However, we believe there are pros and cons of shutters made of plantation and they don’t work in every window or space. Since we are experts of all furniture not just shutters, it is possible to be objective and impart our knowledge.
What are the advantages and drawbacks of shutters made from plantation when you’re in need of darkness?
Shutters are a popular feature in bedrooms. They offer great control over the light and privacy however they’re not completely blackout. This means they’re not ideal if the early summer lighting can disrupt your (or frequently your children’s) sleeping. To avoid this problem, you can install a blackout blind in front of the shutters. To ensure that there is enough space for the blind it is recommended to arrange the blind while the shutters are being surveyed. Also, consider motorizing the blind as using remote controls from behind the shutter is a hassle. Modern battery powered motors are great when there is no power available at the window. The same principle applies for cinemas, TVs, or any other space in which darkness is essential.
It is crucial to note that products that have blackout fabric can not completely darken the room unless they are installed in an entire blackout system. A blind that is blackout placed behind a shutter can make a huge difference in stopping light bleed.
Large Doors
Large, open-plan spaces with big doors are extremely fashionable in contemporary style. They look gorgeous in these rooms, particularly when they complement other windows within the space. There are a few things to consider. What is the best place for shutter doors to be placed when you wish to open the doors to your garden? Do they block daylight that enters the space? Would they cause a problem for you if you need to walk into and out of doors often? It is possible to overcome these issues in the initial planning phase by creating the right space to either of the doors where the shutters can rest. If you’re retrofitting your shutters, this might not be an option.
Contemporary curtains and stylish blinds could be a good solution for sliding or bi-folding doors.
It is interesting to note that this huge shutter design works well as a partition in a room.
Installing Shutters In Just One Window
The time has come to increase curb appeal. Perhaps you’ve just finished decorating the room and would like to add a shutter.

What are the options available?
Shutters come in Full height and Tier-on-Tier (a door over the door) as well as cafe-style (half way to the top of the window) choices, making them extremely versatile.
You can also choose from a range of 47mm, 53mm, the 76mm, 89mm or 110mm louvers. In general, the bigger the louver, the more light that can be brought in into the room, and the simpler it becomes to see through and out.
The rod that tilts for opening and closing louvers can be positioned centrally as well as offset towards one of the sides. Current trend is to completely eliminate it and opt for louvers with larger openings.

Where do shutters work Effectively?
We’ve stated numerous instances that we believe that shutters are an excellent product and can be fitted within almost every window. All you have to do is take into account a few of the issues mentioned earlier. They’re a great option to use on bay windows. The shape and angle of bay windows mean that there will be gaps when you install the majority of blinds. This can create issues with privacy and light. Curtains also block out a large portion of the windows, and thus the light source unless there is enough space to cover the curtains to either or the other side. The advantage to shutters lies in the fact that they can fill the gaps and require much less room than curtain. Another thing to remember is that shutters are typically closed when placed in bay windows, so be sure to select the proper size of louver that will meet your need for privacy and light.
Can they be driven
The shutter industry had to remove motorisation due to the numerous issues. Motorisation technology has made huge advancements in the past two years, and the result is that motorisation is back. This is an obvious advantage. Large, high-gable windows are now extremely popular, and shutters work well with these windows. Because they are high, they used to be difficult to access which meant you couldn’t move them open or close them. Since shutters can be operated, this issue is no longer a problem and we anticipate that we will see more shutters fitted on windows with gable openings in the near future.
Every shutter panel or door will require a motor. The more shutter panels you have inside your shutter set the more motors you’ll require.
