So, why fit shutters to your home?

3:30PM 25 September 2019

There are many good reasons to feel enthused about fitting shutters to your home. But what it essentially boils down to is savings, empowerment, style and practicality! Sound good? Let’s look further into these compelling incentives to install your own affordable shutters…

Easy on the wallet 

It’s a misconception that shutters are overly expensive. Whilst certainly not cheap (and therefore never nasty), by choosing to take the self-install route you are making a considerable saving on measuring and installation fees. In fact, by taking matters into your own hands, you can save as much as 40%!

For example, the cost of bay window shutters depends on the size of your bay window and the material that you go for. An average-sized box bay window that measures approx. 2 sqm will cost from £359 when you buy self-install shutters.

To determine the cost of shutters for your bay window, multiply the overall width by the height to get your square metre dimensions, then multiply this by the cost of the shutter range you would like. This should give you a precise estimate.

Bay window shutter cost examples:

2m2 = From £359
3m2 = From £538
4m2 = From £718

If you decide to choose Café-style shutters, which only cover half the window, then you’ll be making even more of a saving!

Easy on the eye

Our affordable shutters come in 4 beautiful styles, each one offering its own classic appeal.

Full height shutters cover your entire window, providing elegance and privacy. They’re ideal for most rooms and can be used to cover doors as well as windows.

Café style shutters cover the lower area of your window, leaving the top clear for optimum light. They’re a great choice for rooms which need privacy rather than light reduction.

Tier on tier shutters cover the whole window and have top and bottom panels that open independently, giving you full and flexible control over light and seclusion.

Full solid shutters have no slats and are perfect for period properties, providing great light reduction when closed. They’re available in full, half (combined with slats) and tier on tier styles.
