Questions about Plantation Shutters
What are Plantation Shutters?
Plantation shutters are a practical and stylish alternative to curtains or blinds and suit both contemporary and traditional decor. Perfect Shutters offer the biggest selection of Plantation Shutters in Liverpool, Merseyside, Wirral, Cheshire and Lancashire UK.
Can plantation shutters be installed on any window?
Perfect Shutters can be installed on virtually any window, including French doors, patio sliding doors, and bay windows. They can also be used effectively as room dividers fitted on tracks. They usually cannot be fitted where there is a false ceiling or fixed pelmet that prohibits the shutter from being opened. If the window/door opens inwards they can always be mounted outside of the reveal. If in doubt, click here to contact our technical team.
Product Questions
What louvre size should I choose?
When making your louvre choice, consider the size of the room, window and the desired effect. Perfect Shutters offer six main louvre sizes depending on the shutter range chosen, plus a solid shutter version and a blackout shutter with integrated honeycomb blind for ultimate light exclusion.
When choosing your louvre, you’ll need to decide which size best suits your window while allowing the louvres to be opened without making contact with your window/furniture, with larger louvre sizes requiring more room to open.
Generally larger windows command a larger louvre size for your plantation shutters and smaller windows a smaller louvre size.
What colours and stains are available for Plantation Shutters?
Shutters offer a full-colour palette, utilising some of the most popular and on-trend colours in the market place. Unlike cheaper imitations, all-Perfect Shutters are given 6 coats of paint or stain to give a tough, lustrous finish and to help prevent fading the final layer is UV protected.
Our custom colour option offers you virtually any colour finish you require and we can match the UK’s leading paint companies’ colours.
