Full Height Shutters<\/h2>\n

Full height plantation shutters<\/strong><\/a> (otherwise known as California shutters) cover the whole of the window, as the panels come in one piece. This is the classic window shutter design.<\/p>\n

While full height interior window shutters is one of the simplest options, they come with many benefits and create a neat, clean and elegant appearance in your home.<\/p>\n

\n\u2022 Insulation
\n\u2022 Helps to block outside noise
\n\u2022 Privacy<\/p>\n

Disadvantages<\/strong>
\n\u2022 While there are no particular disadvantages, one struggle that you may come across is trying to reach the tops of the shutters to clean. luckily, they are quick and easy to clean, only needing a simple wipe over with a damp cloth.<\/p>\n

What Room?<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Bedroom
\n\u2022 Bathroom
\n\u2022 Dining room<\/p>\n

These shutters are great for french or patio doors, along with big windows – in particular windows without a meeting rail.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Full Height Shutters with Mid Rail<\/h2>\n

Full height window shutters with a mid rail<\/strong><\/a> are popular due to people getting more control of how much light enters the house.<\/p>\n

In the middle of the window shutter is a mid rail which not only helps to strengthen the window shutters, but prevents them from warping and bending.<\/p>\n

Due to the top and bottom set of shutters being separate, they have separate tilt rods which means that they can have have different light control settings, dependant on your preferences.<\/p>\n

Advantages<\/strong>
\n\u2022 You receive further light control
\n\u2022 Layer of insulation
\n\u2022 Sound barrier
\n\u2022 Privacy
\n\u2022 The mid rail can be lined up with the window’s meeting rail, so you can hide any handles, creating a neater finish<\/p>\n

Disadvantages<\/strong>
\nThese window shutters can sometimes make the window look too busy.<\/p>\n

What Room?<\/strong>

Cafe Style Shutters<\/h2>\n

Cafe window shutters<\/strong><\/a> cover the lower half of your window, providing you with privacy from people walking past your house, while leaving the top half of your window clear so that you can get maximum sunlight into your room.<\/p>\n

Tier on Tier Shutters<\/h2>\n

Two tier shutters<\/strong><\/a> are extremely useful as you have full control of light.<\/p>\n

These are two separate shutters that have been installed one above the other, meaning that you can control how much light enters the room, with the option of leaving one set of shutters closed and the other shutters open, or giving them different light control settings.<\/p>\n
