A three-part bay is one of the most rewarding openings to dress — and one of the easiest to get wrong if the angles are off. For this very happy client in Gillingham, we fitted imported hardwood bay window shutters in a crisp pure white finish with 76mm louvres, measured to every splay so the panels sit flush across the full bay.
Daylight pours through when the louvres are open; close them and the street stays private without heavy curtains eating the sill space.
The specification
- Product: Imported hardwood plantation shutters for a three-part bay window
- Layout: Side panels on each angled return, with a multi-panel run across the centre light
- Finish: Pure white
- Louvre size: 76mm, a popular mid-width slat that balances views and privacy
- Control: Mid-rails so upper and lower louvres can be adjusted independently
- Location: Gillingham, Kent — Medway, a short drive from our Maidstone base
Bay shutters have to follow the window geometry exactly. We template each angle on site, then install so hinges and stiles line up cleanly around the radiator and timber sill — no gaps at the corners, no panels fighting the bay shape.
Why hardwood for a Gillingham bay?
Hardwood gives bay panels the rigidity they need across wider centre runs and angled returns. The pure white finish brightens a front room facing the street, and 76mm louvres keep the look calm rather than busy when every panel is open to the view.
Unlike curtains, shutters stay clear of the sill and radiator, so the bay remains usable. As a fully registered BBSA member, we fit child-safety compliant hardware as standard on every shutter install.
This is a different brief from our earlier Polylite shutter install in Gillingham: here the client wanted hardwood for a feature bay, with the classic plantation look and a precise made-to-measure fit.
