Tier-on-tier shutters give you full control over how your home feels throughout the day. With two separate panels — one on top, one below — you can open or close each section independently. Want daylight but still need privacy from the street? Open the top, keep the bottom closed. Need a quiet moment or a darker room? Close both.
These shutters are made to fit your windows and your lifestyle. Whether you’re in a ground-floor flat in the city or a period house in the suburbs, they’re designed to adapt.
Tier-on-tier shutters give you more control than most other options. You can let in light without feeling exposed, or shut out glare without blocking everything. That flexibility makes a real difference in everyday life, especially in rooms that do double duty.
They’re brilliant in winter when you want to keep the warmth in, and just as useful in summer when you want airflow without throwing open the entire window. They also look considered and permanent — not like a temporary fix — and they work just as well in modern homes as they do in older ones.
Because the top and bottom panels operate independently, you’re never stuck with an all-or-nothing setup. You can fine-tune your shutters throughout the day depending on what you’re doing.
Watching a film? Close the top panel to reduce glare.
Working from home? Keep both panels open for a bright, energised workspace.
Getting dressed? Shut the bottom for privacy and leave the top open for natural light.
Tier-on-tier shutters give you real-world flexibility, not just window coverage.
Blinds serve a purpose, but they tend to tangle, fade, or feel flimsy over time. Tier-on-tier shutters offer something more solid and lasting.
They give you better insulation, which means more control over temperature and potentially lower energy bills. They also reduce outside noise, especially useful in busy urban areas, and provide an extra layer of security thanks to their sturdy construction.
Plus, they’re considered a permanent fixture, and that can make your home more attractive to future buyers. They don’t just look good — they add lasting value.
They’re especially well suited to tall sash windows, where the split design mirrors the proportions of the frame. But they also work brilliantly in:
Living rooms, where you want privacy at street level but still need light.
Bedrooms, so you can let the morning light in without feeling exposed.
Bathrooms, where humidity’s a factor and fabric just doesn’t cut it.
Offices, where glare control can make a big difference to screen work.
If your windows are visible to the street, shared paths, or neighbouring houses, these shutters make those spaces feel more private without shutting them down.

Just like all our shutters, tier-on-tier options are made to measure, and choosing the right material depends on the room and how you use it.
Hardwood gives you a classic, high-end finish — perfect for living rooms or bedrooms where aesthetics matter. It can be painted or stained to suit your décor.
Composite (engineered wood) is your best bet in kitchens or bathrooms. It’s moisture-resistant, long-lasting, and doesn’t need much maintenance.
Vinyl is great if you’re after something lightweight, budget-friendly, and low-effort — ideal for rentals or family homes.
You can also customise the louvre size, hinge colour, and finish to make them truly fit your space, not just in size, but in style too.
Shutters like these need to fit perfectly to work properly. That’s why we always recommend professional measuring and fitting. It’s especially important for older or uneven window frames, where even a few millimetres can make a difference.
Most installations take between one and two days, depending on how many windows you’re covering. We handle the whole process — from measuring to fitting — and we’ll talk you through how to use and maintain your shutters so they work smoothly from day one.
