Plantation Shutters Ascot

Because they operate in 2 ways
you have a lot of control over light and privacy. All the wooden shutter panels fold back to leave the window completely open. As well as this, each section tilts so that you can control the light coming into the room. The tilt movement also gives you complete control over privacy. Particularly important when your window faces a front aspect that is overlooked.

Wooden Plantation shutters are a long term window dressing. They will dress your windows for 20 – 30 years and still look great. They are easily maintained and looked after. For cleaning you can simply dust and polish them. If they have become grubby you can wet clean them with a mild household cleaning solution. Be careful not to rub too hard as this can remove the top finish of the shutter slat panels.

The main range of Wood plantation shutters supplied by Howards Blinds of Berkshire are made from american Basswood. While there are other budget options in our range but this is the top quality shutter range and is always our first recommendation. We can advise on how the shutters can be fitted to your windows and help you to choose the best option for your window.

Shaped internal shutters

We completed one of our more unusual shutters installations last week. The Picture shows the arched doorway. This is one house of a new developement of mews houses in Stratford upon Avon. The two middle sections open inwards so we advised the customer that shutters fitted directly to each door unit would be the best solution.

The doors still operate freely and the shutter units also open for extra light when needed.

To make this type of shutter we made full size templates of each door unit and these were sent to the manufacturer for make up. We arrange for a cut out for the door handle. The shutters are made in painted basswood with 64mm slats in Marshmallow white.

Our customer Ms Broughton was “absolutely delighted with the professionalism shown from measuring to fitting”

Shaped shutters - external view

Unlike curtains, shutters can be engineered to perfectly fit almost any shape of window, this includes arches, portholes and patio doors.

There are 4 main types of shutters

• Full height shutters – covering the whole window
• Tier on tier shutters – same as full height but with separate lower and upper sections
• Cafe shutters – covering only the bottom half of the window
• Shaped shutters – for arches, portholes and triangles

These can be made from a range of different woods. They can be painted or stained to fit any colour or finish you are planning in your home. For example we have a range of 12 whites and creams to try and get the colour match perfect.

The first thing to do to get your own shutters is call us on Bracknell 01344 452485. We will come to your home and show you the range and measure up.
