Aluminium Security Shutters in Chelsea for Big Step Property Ltd.

Aluminium Shutters for additional security on large scale windows. A practical yet stylish window solution for a lower ground apartment in Chelsea.

We recently collaborated with Big Step Property Ltd., a company that manages high-end London property refurbishments from start to finish, on a project in Chelsea. Having worked together on several occasions, we were delighted to support them once again - this time delivering a practical yet stylish window solution for a lower ground apartment.

The Brief: Privacy, Light Control & Enhanced Security

The project involved two large windows in a lower ground apartment in Chelsea. As with many basement-level spaces, the key requirements included:

  • Maximising natural light
  • Maintaining privacy
  • Improving home security

Security was a primary concern for the client, making it essential to find a solution that offered protection without compromising on design.

The Solution: Aluminium Security Shutters

To meet these requirements, we recommended our Aluminium Security Shutters from the Portchester Range, installed in a full height with a split louvre style.

Designed specifically for properties requiring additional protection, these shutters provide a robust and secure barrier while maintaining a high-end aesthetic. The full height with a split louvre design also offers maximum flexibility, allowing the top and bottom lourvres to operate independently for optimal control over light and privacy.

  • Durable aluminium construction for long-lasting performance
  • Excellent light control and privacy
  • Custom-made shutters for a perfect fit

A Seamless, Stylish Finish

For this project, the shutters were finished in a sophisticated satin white. This finish closely replicates the look of traditional wooden shutters, ensuring they blend effortlessly with the apartment’s interior design.

The result is a clean, contemporary look that enhances the space while providing the added reassurance of increased security.
