Style Of Shutters

There are many types of Window Shutters available

. Some of the most common ones are detailed below.

Full Height Shutters

Full height shutters cover the full length of a window. They usually work as two separate panels, one on each side of the window, which are swung open and closed according to the conditions. This means people are able to choose how they want their shutters placed depending on the weather conditions. For example on a warm day they may want them open to let in the outdoors or closed to keep the sunlight out and the room cool.

Cafe Style

Cafe style shutters cover the bottom half of a window while leaving the top half open. They are typically used on tall windows that stretch to the majority of the walls length. The advantage of this style is that the bottom half being covered results in privacy, while the top half being open mean plenty of light is still let into a room. With most other styles it comes down to a choice of one or the other.

Tier On Tier

These cover the whole window but the top and bottom half are independent of one another. This allows for control over each half of the structure separately. This has the obvious advantage of controlling each part of the window by itself. This means there can be privacy and light like with cafe style shutters, with the top half open and the bottom half closed. Alternatively it can be the other ways round, letting in air at the bottom and blocking out sunlight at the top.

Solid Shutters

Solid shutters are exactly as they sound; solid shutters that cover the whole window, with either one whole shutter or one on either side of the window. Unlike most styles they do not have louvers therefore not allowing maximum control that louvers offer. The advantage is that the light can be completely blocked out if necessary.

Custom Shutters

Many shutter companies will offer custom shutters. Most will have specific styles, as outlined above, but can also create more bespoke styles for those who require something different to the generic styles. This allows for alternative shapes and a mixture of styles to be used.

Panelled Shutters

Panelled Shutters are where two or more shutter panels are used. This means each section of the window can be controlled separately. They are most commonly used for large window units where it is advantageous to control each section individually.

Colours

Most shutters are made of wood (although many different types of wood can be used) and painted. Any colour can be used although some shutter providers will limit what they can provide. Just like curtains, people will usually choose colours that go well with the house they will be appearing in. Unlike curtains though, both the inside and outside of the home will be considered when choosing the colour of shutters.
