Plantation Shutters for Bay Windows

Because the frame mullion or angle post between adjacent panels has to meet the real shape of the bay cleanly. If the angle is assumed instead of measured, the shutters can sit proud, leave uneven gaps, or fail to open cleanly. We confirm the bay geometry at survey.

Yes, where the individual window faces and clearances allow it. A box bay and a curved bay need different panel layouts, so we measure each face, angle, handle and opening movement before confirming the design.

Full-height is often the simplest choice for a clean architectural line across the whole bay. Tier-on-tier suits taller bays where the upper and lower need independent operation, and costs 10% more than the equivalent full-height configuration because the separate panels need their own hinge mechanisms. Cafe style works where lower-level privacy is the main concern.

We measure each section of the bay separately for width, height, reveal depth, handle clearance, and the angle between sections. All measurements are taken in the home with the actual window present; photos can help us understand the job, but the quote is confirmed after survey.

That depends on the bay depth, panel width, handles and available clearance. We check the panel swing at the survey and confirm what the finished shutters can do before the order is placed.

Sometimes. We assess the bay faces, clearances and shutter layout at the home survey before confirming whether an integrated blackout system or a retrofitted blackout blind behind suitable existing shutter panels is possible. Our blackout blinds guide explains the two arrangements.
