shutter design
details

The final look of your shutters will depend on your choice of design options and extras.

We’ll advise on the practical implications of the different options, and help you bring your vision to life.

Louvre widths

Each range offers a choice of louvre widths, creating a variety of different looks. The narrower the louvre, the greater the privacy and the less the light.

Frame options

Your frame can be fitted inside the recess, on the edge of the recess, or outside the recess. The options depend on the nature of the window – Annabel will explain what’s possible.

Shutter panels

The number of panels needed depends on the configuration of the windows. A small single window or single French door might have just a single panel; larger openings could have bi-fold or multi-fold panels. We can hinge up to four panels together (depending on the range chosen), or install a track system if more width is needed.

Mid-rails

A mid-rail lets you tilt different sections of the shutter panel independently. Mid-rails are a practical option for larger installations and can be a nice design touch on smaller ones.

Tilt rods

The tilt rod is the bar that operates the louvres within each panel. You can choose whether you want the rod to run down the centre of the panel or to be offset to the left or right. If you’re having a privacy mid-rail, there will be a tilt rod fitted to each separated section.
You can also choose to upgrade to a hidden (or ‘silent’) tilt rod.

Accessories

Shutter accessories include hinges, catches, magnets and ring pulls. You’ll be able to choose from a selection of styles and materials.

Room darkening blinds

Integral room darkening blinds are an option with some of the ranges. These virtually eliminate all light from the room, giving you the functionality of a blackout blind combined with the style of shutters.

Hygienic coatings

If anyone in your home is allergic or sensitive to dust, then ask Annabel about the Hygienilac coating option. Hygeinilac is regularly used in hospitals.

Fire retardant coating

With the Antigua range, a fire-retardant coating is available as an extra option.

Fixed louvres

Fixed louvres can be ideal for room dividers and wardrobe doors – though if you want ventilation to your wardrobe, we’d still recommend adjustable louvres and a tilt rod.

Annabel is amazing at what she does and is 100% honest. Would highly recommend and use in the future with other properties
