Plantation Shutters for Large Windows

To fit plantation shutters to large windows, we can install a track system to the top of the shutters. This track system takes all the weight of the shutters. The shutters sections themselves run smoothly along the track to stack at the ends of the track.

This type of plantation shutter is ideal for large windows and french doors. You still have the option of having the shutters pulled back off the window or across the window.

Our experienced team of fitters ensure that the whole unit is fitted square (even if your window isn’t square). We then hang the shutters onto the track and align them precisely. All the panels are adjustable onsite to allow for any inconsistencies in your window opening. When the track system and shutters are fully fitted they will run perfectly and all the sections will line up.

We recommend using Basswood shutters for the track systems as it is hard wearing and gives the greatest choice of colours and special mouldings to finish the job. There is no real limit to the size of track systems. At the ideal home exhibition this year we had a track system plantation shutter on display that was about 5 metres wide. It had 12 sections – some of which had automated slats that worked with a remote control handset.

The cost of track systems is a little more per square metre than for other types of shutters. This is to cover the additional components cost of the track itself and the longer fitting time needed to install then.
