Made-to-Measure Plantation Shutters

Timeless Plantation Shutters That Add Value to Your Home

Plantation shutters solve the problems other window coverings create. No more tangled cords, broken mechanisms, or faded fabric. Instead, you get solid panels that adjust precisely for light and privacy, and look like they were always meant to be there.

They’re one of the few home improvements that age well. Good shutters installed today will still work smoothly in 20 years, while most blinds barely make it past five. The design itself, with horizontal louvres in a solid frame, has been around since colonial times because it solves real problems: controlling light, maintaining privacy, and lasting through daily use. They work equally well in period properties and new builds, which is why they tend to stay when houses change hands.

Complete Light Control and Privacy

The adjustable louvres are what make plantation shutters genuinely useful day-to-day. They tilt through multiple positions, so you can fine-tune light levels rather than just having them open or closed. Is the morning sun too bright? Angle them to deflect glare while keeping the room light. Working from home? Position them to stop screen reflection without sitting in darkness. The louvres also solve the privacy problem that blinds create; you can tilt them upwards so people can’t see in from street level, but you still get natural light from above. This works particularly well in overlooked bedrooms or street-facing living rooms where you’d normally have to choose between privacy and daylight. 

Energy-Efficient Plantation Shutters for Insulation and Noise Reduction

Plantation shutters work like an extra layer of glazing on your windows. The timber or composite materials naturally insulate, whilst the adjustable louvres trap air pockets that slow heat transfer. In winter, closed shutters can reduce heat loss through windows by up to 50%. In summer, they block solar heat gain whilst still letting you enjoy natural light. The solid construction also reduces outside noise significantly, brilliant if you live on a busy road or have noisy neighbours. You’ll notice the difference immediately, especially in bedrooms where that extra sound insulation means better sleep.

Built to Last a Lifetime 

When you invest in quality plantation shutters, you’re buying something that’ll still look stunning in 20 years’ time. We use only premium-grade materials, whether that’s sustainable hardwood, innovative polymer, or reinforced MDF. Each shutter is crafted with mortise and tenon joints that won’t loosen over time, even on large windows. The heavy-duty hinges are tested for 50,000+ operations, which is decades of daily use. Unlike curtains that fade or blinds with mechanisms that break, plantation shutters are virtually maintenance-free. A quick dust or occasional wipe is all they need. The finish is applied in multiple coats and cured for durability, resisting chips, scratches and yellowing. Many of our customers tell us their shutters still look as good as the day we fitted them, even after 15+ years.
