Types of Shutters We Offer and Their Best Uses
At North London Shutters and Blinds, we offer a wide range of custom shutters designed to fit your home’s unique needs. Each shutter type offers its own set of benefits, making them perfect for different rooms and window styles. Here’s a breakdown of the shutters we provide and the best applications for each:
Full Height Shutters
Best for: Living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, offices
Full height shutters cover the entire window from top to bottom, offering a sleek, continuous look. They provide excellent light control and privacy, making them ideal for rooms where you need a versatile solution. You can tilt the louvers to allow in natural light or close them fully for complete privacy. Their timeless design suits both modern and traditional interiors, adding elegance to any space.
- Perfect for: Any room where you need full light control and privacy, such as living rooms and bedrooms.
Tier on Tier Shutters
Best for: Living rooms, bathrooms, kitchens, street-facing windows
Tier on Tier shutters feature two sets of panels that can operate independently. This allows you to open the top section to let in natural light while keeping the bottom section closed for privacy. They are ideal for rooms where you want flexibility in managing light and privacy. This style is particularly useful in street-level rooms where you want privacy on the lower half of the window but still want daylight to enter.
- Perfect for: Rooms facing the street or areas where flexible light control and privacy are needed.
Café Style Shutters
Dining rooms, kitchens, street-facing windows
Café style shutters cover only the lower half of the window, allowing light to flood in through the top. These shutters offer privacy while maintaining an open, airy feel, making them perfect for ground-floor rooms or street-facing windows. Their stylish, continental design adds a chic touch to any room and works particularly well in kitchens or dining areas where you want privacy without blocking sunlight.
- Perfect for: Spaces where privacy is needed at eye level but natural light is still desired.
Solid Shutters
Bedrooms, living rooms, period homes, home theatres
Solid shutters are made from full wood panels that reduce incoming light when closed, offering the highest level of privacy and insulation. They are particularly popular in bedrooms, period properties, and rooms where you want to block out noise and light, such as home theatres. These shutters add a traditional and elegant look, making them ideal for homes with classic architecture or those looking to maintain a period aesthetic.
- Perfect for: Bedrooms and spaces where reduced light, privacy, and insulation are important.
Track Shutters
Best for: Large windows, sliding doors, patio doors, room dividers
Track shutters are designed to cover wide expanses such as large windows, sliding glass doors, or patio doors. They glide effortlessly along a track system, providing easy access and smooth operation. These shutters are perfect for large spaces where traditional shutters may not be practical. They can also be used as room dividers in open-plan living areas, offering flexibility in how you use your space.
- Perfect for: Large windows and sliding doors that require full coverage and easy access.
Special Shape Shutters
Best for: Arched, circular, triangular, or angled windows
Special shape shutters are custom-made to fit uniquely shaped windows. Whether your windows are arched, circular, triangular, or angled, these shutters are tailored to provide a perfect fit. Not only do they enhance the beauty of unusual window shapes, but they also offer practical benefits like light control and privacy. These bespoke shutters are ideal for homes with distinctive architectural features.
- Day & Night blinds are perfect for living rooms and bedrooms, where you want versatile light control throughout the day.
