Standard Plantation Shutters

Standard Plantation Shutters

Plantation shutters for ordinary square or rectangle doors and windows. These occupy the full width and height of the recess they are being fitted to or within – depending on your choice of frame style, preferred application or limitation of the surrounding area. These can be made in a range of materials, louvre widths and colours. Various optional configurations such as bi-fold doors, standard, offset, split or concealed tilt operation and choice of hinge colours are available to choose from.

Shaped Plantation Shutters

Shaped Plantation Shutters

Shaped shutters are most often but not exclusively arches as pictured above. The style and functionality of these shutters is sometimes dictated by the shape of the window they are being applied to, but many options are still available to customise them to your preference. A template is made of the actual window or recess and sent direct to the factory for a precision fit.

Bay Window Shutters

Bay Window Shutters

Bay window shutters require extra planning and more frame work to support the panels than a standard shutter. Pictured above is a right angle bay shutter installation by Othello blinds, but angled bays are also catered for. We have done many 3 and 5 part angled bays over the years,

Café Style Shutters

Café Style Shutters

Café style shutters consist of a three sided frame and do not go to the top of the window, allowing plenty of light in whilst keeping prying eyes out. These are especially suitable for street level windows, where people walking by may be frequent. You can specify the height at which they finish – for example halfway, two thirds etc but most often they follow the lines of your existing window for a more aesthetically pleasing look from both inside and out.
