Living Room
Full Height is the usual living-room starting point. Tier on Tier suits tall sash windows where upper and lower panels need to work independently, while bay layouts are planned around each measured face and angle.

Room planning
What changes from room to room?
The same shutter style can work in several rooms, but these four decisions change the specification.
Moisture
Bathrooms and working kitchens need waterproof Polycomposite. Keep Hardwood to dry rooms, including a suitable adjoining dining area.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Full Height is the usual starting point in living rooms and bedrooms, Tier on Tier suits tall sash windows, and Cafe Style is mainly used for lower-level privacy on ground-floor windows. The survey specifies each opening separately.
Use waterproof Polycomposite in bathrooms, throughout the working kitchen, and in utility rooms or conservatories affected by regular moisture. Hardwood has a protective coating but is not waterproof; reserve it for dry rooms, including a suitable adjoining dining area.
Shutters provide strong everyday light control but are not a complete blackout product. For 100% darkness, choose a blackout honeycomb blind integrated with new shutters or a manual or electric retrofitted blackout blind for compatible existing shutters. The blackout blinds guide compares both arrangements.
Shutter louvres and panels operate without dangling cords or chains. If you also need blackout, we can discuss an integrated manual honeycomb blind with new shutters or manual and electric retrofitted blackout blinds for compatible existing shutters during the home survey.
Yes. Plantation shutters can work across living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, and conservatories when the bay can support the required frame and panel clearances. We measure each face individually and configure the panel layout around the real angles and clearances. The bay window shutters guide explains the survey checks.
Plantation shutters are for vertical side and end glazing. For a suitable VELUX or roof-style window, we can assess a blackout blind at the home survey. The window layout and opening determine whether that arrangement is suitable. The blackout blinds guide explains the confirmed roof-window scope.
