Made-to-Measure Plantation Shutters
Measured by us, fitted by us, and priced clearly before you decide. Choose Express for a faster UK-made order, or Plan & Save for a better price.
Why Choose Us
Why homeowners choose Shutters Design
A good shutter job starts before anything is ordered. We check the windows, find the right solution, price the work clearly, and fit the shutters ourselves.
One team, start to finish
The same family team handles the survey, measuring, fitting, and aftercare. If something needs adjusting afterwards, you call us directly.
Two ways to order
Express is built for speed, with UK-made shutters and a shorter lead time. Plan & Save is built for value, with a longer lead time and a better price.
Made to last
The finish needs to last as well as the fit. Our shutters use high-quality materials with a durable painted finish, and Polycomposite adds waterproofing, reinforcement, and better insulation.
Honest advice, room by room
The right shutter depends on the room. We talk through privacy, light control, moisture, and insulation so the final choice is practical.
Shutter Styles
Find the right style for each room
The right style depends on the window, the room, and how much privacy or light control matters. These three styles cover the most common choices, with more specific options available for bays, bifolds, shaped windows, tracked doors, and solid panels.
Shutter Range
Two materials, two ways to order
Both materials are made to measure and finished cleanly. Polycomposite adds waterproofing, reinforcement, and better insulation. Hardwood gives real basswood character. Express is the faster route, while Plan & Save offers a better price.
Installation Process
From first visit to fitted, in four steps
A straightforward process, with no unnecessary back-and-forth. We measure your windows, consult using real samples, agree on the specification, and stay reachable afterwards for any adjustment. The same team at every step.
Consultation
We visit your home, look at the windows, and talk through the shutter styles and materials that make sense for each room. No obligation, just practical advice.
Specification & Measure
We take precise measurements and confirm the details: panel layout, frame style, louvre size, material, and finish. Everything is checked before anything is ordered.
Installation
The shutters are fitted by our own team. We check alignment, louvre movement, and panel operation, then tidy up before leaving.
Aftercare
After fitting, we remain available for adjustments, care advice, and warranty questions. If something needs attention, you speak to us directly.

Frequently Asked Questions
The things homeowners actually ask us, set out plainly: styles and materials, the survey, installation, aftercare, and the guarantees. Cannot see yours? Ask us any time, you will always reach the team that does the fitting.
The total depends on window size, style, material, and how you order. We price standard shutters per square metre: Express Polycomposite is £315/sqm, Express Hardwood is £380/sqm, and Plan & Save is £260/sqm for both materials. Bays, tier-on-tier panels, shaped windows, and tracked doors need a survey before we can price them properly. Our pricing guide explains what changes a quote.
Book a free home survey through our contact page or by phone. We visit, measure every window, show you physical samples, and leave you with a written quote. No deposit is taken at the survey.
Yes. 50% on order confirmation, 50% on the day of installation after the finished walkthrough.
No. We bring physical samples of materials, colours, louvre sizes, and tilt mechanisms to the survey, so you make decisions in your own light and your own room rather than under showroom lighting.
Yes. The home survey is free and no obligation in the towns we cover. You can book a free home survey online.
Full Height, Tier on Tier, Cafe Style, Bifold, Tracked Door, Shaped, Solid Panel, and Bay Window. Our shutter styles guide explains where each one works best.
Two materials: Hardwood (basswood timber) and Polycomposite (a waterproof composite for wet rooms). Our material comparison explains the practical differences.
A large range of standard whites, off-whites, greys, and stained-wood tones across both ranges. Custom colour-matching is available on Hardwood, including specific paint references where needed.
Hardwood: 47, 63, 76, and 89 mm. Polycomposite: 63, 76, and 89 mm. We bring physical samples to the survey so you can compare proportions on your actual window.
Polycomposite. It is waterproof, reinforced, better insulated, and the material we recommend for bathrooms, kitchens, utility rooms, and any space with steam, splashes, or regular condensation. Hardwood is for dry rooms where real timber character matters. Read about Polycomposite shutters for wet rooms.
Bar tilt has a visible rod down the middle of each panel. Hidden tilt moves the linkage inside the louvres for a clean unbroken face. Both available on both ranges; decided at the survey.
It depends which way you order. The Express range is made in the UK and is usually ready about 2 to 3 weeks from survey to fitting. Plan & Save is made overseas to the same specification and takes around 8 to 9 weeks at the lower Plan & Save rate. Shaped work and complex tracked systems can take longer, which we confirm at survey.
Usually a single day for most homes. A single window is 60 to 90 minutes, a whole room is 2 to 4 hours, a whole-house install across 6 to 10 windows is normally one full day. Our installation guide explains what to expect on fitting day.
Clear the sills and immediate area around each window. Take down existing curtains or blinds if you want us to dispose of them. We bring our own dust sheets and tools.
Yes. We need access to every room being fitted, and we walk through the finished installation with you at the end before any final payment.
No. We use dust sheets, contain any drilling, and tidy thoroughly before leaving.
Yes. We measure each section of a bay individually and plan the panel layout around the real angles and clearances. Our shutter styles guide shows the options for bays, shaped windows and doors.
Yes. We can supply and fit blackout blinds behind a new made-to-measure shutter order where you need a darker room. Our blackout blinds guide explains how the two products work together.
Dust regularly with a dry cloth or microfibre. Wipe marks with a lightly damp cloth and warm water if needed. Avoid solvents and abrasives. That is the whole routine. Our care guide has the full cleaning advice.
A small drop of silicone lubricant on the hinges and tilt-rod connection once a year keeps everything smooth. Most shutters do not need anything else.
Avoid solvents, bleach, vinegar, and any abrasive cleaner. Warm water with a tiny amount of mild washing-up liquid on a damp cloth is more than enough.
Yes. The shutter itself has no dangling cords or chains. If a blackout blind is fitted behind a shutter, we specify the blind with the correct child-safety devices. Our blackout blinds guide explains the options.
A properly fitted set can last for many years with sensible care. Material choice matters: Polycomposite belongs in wet rooms, while Hardwood should stay in dry rooms.
A manufacturer guarantee against defects (warping, splitting, paint failure, mechanical fault): 5 years on Hardwood, 10 years on Polycomposite. Confirmed in writing at order and not dependent on the fitter staying in business. Our warranty guide explains the cover in more detail.
Damage from misuse: panels slammed shut, louvres pulled rather than tilted, water damage to Hardwood from being fitted in a wet room, and general accidental damage. Wear and tear over normal use is not a defect.
Get in touch by phone or contact form with photos and a description. We confirm whether the issue is a covered defect and arrange the manufacturer fix. Use our contact form to start a claim.
