Shutter Configuration and Opening Options

The opening configuration is generally dictated by the current layout of your glazing panels, depth of rebate/recess and wall area.

The main aim is to keep the panels in-check with the current window so as to maintain clean lines and aesthetically pleasing looks. We have come-across many panel configurations where other suppliers have suggested the incorrect panel opening plan and application, making the window look ‘wrong’ and out of shape.

Our surveyors have years of experience and are able to advise on the best opening configurations for your shutters. Too large, and the panels will stick-out in the room and too small and the louvers will be taken-up by too much framework.

For example: in a typical 3-part bay window, the left and right windows will more than likely have a 2-panel bi-fold configuration whilst, subject to the width of the centre section, could have 2, 3 or 4 panels.

These panels will always be matched in size with the side windows as close as possible in order to maintain clean lines. The mid panels will bi-fold or in the case of 3 panels, one set will bi fold and the single will fold-out opposite. A clear indication of panel options can be seen in the gallery.

Whether you choose full-height or split-level tie-on-tier shutters, this will not alter the final price. If choosing full-height shutters, we are also able to include a mid-rail (at no extra cost) that will give the same functionality of a tier-on-tier panel by way of an upper and lower tier of louvers that can be opened/tilted and shut independently.
