Step 1: Choosing the Right Material

The material you choose will affect how your shutters look, feel, and perform over time.

 

Traditional Hardwood Shutters

A great all-round option for most rooms.

  • Natural wood finish
  • Lightweight and easy to operate
  • Ideal for living rooms and bedrooms
  • Classic, clean look

Best for: general use throughout the home

Durable Hardwood Shutters (ABS Coated)

A tougher version of hardwood shutters, designed for

everyday use.

  • Protective ABS coating for added strength
  • More resistant to knocks and wear
  • Keeps the look of real wood
  • Great for busy households

 

Best for: high-traffic areas and family homes

Composite Shutters

Designed for moisture-prone areas.

  • Fully waterproof
  • Won’t warp or crack
  • Easy to maintain
  • Strong and durable

Best for: bathrooms, kitchens, and utility rooms

Step 2: Choosing the Right Style

The material you choose will affect how your shutters look, feel, and perform over time.

 

Full Height Shutters

  • Covers the entire window
  • Clean and modern
  • Great for privacy

Most popular choice for most homes

Tier-on-Tier Shutters

  • Top and bottom panels open independently
  • Maximum flexibility for light and privacy

Best for bay windows and street-facing rooms

Café Style Shutters

  • Covers the lower half of the window
  • Lets in more natural light

Best for front-facing properties and kitchens

Tracked Shutters

  • Designed for wide openings and doors
  • Smooth sliding or folding panels

Best for patio doors and large spaces

Step 3: Choosing Louvre Size

Louvre size changes the overall look of your shutters.

  • 64mm → more traditional
  • 76mm → balanced
  • 89mm → modern and open

Larger louvres allow more light in and tend to suit bigger windows.

Different rooms often benefit from different shutter types:

  • Living rooms → hardwood or durable hardwood
  • Bedrooms → any material depending on preference
  • Bathrooms → composite shutters
  • Bay windows → tier-on-tier or full height
