Timber Shutters

Start with the window

Think about access to the handle, the position of the opening sash and where the panels will sit when folded back. Full-height, café and tiered layouts serve different purposes. A bay or wider opening may need a more detailed frame or tracked arrangement.

Larger louvres create fewer horizontal divisions but need more room to rotate. They also form part of a different panel construction. We check the support, panel widths and any dividing rails rather than selecting a design by blade size alone.

Compare the finish within its range

Painted, stained and decorative finishes are not interchangeable across every shutter. The sample selection is linked to the chosen construction and profile. A physical sample is particularly useful when matching existing joinery or comparing similar pale shades.

Natural timber varies in grain and tone. A sample indicates the general appearance; the manufactured panels will retain the character of real wood. The final quotation confirms the agreed range, finish and layout.

Measuring, supply and installation

Send photographs of the complete opening with approximate sizes for an initial estimate. For a fitted project, the survey establishes the manufacturing dimensions, frame detail and fixing requirements. Supply-only enquiries are also welcome where the final measurements and specification can be agreed clearly.
