Indoor plantation shutters are a stylish and functional window treatment option, particularly popular for homes with bay windows. These shutters offer a perfect blend of privacy, light control, and aesthetic appeal, all while enhancing the overall design of a room.
Benefits of Bay Window Shutters
Privacy and Light Control: Plantation shutters allow you to control how much light enters your room while maintaining privacy. You can adjust the louvres (the horizontal slats) to let in natural light, or close them to block out light and provide privacy, without fully closing the window.
Insulation and Energy Efficiency: Shutters provide an extra layer of insulation, keeping heat inside during the winter and preventing heat from entering during the summer. This can improve energy efficiency and reduce heating costs. Read more about energy efficiency and shutters here
Aesthetic Appeal: The classic look of plantation shutters works well in both traditional and contemporary interiors. They complement the unique shape of bay windows, highlighting their angles and curves while adding a sophisticated touch to any room.
Customisable Design: Plantation shutters are custom-made to fit each individual window. This means you get a perfect fit that suits the specific measurements and angles of your bay windows, whether they’re square, angled, or curved.
Durability and Low Maintenance: Shutters are built to last and are easy to clean compared to curtains or blinds. They are typically made from materials like wood or MDF, making them durable and resistant to wear.
Increased Property Value: High-quality shutters can increase the value of your property, particularly in the UK market where interior design trends emphasise long-lasting, timeless fixtures.
Types of Plantation Shutters for Bay Windows:
Full-Height Shutters: These cover the entire window, offering a sleek and uniform look. They are ideal for bay windows because they cover the window’s full vertical space, providing both privacy and style. Go to Full Height Shutters
Tier-on-Tier Shutters: These have separate top and bottom sections, allowing for independent adjustment of the upper and lower sections. This is great for bay windows where you might want to keep the top section open to let light in while keeping the bottom closed for privacy. Go to Tier-on-Tier Shutters
Cafe-Style Shutters: These shutters cover only the lower half of the window, providing privacy for the bottom half while allowing light to enter from the top. They can be a good choice for bay windows if privacy isn’t as much of a concern for the top half of the window. Go to Café Shutters
Tracked Shutters: These are mounted on a track, making them ideal for larger bay windows. They offer smooth operation, especially if you have a wide or curved bay window that requires a flexible solution. Go to Tracked Shutters
Shutter Fitting & Costs
Plantation shutters typically require professional measurement and installation to ensure a perfect fit. This is particularly important given the unique angles of bay windows.
The cost can vary depending on the material, the size of the windows, and the finish you require. Our installation costs are included in the price we give you, so there are never any surpise charges or add-ons to the price we agree.
