What size louvres should I choose for my shutters?
Louvre size affects both the look and the light flow, larger louvres offer more view, smaller offer more privacy.

How much do window shutters cost?
Our DIY prices start from £212.22 per square metre for Antigua MDF shutters, with ABS, waterproof and hardwood ranges priced above that. The final price depends on the size of your windows, the style, the material and the finish you choose. You can design your shutters online and see the price as you go, or book a free home survey and we will send you an accurate, no-obligation quote for measured and fitted shutters.
Which shutter styles can I choose from?
You can choose full height, tier on tier and café-style shutters, as well as bay window shutters, shaped and arched window shutters and sliding (tracked) shutters for wide windows and doors. Each style comes in louvred or solid panel designs. Full height suits most windows, tier on tier lets you open the top and bottom independently, and café-style covers the lower half for privacy while letting light in above.
Which materials are your shutters made from?
We have 8 shutter ranges: Antigua MDF, Bermuda ABS, Java waterproof, Cuba basswood, Hawaii hardwood, Fiji premium hardwood, Solid panel and Portchester aluminium. All our ranges are available in any style. Choose MDF for the best value for money, hardwood for a lighter panel and a natural wood grain when stained, waterproof shutters for bathrooms and kitchens and aluminium where security matters.
Can I measure and fit shutters myself?
Yes. Our online DIY service lets you design café style, full height and tier-on-tier shutters, enter your own measurements and order directly, with delivery across the UK mainland. Step-by-step measuring guides and installation videos take you through each stage, and you can book a video survey with one of our surveyors if you want help with the measurements. Standard DIY lead times are typically around 7 to 9 weeks.
Can you measure and fit window shutters for me?
Yes. Site surveys are free of charge within the M25 and home counties, and we install across London and surrounding counties including Surrey, Berkshire, Hertfordshire and Oxfordshire. Our surveyor measures every window precisely and talks you through styles, materials and finishes, then our own fitters install the finished shutters. If you live outside the areas we cover, you can book a video survey instead.
How long are shutters guaranteed for?
All our shutters are guaranteed for 5 years and our blinds for 1 year. The guarantee applies whether you choose our measure and fit service or design and buy online. If you ever have a question about your guarantee, our team is happy to help.
