Our Maidstone fitting team has just completed a full-height plantation shutter installation in a Kent kitchen, and the finished result shows exactly why wider louvres are becoming the go-to choice for modern homes.
Sourced from trusted UK manufacturers and fitted by Abacus Blinds' own installers, these hardwood shutters transform a large window run into a crisp, architectural feature without losing the brightness the room needs.
The specification
- Product: UK-manufactured hardwood plantation shutters
- Style: Full-height shutters across a wide kitchen window
- Louvre size: 89mm, wider slats for a bolder, contemporary look and excellent outward views when open
- Finish: Super White paint with concealed tilt rods for a seamless, modern line
- Location: Maidstone, Kent, fitted by our family-run team from the local showroom
Wider 89mm louvres suit larger windows especially well. They let more light through when tilted open, feel less busy than smaller slat sizes, and give kitchens and open-plan spaces a confident, designer finish.
Why UK-manufactured hardwood?
We specify British-made hardwood shutters wherever the project calls for it: shorter supply chains, consistent quality control, and components built for UK window sizes and climates. Hardwood offers excellent rigidity for daily use in busy family rooms, and the painted finish wipes clean in kitchen environments.
As a fully registered BBSA (British Blind & Shutter Association) member, every shutter we install includes compliant child-safety hardware and is measured to the millimetre before manufacture.
