Waterproof Bathroom Shutters
Made-to-measure waterproof bathroom shutters for privacy and adjustable daylight in rooms with regular steam, splashes or condensation.
Full Height gives complete window coverage. Tier on Tier suits tall sash windows, while Cafe Style works only where the upper glass can remain uncovered.
The room's brief
What bathroom shutters need to do
Bathroom shutters need to provide reliable privacy and adjustable daylight without using a material that regular steam, splashes or condensation can damage.
Use waterproof Polycomposite. Hardwood has a protective coating, but it is not waterproof and should remain in dry rooms.
Priorities for this room
What we focus on for bathroom shutters
Waterproof material for regular moisture
Polycomposite is waterproof and has metal insertions inside the louvres and frame. It is the material we recommend for bathroom shutters.
Privacy based on the real sight line
The survey checks the view from outside before setting the shutter height and panel layout. Full Height covers the whole window, while Tier on Tier or Cafe Style can preserve more upper daylight.
Window access and ventilation
We check handles, vents and panel swing before confirming the frame. Shutters do not replace an extractor fan or repair the cause of condensation.
Material recommendation
Which material suits your bathroom?
Polycomposite provides better thermal and noise insulation through metal insertions inside its louvres and frame. Hardwood still adds some insulation and is the lighter real-wood option for larger panels in dry rooms.

This calculation covers one bathroom window. If the room has more than one window, each opening is measured and priced separately. The example uses a two-panel Full Height Polycomposite layout. This is an illustrative size, not a standard UK window size. The final written quote uses the surveyed dimensions and confirmed specification.

How bathroom shutters are typically laid out
- Two-panel Full Height on a sash window
- Two Polycomposite panels cover the complete window. The louvres tilt for daylight and privacy without leaving the upper glass permanently exposed.
- Tier-on-tier with separate louvred sections
- For taller bathroom windows where the upper and lower sections need independent control. Keep the lower Polycomposite panels closed for privacy while adjusting the upper louvres for daylight.
- Cafe Style at the measured privacy line
- The survey sets the Cafe Style height from the real view outside. The lower shutter provides privacy while the upper glass remains uncovered for daylight.

Frequently Asked Questions
Polycomposite bathroom shutters are waterproof and suited to regular steam, splashes and condensation. Hardwood has a protective coating but is not waterproof, so we do not recommend it for bathrooms or wet rooms.
Full Height is the usual starting point when the complete window needs privacy. Tier on Tier suits tall sash windows when the upper and lower sections need separate control. Cafe Style works where the upper glass is not overlooked and can remain uncovered.
The right height depends on the window position and the sight line from outside. We confirm it in the room during the home survey rather than using a fixed percentage.
Waterproof Polycomposite suits regular bathroom steam, splashes and condensation. Shutters do not replace ventilation or repair failed glazing, damaged seals or another cause of persistent condensation.
Frosted glass and shutters do different jobs. Frosted glass changes visibility through the pane, while shutters let you close the window covering, adjust the louvres for daylight or open the panels fully.
