🚀 Performance Options for Bay Windows

Our Shutter and Shade system pairs a plantation shutter with a built-in cellular blackout blind for enhanced room darkening. It’s ideal if you have street lighting, bedrooms, nurseries, or light-sensitive sleeping areas.
• More effective than standard shutters alone
• Helps darken the room and reduce early morning light
• Especially useful in front-facing bedroom bays

🔇 Noise Reduction
For homes on main roads, we recommend shutters made from lightweight hardwood, like our Sark range, which can help reduce outside noise and improve comfort inside.
• Lower density materials soften external sound
• Combined with accurate fitting, can reduce noise transfer
• Works well in busy neighbourhoods or near schools

❄️ Thermal Efficiency
Plantation shutters can make a noticeable difference in improving the energy efficiency of a room — especially in larger or older bay windows where heat loss is more common.
- Lightweight hardwood shutters, such as those from our Sark range, help reduce draughts and retain warmth during colder months
- For an extra layer of insulation, Shutter and Shade adds a cellular blind behind the shutter to trap air and reduce thermal transfer even further
- Not all bay window layouts are suitable for Shutter and Shade, but our team will advise you on the best fit during your consultation

📐 Getting the Fit Right for Bay Windows
Bay windows are rarely uniform — every angle, projection, and frame detail matters. That’s why precise fitting and layout planning are essential to getting a result that looks balanced and works beautifully.
One of the most important choices is slat size. For bay windows, we typically recommend the 63mm slat. Here’s why:
- Larger slats require the shutters to be fitted further away from the window to avoid handles
- This increased distance can throw off the visual alignment between the slats and the glass
- In angled bays, this effect is more noticeable and can disrupt the clean sightlines
By using 63mm slats, we improving alignment and helping maintain a cohesive look across the full width of the bay.
During your consultation, our surveyor will assess your window layout and discuss all the fitting options with you, ensuring the best possible outcome both visually and functionally.
Every shutter panel is made to measure, and our surveyors will carefully plan the layout to suit the shape of your bay. We design individual shutter panels for each section, ensuring alignment is balanced and functional across the window.
Our shutters are installed by our own in-house fitting team, and we take time to walk you through every detail — from style to slat size — to make sure you get the right result.

What’s the best shutter style for a bay window in a bedroom?
Full height shutters with a mid-rail are ideal for bedrooms. They allow you to close the lower section for privacy while keeping the top open to let in morning light — perfect for front-facing bays.
Can I use shutters in a bathroom or kitchen bay window?
Yes — we offer waterproof shutters that are designed for humid environments. These are ideal for kitchens and bathrooms where moisture resistance is essential.
Do shutters help with warmth or noise in bay windows?
Yes — our lightweight hardwood shutters (such as the Sark range) offer insulation benefits that can help reduce draughts and soften outside noise. For even more thermal and light control, Shutter and Shade is a great solution.
Can I get shutters fitted quickly?
We offer UK-made shutters that can be manufactured and installed in as little as five weeks. During your consultation, we’ll let you know if this is a suitable option for your bay.
Can I have tier-on-tier shutters in a bay window?
We don’t usually recommend tier-on-tier shutters for bay windows. Because each section opens independently, the panels can interfere with one another when opened, especially in narrower or multifaceted bays. Alternatives like full height with a mid-rail or café style tend to work better.Do you curve shutters for bow or curved bay windows?
No — we don’t curve shutter frames. Instead, we design individual panels for each section of the bay and align them carefully to follow the window shape. This approach gives a neat, functional finish and preserves the clean lines of the design.
