What kind of window shutters do I need?

Whether you are renovating or styling a new home, window shutters are a practical, attractive alternative to curtains and blinds that instantly elevate a space and add value. They suit any room, are simple to clean, and offer privacy, insulation, airflow, and light and noise control in one. Here are the three kinds we offer and what each does best.

• PVC shutters

• Wood shutters

PVC shutters

Best for moisture-prone and sunny rooms. Our PVC shutters are VOC-free and, because they are not made from wood, they are unaffected by moisture or humidity, which makes them perfect for bathrooms and kitchens. They will not warp on sun-facing windows either. With different hinge options, slat sizes and over a dozen colours, you can tailor how they look and work.

Wood shutters

Best for warmth and a natural, luxurious look. Wood, or timber shutters have brought warmth and luxury into homes for centuries, and that cosiness makes them a great choice for bedrooms and living spaces. They insulate effectively in summer and winter and, like the others, come in a range of sizes and control options. Our wood shutters are made from high-quality basswood, sustainably sourced from premium plantations, in over 20 colour and stain options.
