🚿 Plantation Shutters in the Bathroom

Plantation shutters are a stylish and practical choice for bathrooms, offering both privacy and moisture resistance in one elegant solution. Unlike fabric blinds or curtains, shutters don’t absorb moisture and can be easily wiped clean — making them ideal for spaces where humidity is high, and hygiene matters.

Whether you’re looking to soften the space or create a crisp, clean finish, we offer a range of bathroom-friendly shutter materials and finishes designed to handle everyday steam and splashes.

💧 Herm Range

Fully Waterproof Shutters

The Herm range is our go-to option for bathrooms that experience regular moisture and steam. Built with an ABS-coated construction, these shutters are completely waterproof and highly durable — perfect for areas near showers, baths, or basins.
• Fully waterproof – ideal for splash zones
• Resistant to warping, swelling, or flaking
• Easy to clean with warm water and mild detergent
• Available in a range of classic colours

🇬🇧 Wisley Range (UK-Made)

Waterproof & Eco-Friendly

Our Wisley range is a UK-made, waterproof shutter that’s well-suited for bathrooms with good ventilation or where a modern, low-maintenance finish is required. It’s manufactured from water-resistant components and built for long-term reliability.
• Fully waterproof and moisture-tolerant
• Manufactured in the UK with eco-conscious materials
• Available in nine attractive colours
• 5-week lead time – ideal for quicker turnarounds

💦 Alderney Range

Splash-Proof ABS Slat Shutters

Our Alderney range features ABS slats paired with MDF frames, offering a splash-resistant solution for bathrooms with good ventilation and indirect moisture exposure. While not fully waterproof, it’s a practical choice for windows away from direct contact with water.
• ABS slats resist minor splashes and are easy to wipe clean
• MDF frames are durable but should not be exposed to humidity or moisture
• Ideal for bathrooms with extractor fans or good airflow
• A great balance between value and performance in drier bathroom zones

🧼 Cleaning Bathroom Shutters

Bathroom shutters are easy to maintain — but the right cleaning approach depends on the material.

✅ Waterproof Shutters

Herm & Wisley Ranges

• Fully waterproof and designed for high-moisture zones
• Can be cleaned with warm water and a mild detergent
• Use a soft cloth and dry thoroughly to prevent residue build-up

✅ Splash-Resistant Shutters

ABS Slats with MDF Frames

• Suitable for areas with good ventilation and indirect moisture
• Clean with a lightly damp cloth — avoid soaking or spraying directly
• Do not use bleach or abrasive cleaners

🧽 General Cleaning Tips

• Focus on tilt rods, handles, and louvre edges where grime can build up
• Use a vacuum with a brush attachment to reach between the frame and window
• Regular dusting helps maintain finish and avoid buildup

🛠️ Layout Planning for Bathroom Shutters

Bathrooms present unique fitting challenges — and careful layout planning makes all the difference when installing shutters in a high-moisture environment.

Here’s what we focus on during your survey:

✅ Managing Taps, Tiles, and Sills
• High taps and sinks can interfere with panel openings — we carefully measure to plan around them
• Tiled walls and splashbacks need special attention when mounting the frame securely
• Window sills are often narrower — we help you choose frame options that maximise space without compromising sealing

✅ L-Frames for Bathrooms (Most Common)
• L-frames are most often recommended for bathroom shutters
• They allow the shutters to be fitted further back in the recess, leaving more windowsill space available
• Ideal for customers who want to use the sill for items like toothbrushes, toothpaste, or bathroom accessories
• Helps maintain a neat, usable shelf space in front of sinks

✅ Z-Frames for Specific Situations
• Z-frames are used when a flush finish to the front of the recess is required
• Typically chosen when customers want the shutter doors to fold neatly back against the wall
• Useful where sills are very shallow or where the visual priority is on keeping the frame line clean with the tiles

✅ Ensuring Proper Ventilation
• We’ll assess the location of extractor fans and airflow to ensure the right material is chosen
• In steamy bathrooms, fully waterproof shutters (Herm or Wisley) are strongly recommended

Proper layout planning ensures your bathroom shutters remain practical, easy to use, and durable for years to come.

🚿 Shutter Style Options for Bathrooms

Choosing the right shutter style for your bathroom is about more than just looks — it’s about balancing privacy, practicality, and ventilation.

Here’s what we recommend:

✅ Full Height Shutters
• Best for complete privacy and moisture control
• Solid frame from top to bottom for better sealing
• Ideal for ground floor bathrooms or homes close to neighbours

✅ Café Style Shutters
• Covers the lower part of the window, allowing light at the top
• A good option if the bathroom isn’t directly overlooked
• Works best with good extraction to avoid condensation buildup

⚠️ Tier-on-Tier Shutters
• Possible, but usually not recommended for bathrooms
• Creates an extra join, which can be harder to seal in humid conditions
• Only suitable for very large windows with excellent ventilation

Choosing the right style depends on your window type, privacy needs, and how your bathroom is used day-to-day.
We’ll guide you through all the options during your consultation.

🆓 Free Temporary Blinds While You Wait

When you order plantation shutters from us, we offer complimentary temporary blinds to cover your windows during the manufacturing period — so you’re never left without privacy or control over light.

These temporary blinds are:

• Free With A Shutter Purchase
• Easy to fit
• Neutral in colour and discreet in appearance
• Ideal for maintaining privacy and comfort while your shutters are being made

📍 Just one more way we aim to make your experience smooth and stress-free.

🪵 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.

🪚 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
