BY ROOM

Kitchen Shutters

A kitchen window works hard — steam, splashes, and usually a sink directly underneath it. That rules some things in and some things out.

Composite, for the same reason as a bathroom

Steam off a hob or a kettle, and splashes at the sink, put a kitchen window in the same category as a bathroom. Classic is the natural choice — a composite built for humid rooms, and easy to wipe down. Endurance is the step up for a busy family kitchen where the window is right above the hob.

Café style earns its name here

A café style shutter covers the lower part of the window only. Over a sink, that is usually exactly right: privacy from the street at eye level, with the top of the window left clear so the room keeps its daylight. It is also the simplest and most affordable of our styles.

Think about the window opening. If your kitchen window opens inwards, or a tap sits close to the glass, measure the clearance before you order — our measuring guide covers handle projection and how to allow for it.

When full height makes more sense

If the kitchen window is in a dining area rather than over the sink, or you want the option of closing the whole thing off in the evening, full height or tier-on-tier will serve you better than café style.

How ordering works

  • You measure. Our measuring guide walks through it, window by window.
  • You price it online. Enter the size and see the cost straight away — no callback, no survey.
  • Made to your millimetres. Every shutter is made to the sizes you give us.
  • You collect and fit. Collection is from Retford, and our fitting guides take it from there.

Because it is supply-only, there is no surveyor's visit and no fitter's day rate in the price.
