No sales pressure. No gimmicks.
Just honest advice, high-quality shutters installation and a service that’s as personal as it is professional.
Louvre Sizes
We offer three louvre sizes—63mm, 76mm, and 89mm—all included in our pricing. Louvre size is mostly a personal preference, but here’s a general guide: Larger 89mm louvres are ideal for modern homes, especially when paired with a fully concealed control system. Smaller 63mm louvres suit a more traditional look, particularly with a centre rod on a tier-on-tier style. Our most popular choice, the versatile 76mm louvre, offers the perfect balance, complementing both large and small windows beautifully.
Common FAQs: Regarding Louvre Size
Do smaller louvres block out more light?
What is a Privacy Split?
Louvre Control Options
We offer two main louvre control options: the traditional visible centre rod and the fully concealed control rod. The fully concealed control rod is by far the most popular choice, offering a sleek, modern look. It also works seamlessly with our free privacy split upgrade for enhanced light and privacy control.
The visible centre rod provides a classic appearance, making it a great choice for period properties or more traditional shutter styles like tier-on-tier.
Blackout Shutter Upgrade Option
While shutters naturally block out a lot of light, they aren't fully blackout. For a near-complete blackout experience, we offer an upgrade with a fully integrated blackout blind built discreetly within the shutter frame. This option blends seamlessly with your non-blackout shutters for a sleek, unified look. Plus, you can take it a step further with motorized blackout blinds that can be connected to your smart home system for added convenience and control.
