Plantation shutters or wooden window shutters can be a beautiful addition to any home, and provide great functionality when it comes to blocking out light, sound, and nosy neighbours. There are several styles available, all based on the classic plantation shutter design, that make these elegant shutters a great option for any window – take a look at the shutter types Expression Blinds can provide below!
Everything made at Expression Blinds is made as a custom piece, to fit your specifications exactly. We always provide a free consultation with one of our expert fitters as the first step of a shutters fitting, and they’ll be happy to provide any information and advice you need about the available shutters and blinds, as well as taking the measurements needed to ensure a perfect fit.
So, what types of plantation shutters can Expression Blinds fit for you?
Tier-on-Tier Shutters
Tier-on-tier shutters are a popular plantation shutters type, with excellent versatility thanks to their two-section design. With an upper section and a lower section, they can be opened or closed in a variety of configurations, giving you plenty of choice over the amount of light, airflow, and privacy in a room.
Tier on tier shutters, like all the shutters available from Expression Blinds, are available in a variety of colours and styles, so just let our fitter know what you want!
Blackout Shutters
Looking for a little peace and quiet at night? Blackout shutters might be exactly what you need. Made to block out the absolute maximum amount of light, and able to block noise when closed, blackout shutters are ideal for a bedroom or nursery, and can work wonders for someone working nights, who needs to sleep during the day – or someone that just likes a lie in!
Shaped Shutters
Not all windows are a regular rectangle shape, and just like Expression Blinds custom-making blinds to fit unique windows, we also make custom shutters in a huge range of shapes! Specially-made shutter frames and shaped louvres can be fitted to any window, from arch windows and porthole windows to triangular, diamond-shaped and even hexagonal windows!
If you’ve got unique window shapes and you’re having trouble finding shutters that fit, give Expression Blinds a call today on 0161 241 9686 – we’re always able to help!
Café Shutters
Café shutters are a great way to create privacy without blocking too much light – they only shutter the bottom half of the window, and leave the top clear. They’re a little like tier-on-tier shutters without the top tier, and got the name “café shutters” because of the privacy they offer a person sitting at a table in the window. They’re ideal for front-facing windows in the home for this reason!
Solid Shutters
Solid shutters are a very sturdy, traditional shutter type – instead of having slats that can be adjusted, these shutters are made from a single panel of wood, providing more shelter, privacy and light-blocking when closed, at the cost of some adaptability.
Tracked Shutters or Sliding Shutters
Bifold doors don’t just require bifold blinds – they may also need specially-made shutters which can slide open and closed on tracks. The same is true of patio doors or French doors – Expression Blinds can provide the tracked shutters needed to fit securely against these doors without hindering the opening and closing of the shutters, so if you want shutters for your doors and aren’t sure how to make it work, call Expression Blinds today!
