Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are café-style shutters?
Imagine full-length shutters taking a coffee break! Café-style shutters cover the lower half of your window, leaving the top open. Think chic café windows with charming Parisian vibes, translated for your own home.

Q: What are the benefits of café-style shutters?
These beauties offer a bounty of perks:

  • Privacy, please! Keep nosy neighbours and busy streets at bay while still enjoying natural light. Perfect for ground-floor windows and bedrooms.
  • Light and breezy balance: Let sunshine stream in above while maintaining lower-half privacy. Tilt the louvres to catch a refreshing breeze without compromising security.
  • Curb appeal charmer: Add a touch of timeless elegance to your home’s exterior. They’re like a stylish little dress adorning your windows.
  • Dual duty delights: Pair them with curtains for added warmth and texture, or let them shine solo for a clean, contemporary look.
  • Low-maintenance marvels: Easy to clean and built to last, they’re the low-effort heroes of window treatments.

Q: How do café-style shutters work?
Similar to their full-length cousins, they operate with adjustable louvres that tilt to control light and airflow. But with café style, you simply open and close the single panel covering the lower half of the window.

Q: Why choose café-style shutters?
If you’re seeking:

  • Privacy without sacrificing light
  • A touch of European charm
  • Easy ventilation and low maintenance
  • Versatility to pair with other window treatments

Then café-style shutters might just be your perfect match! They bring light, privacy, and a dash of continental flair to your home, making them a delightful addition to any window.

Bonus Tip: Consider the height of your windows. Café-style shutters work best on standard or larger windows, allowing enough space for the upper portion to stay open and showcase the view.

So, open your windows to the possibilities of café-style shutters and enjoy the light, the privacy, and the undeniable charm they bring!

WHAT ARE CAFÉ STYLE SHUTTERS?

Café style shutters take their name from the immense popularity in hospitality environments, wherein a certain amount of privacy is required though not at the expense of natural light. Café style shutters are characterised by bespoke panels that cover the lower portion of the window or door, while leaving the top section uncovered.

This differs from full height shutters and tier on tier shutters, which cover the vertical length of the window or door in its entirety.

Shutters in Cafe style are often made to cover 50% of the window or door’s vertical length, but it is also possible to install bespoke shutters that cover say 30% or 60% of the opening. One of the most versatile types of shutters available, café style shutters look elegant and sophisticated in all types of classical and contemporary properties.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF CAFÉ STYLE SHUTTERS?

One of the biggest benefits of café style plantation shutters is the limitless scope for customisation, ensuring just the right proportion of the window is covered to suit your tastes and preferences. In addition, leaving the top section of the window or door uncovered brings the benefit of unobstructed light, keeping your interiors flooded with natural light throughout the day.
