Product information
Need to know the basics or require more detailed specifications on all our interior window shutter ranges? You will find all the information you need below, or you can check our frequently asked questions to answer your enquiry. If you still can't find what you are looking for, you can always contact us.
Shutter components
From louvre sizes and tilt rods to frames, finishes and solid panels: explore the options that make up a made-to-measure shutter.
Choose from five louvre sizes, from 47mm to 114mm, or a solid panel. Wider louvres admit more light and look more contemporary; narrower louvres give a more traditional finish.
The tilt rod opens and closes the louvres. Choose a traditional central rod, a hidden tilt rod for a clean, uninterrupted view, or an offset rod set to one side.
The frame profile decides how your shutters sit in or around the window recess. Our surveyor recommends the right frame for each window during your free survey.
Louvres are available in a wide choice of painted colours and wood stains, depending on the shutter range. Request a colour sample to see the finish in your room.
Solid panels give full privacy and block more light. Combine louvres with a solid base, or choose fully solid Solid Raised or Solid Shaker panels.

We offer seven shutter ranges: Antigua MDF, Bermuda ABS, Java waterproof, Cuba basswood, Hawaii hardwood, Fiji premium hardwood and Portchester aluminium security shutters. Each range page explains its construction, colours and louvre options.
A shutter panel is made up of two vertical stiles, horizontal rails at the top and bottom, the louvres that tilt to control light, and a tilt rod that moves the louvres together. The mouse hole is the small notch in the top rail where the tilt rod rests when the louvres are closed.
Louvres come in sizes from 47mm to 114mm, or you can choose a solid panel. If you are buying online you can choose 64mm, 76mm or 89mm. Wider louvres admit more light and look more contemporary; narrower louvres give a more traditional finish.
A central tilt rod runs down the middle of the louvres for a traditional look. A hidden tilt rod sits at the back edge of the louvres for a clean, uninterrupted view, and an offset tilt rod is set to one side of the panel.
The frame profile decides how your shutters sit in or around the window recess. Profiles include Insert L, Bullnose Z and Camber Deco, and our surveyor recommends the right frame for each window during your free survey. Our mounting options guide explains inside and outside mount frames in detail.
