Guide · Manchester · Est. 1998
Choosing plantation shutters means deciding on a style, a material, a louvre size, a colour and a fitting frame. This guide walks through every option we make and fit in Manchester so you can pick the right combination for each room — with no jargon.
One continuous panel from sill to top — the classic, timeless look. Best for lounges, bedrooms and bay windows where you want a clean, uninterrupted line.
Cover only the lower half of the window — daylight in, privacy where you need it. Popular on kitchens and street-facing rooms.
Two independent panels stacked top and bottom, each operating separately. Ideal for Victorian terraces and period homes.
No louvres — a solid timber panel for total blackout and a traditional cottage feel. Great for bedrooms.
ABS or waterproof polymer built for bathrooms, wet rooms and kitchens. Won't warp, crack or discolour.
Premium kiln-dried basswood — a strong, lightweight and stable timber that takes paint and stain beautifully. Hardwood gives the finest finish and lets us build wider panels for large windows and bays without sagging. Best for lounges, bedrooms, bays and any window where you want the classic real-wood look.
A solid PVC / polymer shutter with an aluminium-reinforced core. Fully waterproof and rustproof, it won't warp, crack, fade or discolour in steam or splashes — while still looking like a painted timber shutter. The go-to material for bathrooms, wet rooms, kitchens, utility rooms and conservatories.
Louvre size changes how much light you get and how the shutter looks when open. As a rule, the bigger the window, the bigger the louvre.
| Louvre | Best for |
|---|---|
| 63mm | The most popular size — balanced view and light |
| 76mm | Larger modern windows, best outward view |
| 89mm | Statement shutters for large picture windows |
