open, which suits front rooms onto a street. Café style covers the lower half only.
Material
Hardwood for the finest frames and the widest louvres. ABS where there is real moisture, because it will not swell or warp. Painted MDF where budget matters more than louvre width.
Fitting
Inside the reveal for the neatest result, or on a face-fix frame where the reveal is too shallow or too far out of square to work with.
Common questions
How long do shutters take?
Made-to-measure shutters are typically six to ten weeks from survey to fitting, depending on material and finish. We give you a realistic date at the point of ordering, not an optimistic one.
Can you do bay windows?
Yes. Bays are measured angle by angle and the frames are made to those angles, so the panels meet properly at each post rather than leaving wedge-shaped gaps.
Do they block the light completely?
Closed louvres cut most of it, but shutters are not blackout — a little light comes through at the louvre edges. For a bedroom where that matters, solid panels or shutters combined with a blackout blind are the answer.
Are they suitable for a bathroom?
In ABS, yes. It is a waterproof material designed for exactly that, and it will not swell, warp or lift the way a painted timber louvre can over a bath or in a shower room.
