For the Love of Shutters – Top 5

Everything we do here at The London Shutter Company is driven by our love of shutters – we believe shutters are the best window dressing available thanks to the multiple benefits on offer and the beautiful finish that they offer to a room. Here are 5 benefits that your shutters will offer you.

Enhanced Privacy

Shutters offer more variation to the privacy options in your rooms thanks to the additional blocking possibilities than the standard open or completely closed usage of curtains and blinds. The slat control in louvred shutter panels mean that you can increase privacy without completely darkening the room. In shutter styles where a break in slats has been chosen, or two tiers, you can close or tilt slats to obstruct the view of one section but still enjoy light coming through the other.

Multiple light control levels

As with privacy, louvred shutters allow for varying levels of light to shine through into the room without having to choose a completely closed or completely light exposed option that comes with curtains or blinds traditionally. Tilting louvres can also help with screen glares or other problems light levels may present by very slightly reducing the amount light without once again restricting all natural sunlight into a room.

Temperature benefits

An additional layer in front of the window will always assist with temperature controls of a room, but having slat gaps ensures that not only can a room be slightly warmed by trapping heat with the window covering, but there is also an option for the window to be opened with slats open and panels closed to allow a breeze through into a room.

Smart aesthetics with a built-in longevity

Shutters are a fantastic design feature in rooms, offering smart aesthetics that closely mirror window designs ensuring that the feature of the window surrounds and shape of the room is not lost whilst adding a touch of luxury to the room. Our shutters are sourced from the best shutter manufacturer in the world and come with a 5-year warranty giving you piece of mind that your shutters will be around for many years to come. With the right care and love, your shutters will be around for a lot longer than that too!

Designed by you, for you

There are so many design options that you can choose for your shutters that you can truly design them for you and your home around your preferences. That is one of the great advantages of shutters, you can customise designs to your preferred style, slat size, tilt option, material and finish with multiple colour and fixing finishes. Even better is that if you can’t decide on a preferred colour from our library then you can custom colour your shutters to a colour of your choice.
