Full-Height Shutters
Full-height shutters, also known as full-length shutters, extend from the top of your window frame to the bottom, covering the entire opening. They operate as one unit, opening and closing like a door with multiple panels.
Benefits:
- Privacy: Full height shutters effectively shield your interiors from prying eyes while still allowing light to filter through. This makes them ideal for rooms where privacy is a priority, such as bedrooms and bathrooms.
- Light Control: By adjusting the louvres, you can regulate the amount of sunlight entering your space. This allows you to create a cosy atmosphere or a bright, airy feel, depending on your needs.
- Insulation: These shutters act as an extra layer of insulation, helping to keep your home cool in summer and warm in winter. This can lead to reduced energy costs and a more comfortable living environment year-round.
- Noise Reduction: They can dampen outside noise, creating a more peaceful and serene environment inside your home.
They are best for living rooms, bedrooms, and bathrooms. They are especially effective on tall windows and can enhance the aesthetic appeal of any room.
Tier-on-Tier Shutters
Tier-on-tier shutters are like your favourite outfit upgraded—two styles in one! Imagine full-length shutters magically split into a top and bottom section, each operating independently. That’s tier on tier! They give you the benefits of both full-height and café-style shutters in one sleek package.
Benefits:
- Versatility
You can open the top tier to let in light while keeping the bottom tier closed for privacy. This makes them highly versatile.
- Light and Privacy Balance
They offer a perfect balance between light control and privacy, making them ideal for rooms that require both.
Considerations:
- Price: They tend to be pricier than their full-height or café-style counterparts.
- Installation: Due to the separate mechanisms, professional installation is often recommended to ensure smooth operation.
It is best for kitchens, bathrooms, and street-facing rooms. Their flexibility makes them a great choice for rooms where you need light and privacy simultaneously.
Café Style Shutters
Inspired by the shutters seen in European cafés, café-style shutters cover the lower half of your window, leaving the top open. They are popular for offering a practical and attractive solution for your home.
Benefits:
- Light and Privacy
They allow natural light to enter from the top half of the window while providing privacy in the lower half.
- Aesthetic Appeal
These shutters add a touch of continental charm to your home.
- Versatility
Pair them with curtains for added warmth and texture, or use them alone for a clean, contemporary look.
They are best for kitchens, dining rooms, and ground-floor rooms. They are perfect for spaces where privacy is desired without sacrificing natural light.
Track Shutters
Neatly housed in a series of tracks—bi-fold or bi-pass—the shutters can fully fold back or slide together. Track shutters provides the benefits of better security, privacy, and insulation when you need them, and full light and access to the garden when you don’t.
Benefits:
- Space-Saving
They don’t require the space that hinged shutters do, making them a practical choice for large openings.
- Ease of Use
The track system makes them easy to operate, even on the largest windows or doors.
- Versatility
Depending on the shape, size, and layout of your interior space, track shutters can also serve as a handy room divider. They are ideal for splitting a large interior space into two separate rooms or creating a small private space within a room.
It is best for patio doors, large windows, and room dividers. They are a fantastic solution for expansive areas that need a flexible and functional window treatment.
