🪟 Full Height Shutters – A Flexible and Elegant Choice

Full height shutters are one of the most popular and versatile styles we offer. With their clean lines and floor-to-ceiling coverage, they provide exceptional control over light, privacy, and insulation — all while delivering a timeless, architectural finish.

They’re suitable for almost every room type and can be customised to match your layout, preferences, and usage – whether you’re enhancing a modern bay window or seeking better privacy in a bedroom.

🔀 Mid-Rail Flexibility

Full height shutters can be configured with a mid-rail, allowing the top and bottom slats to be tilted independently. This provides greater control over light and privacy — for example, closing the bottom for modesty while keeping the top open to let in daylight.

In most window applications, a mid-rail is optional and can be placed at a height that aligns with a sash break or visual feature.

For tracked shutters for doors, however, a fixed mid-rail is required for structural integrity — especially on taller panels. This ensures the shutter remains stable and performs well over time.

🪟 Full Height Shutters in Bay Windows

Full height shutters are a natural fit for bay windows — offering clean lines, excellent light control, and a made-to-measure finish that enhances the shape of the bay.

We typically recommend 63mm slats in bays for better alignment with the glass and to avoid clashing with handles. A mid-rail can add extra flexibility for light and privacy management.

⚙️ Tilt Rod Controls

We offer 3 tilt rod options, so you can choose the style that best suits your space:

• Centre Tilt Rod – Traditional and visible, placed on the front of the panel
• Offset Tilt Rod – Same visibility, but offset to one side
• Concealed Tilt Rod – Hidden mechanism built into the stile, maintaining a clean, uninterrupted look

📍 With concealed tilt, you can still split the slats into independently controlled top and bottom sections, without the need for a visible mid-rail — ideal for rooms where aesthetics are a priority.

📏 Slat Size Guidance

Full height shutters are available in a range of slat (louvre) sizes to suit different window types and interior styles. The slat size you choose can impact both the look and the functionality of your shutters.

• 63mm – A versatile choice and our go-to recommendation for bay windows. The smaller profile improves alignment with the glass
• 76mm – A popular mid-sized option, offering a balance of visibility and shading. Ideal for medium-sized windows and doors.
• 89mm – Best suited for larger windows or where maximum light and visibility are desired. The wider spacing gives a modern feel but often requires deeper frames.
• 114mm – A dramatic, open style – typically used only in large feature windows with deeper recesses.

Our consultants will recommend the best size based on your window depth, layout, and usage.

🪵 Engineered Stiles

Most of our shutters are built with engineered stiles, which are made by laminating multiple layers of timber together. This process improves dimensional stability, reducing the risk of warping over time.

Engineered stiles help your shutters maintain their shape and alignment, especially on taller panels, and contribute to the overall durability of the installation, ideal for the long-term performance of full height shutters.

🔩 Hinges and Hardware

We offer a wide selection of hinge finishes to match or complement your chosen shutter colour, from standard white to chrome, brass, and black.

This allows you to create a seamless, coordinated look or introduce a little contrast if you prefer a more defined aesthetic. We also colour-match magnetic catches and hardware where possible, keeping the details consistent across the installation.

🛏️ Full Height Shutters in Bedrooms

In bedrooms, full height shutters with a mid-rail are a popular choice. This setup allows you to close the lower section for privacy while keeping the top open for morning light — ideal for front-facing rooms.

They also provide insulation and noise reduction benefits, making them a practical as well as stylish choice.

🚪 Tracked Shutters for Doors

Full height shutters are also available in a tracked configuration, which is ideal for wider openings such as bifold doors, patio doors, or large windows.

Tracked shutters slide along a low-profile track for smooth operation and improved support across wider spans.

📍 Got a large opening or bifold setup?

🌙 Room Darkening Options

For those needing enhanced light control, especially in nurseries or street-facing bedrooms, our Shutter and Shade system combines a full height shutter with a built-in cellular blackout blind.

It’s a great alternative to traditional blackout blinds, offering a more tailored and refined look.

🪚 Traditional Mortise and Tenon Joints

All of our plantation shutters are built using traditional mortise and tenon joints — a time-tested carpentry method that provides superior strength and long-term durability.

In this method, the rail slots directly into the stile of the shutter frame, creating a solid and secure join without the need for dowels, glue blocks, or short-lived fastenings. This approach:

• Minimises movement and warping over time
• Reinforces the frame’s overall strength
• Ensures a longer-lasting, high-quality finish
