Why Get Shutters Made to Measure?
12:00PM 07 October 2024
Shopping for window dressings can be a bit of a headache, especially if you're not a very interior design-y (not a word, but you know what we mean) type of person. Should you go for curtains, blinds, or made to measure shutters? Of course, shutters are always going to be at the top of our list. Though we would say that; we ARE The Shutter Store after all. However, if you’ll let us present the facts, we’re sure you’ll agree.
Made to measure shutters
Each of our shutters are made to the exact specifications of your windows – or doors. This means you’re guaranteed a perfect fit every single time. Unlike other off-the-shelf window dressings, our shutters will fit totally flush to your window reveals, so you'll never have to worry about drafts. This in turn makes your home more energy efficient, helping save you money on energy bills.
Light and privacy
Maybe their biggest USP, shutters are unbeatable on light control and privacy. Want to enjoy the sun's rays without having to wear shades in the house (because who does want that)? Or maybe you'd simply rather get some air into the home without the prying eyes of passersby saying "hi!" (try saying that 5 times in a row)? With a simple tilt of the slats, you can enjoy all the sunshine and fresh air you like, without the pit falls you'll get with other window dressings.
Unbeatable versatility
When someone thinks of shutters, they will almost always imagine a white, full height shutter. And for good reason – it’s a classic look. But made to measure shutters are incredibly versatile, coming in a range of colours, stains, and shutter styles.
If privacy is your main concern, then Full Height shutters will be perfect. If, however, you would like more light to come into your home, then Café Style or Tier-on-Tier shutters are the ones for you.
Long lasting
Each one of our shutters are made to the highest of standards from the best materials. This guarantees you a top-quality product that looks amazing and will last for years to come. Yes, that’s right – years. Given the correct care, your made to measure shutters can last for 10, 15, 20 years, or even longer. Plus, with every purchase from The Shutter Store, you’ll have a 10-year, no quibble guarantee.
Soundproofing
Besides their clear and obvious style points, did you know that shutters even have some soundproofing qualities? Well, they do. In fact, we even measured it. We had an Audio Systems Engineer look at the soundproofing impact of our made to measure shutters, and they found that, when closed, shutters can reduce noise pollution on an average of around 7dB(A). You don’t get that with curtains and blinds.
Futureproofing
One of our favourite things about shutters is how they'll never go out of style. Think about it. When's the last time you saw a set of shutters and thought, "Hmmm, they look a bit outdated"? That's because the design of shutters has gone through very few changes in, well, ever. This means that when you get your shutters - whether they're full height, café style, or otherwise - you'll be free to redecorate in a few years time without worrying about your shutters clashing.
