Shutter Louvre Width

The louvre size is paramount to getting the best from your shutters. There are 4 choices including a solid panel shutter which can be split to give louvres above a midrail and solid panel below etc. The different slat widths are shown below each with a different stain or paint option.

Shutter Louvre Control

The tilt rod is the control that you use to open and close the shutter louvres and can be seen located centrally on the 63mm, 76mm, 114mm examples above. This tilt rod can be off centred to either the left or right if so desired by customer choice or to avoid obstruction in the case of multi bi-fold panels. Where the tilt rod is off centred it is positioned at a distance of 25mm from the edge of the louvre on the hinged side. The 89mm louvre example above shows an example of a hidden tilt rod also known as Easy-tilt or silent tilt, and is available across all louvre sizes. In this case by moving just one of the louvres they are all controlled.

Shutters Stains and Colours

All of our shutters are given either 6-7 coats of paint or stain respectively to achieve a tough, durable and quality finish. As well as a broad range of standard stains and colours, we are also able to match your shutters to a number of brand trade palettes.

Your shutters will give you a lifetime of satisfaction, add value to your property, increase perceived security, but most of all create an iconic design feature in your home that will give you pleasure for many years to come.

Shutters Hinge Colours

All of our shutters come with a choice of different hinge colour finishes meaning you can match the shutters with aspects of your living environment.
