Full Height Shutters — common questions
Everything Kent homeowners and businesses ask us before booking a free home visit.
-
Q1 What is the main benefit of Full Height Shutters?
Full Height Shutters provide the most traditional plantation shutter aesthetic, offering complete, uninterrupted coverage from the top to the bottom of your window, combined with superior light control, privacy, and insulation.
-
Q2 Can I achieve darkness for a bedroom with Full Height Shutters?
Yes. While the shutters themselves block a great deal of light, for near-total darkness required in bedrooms, we offer an option to integrate a discreet room darkening or blackout blind behind the shutter frame.
-
Q3 What are mid-rails, and are they necessary on Full Height Shutters?
A mid-rail is a fixed horizontal bar that separates the top and bottom sections of louvres. It is not always necessary but is beneficial for very tall windows or when you want to adjust the top louvres for light while keeping the bottom louvres closed for privacy.
-
Q4 What’s the difference between visible and hidden tilt rods?
Visible tilt rods are a central bar connecting the louvres, offering a classic, traditional look. Hidden tilt rods are discretely integrated into the side of the panel, providing a cleaner, more contemporary appearance with smooth operation.
-
Q5 Can Full Height Shutters be fitted to different window types, such as sash windows?
Yes, their versatile design means they work beautifully on all standard window types, including modern casement windows, traditional sash windows, and bay windows, and can be fitted neatly inside or outside the recess.
