When it comes to choosing shutters – or anything really – the little details can make a big difference. Shutter hinges are one of those details. Not only do they serve a vital function, but they also add a final touch of style to your shutters.
Whether you’re new to the world of shutters or want to explore your options, we’ve got you covered. Let’s explore the different types of window shutter hinges, how they work, and why they matter.
What Are Shutter Hinges?
We’re sure you know what hinges are, so we’ll keep it short. If you’ve ever seen a door, you’ve seen hinges. They connect the shutter panels to the frame and play a big role in the overall functionality and durability of your shutters.
Types of Shutter Hinges
At The Shutter Store, we offer a range of window shutter hinge finishes to suit all sorts of styles. Here’s what you need to know:
1. Faux Wood Shutters
Our durable and waterproof UK-made faux wood shutters come with three hinge options to complement any interior style:
White: A classic choice that blends seamlessly with white shutters.

How Do Shutter Hinges Work?
Installing our DIY shutters is a breeze, thanks to pre-fitted hinges. When your shutters arrive, the shutter hinges are already securely attached to the panels and the frame. All you need to do is:
1) Line up the panels with the frame.
2) Insert the hinge pins.
And that’s it! No fiddly adjustments or complicated tools required.
