Plantation Shutters
Measured & fitted across Burscough, Ormskirk, Southport & Tarleton
Plantation shutters are solid panels with tilting slats (louvres), fitted inside a frame around your window. You can tilt the louvres to control light and privacy, or fold the panels open completely. They’re durable, easy to clean and give a timeless finish that adds to the look and value of your home.

Which shutter style is right for you?
Full-height shutters cover the whole window, with louvres that tilt together for a clean look. Tier-on-tier shutters have separate top and bottom panels, so you can open the top for light while keeping the bottom closed for privacy. Café-style shutters cover just the lower part of the window, which is ideal for street-facing rooms.
We measure each section of a bay individually, so the shutters fit precisely even when walls aren’t perfectly square.
Louvres and finishes
Shutters come with a choice of louvre sizes, from slim 63mm to wide 89mm, and a range of finishes. For bathrooms and kitchens, we offer waterproof options that won’t warp in steam.
We bring samples to your home so you can compare them in your own light, against your own windows.
Why shutters are worth it
Shutters cost more than blinds up front, but they last for many years, are easy to keep clean and give excellent privacy and light control. They also add an extra layer at the window that helps keep rooms warmer in winter.
Many customers choose shutters for the main rooms at the front of the house and use blinds elsewhere.

Plantation Shutters: your questions answered
What’s the difference between full height and tier-on-tier shutters?
Full height shutters are one panel from top to bottom. Tier-on-tier splits each panel into a top and bottom section that open separately, so you get more control over light and privacy.
Can shutters go in a bathroom?
Yes, with waterproof shutter materials that won’t warp in steam. We’ll recommend the right option for your room.
How much do plantation shutters cost?
Shutters are a bigger investment than blinds, but they last for many years. The price depends on the size, style and material, and we give you an exact, itemised quote at your free home visit, with measuring and fitting included.
Are plantation shutters good for privacy?
Yes. Tilt the louvres to let light in while blocking the view from outside. Tier-on-tier and café-style shutters are especially good for street-facing rooms.
How long do plantation shutters take?
PVC shutters usually take 4–5 weeks from your measure, and real wood shutters around 12 weeks because they’re made to order. Fitting itself usually takes just a day. We’ll confirm the timescale with your quote.
Do plantation shutters keep heat in?
Yes. They add an extra layer at the window, which helps keep rooms warmer in winter, especially in older homes.
What louvre size should I choose?
We offer louvres from slim 63mm to wide 89mm. Wider louvres give a clearer view when open; slimmer ones suit smaller windows. We’ll bring samples to compare.
How long does fitting take?
Most homes are fitted within a day, depending on how many windows you’re having done.
How do I clean plantation shutters?
Dust the louvres regularly and wipe them with a soft, slightly damp cloth when needed.
Do shutters add value to a home?
Many homeowners find they do. Shutters are a lasting, built-in feature that buyers notice, and they suit both period and modern homes.
