DULWICH

Waterproof PVC

Dulwich is the waterproof PVC shutter range supplied and fitted by London Shutter Specialists. Its aluminium-core stiles — the upright sides of each panel — provide extra stability.

Water resistance: 100% water-resistant
Construction: PVC with aluminium-core stiles
Primary rooms: Bathrooms, shower rooms & ensuites
Also suited to: Kitchens & utility rooms
Warranty: 5 years

PVC is a type of plastic, which is why you may see these described as “plastic shutters”. Our PVC plantation shutters combine adjustable louvres with a frame made for your window.

Discuss Dulwich for your bathroom

Why choose waterproof shutters for a bathroom?

A material for moisture

Steam, humidity, condensation and occasional splashes make bathrooms different from dry living spaces. Dulwich’s water-resistant PVC construction is intended for these moisture-prone rooms.

Light you can adjust

Tilt the louvres to admit daylight while screening the view. The panel layout and louvre angle can be planned around the privacy your window needs.

Straightforward care

Remove surface dust, then wipe with a soft, lightly damp cloth, following the supplied care instructions. Keep the room ventilated: shutters do not prevent condensation.

Privacy & natural light

Screen the view.
Keep the daylight.

An overlooked bathroom does not always need its window completely covered all day. Adjustable louvres let you change the angle of the light and the view into the room.

For street-facing or ground-floor bathrooms, we look at sightlines from pavements and neighbouring properties. Café shutters screen the lower glass; full height may be a better choice when higher windows overlook you.

Privacy depends on the angle and coverage. Check the view with your bathroom lights on after dark, and close or adjust the louvres as needed.

White café shutters cover the lower half of a bathroom window, with daylight through uncovered glass above — Café shutters leave the upper glass open to daylight.

Shower rooms & ensuites

Waterproof shutters for shower windows

Dulwich PVC shutters are intended for high-moisture environments, including shower rooms. If your window is immediately beside a shower or bath, its exact position matters as much as the material.

Water-resistant does not mean continuous soaking.

We do not assume suitability for a running shower spraying directly onto the shutters. Tell us where the window sits so we can assess exposure and confirm a suitable installation before you order.

Choose your coverage

Bathroom shutter styles

Start with how much of the window you want covered. We confirm the available Dulwich configuration, proportions and opening clearance at your survey.

Full height

Coverage across the whole window, with louvres you can tilt for light and privacy. A useful starting point for ground-floor bathrooms or windows overlooked from above.

Full height shutters

Café style

The lower window is screened while daylight enters through the upper glass. Choose the panel height around outside sightlines; the uncovered part will not provide privacy from higher windows.

Café style shutters

Tier-on-tier

Upper and lower panels open separately. This gives more flexibility on taller windows, provided there is room for the panels to open around nearby fittings.

Choosing a window covering

Bathroom shutters or bathroom blinds?

Often called “bathroom shutter blinds”, plantation shutters are framed panels with adjustable louvres. Conventional blinds use fabric or slats in different constructions. Both can work in a bathroom when the material and design suit the room.

Construction

Dulwich shutters: Rigid louvred panels in a fitted frame.
Bathroom blinds: Fabric, slats or other materials, depending on the blind.

Privacy & light

Dulwich shutters: Tilt the louvres; open the panels when you want window access.
Bathroom blinds: Raise, lower or tilt, depending on the design.

Appearance

Dulwich shutters: A defined frame and panel layout, made to the window’s dimensions.
Bathroom blinds: A choice of softer fabric finishes or slatted designs.

Moisture & cleaning

Dulwich shutters: Dulwich PVC is water-resistant; wipe the frames and louvres according to the care instructions.
Bathroom blinds: Choose a bathroom-suitable material and follow its cleaning guidance.

Useful answers

Bathroom shutters: your questions

Choosing a material, planning privacy or working around a shower? Here are the details to consider.

Ask us about your window

Are shutters suitable for bathrooms?

Yes, when the material and fitting suit the room. Our Dulwich waterproof PVC shutters are intended for bathrooms, shower rooms and ensuites. We check the window position, moisture exposure and ventilation at your home survey.

Are bathroom shutters waterproof?

Not every shutter range is waterproof. Dulwich is our Waterproof PVC range, specified as 100% water-resistant. This does not establish suitability for continuous soaking or direct shower spray; we assess shower-adjacent windows individually.

What are waterproof bathroom shutters made from?

Dulwich shutters have PVC construction with aluminium-core stiles for extra stability. The stiles are the upright sides of each shutter panel.

Can you put shutters on a bathroom window?

Yes, provided the opening and surrounding fittings allow a suitable installation. We measure the recess and check window handles, tiles, taps, screens and space for the panels to open.

Can you use shutters on a window near a shower?

Dulwich is intended for high-moisture rooms, including shower rooms. If a window is beside a shower, we consider its exact position, the screen and likely spray before recommending the installation. Direct-water exposure needs confirmation for that setting.

Are PVC shutters the same as plastic shutters?

PVC is a type of plastic. People sometimes use “plastic shutters” to describe PVC shutters, but that term can cover different products. Our Dulwich range is specifically PVC with aluminium-core stiles.

Are PVC shutters suitable for steamy bathrooms?

Dulwich PVC shutters are suitable for bathrooms and other moisture-prone rooms. They do not replace ventilation or resolve the cause of condensation, so keep using the room’s window or extractor as appropriate.

Are bathroom shutters easy to clean?

The louvres and frames can be wiped with a soft, lightly damp cloth. Remove surface dust first and follow the supplied care instructions for cleaning products. Do not soak the shutters or assume abrasive cleaners are suitable.

Do bathroom shutters provide privacy?

Adjustable louvres let you screen sightlines while admitting daylight. Privacy depends on the louvre angle, window coverage and the view from outside. Check the position with the bathroom lights on after dark; café shutters leave the upper glass uncovered.

What style of shutter is best for a bathroom?

Full height offers coverage across the whole window. Café style covers the lower glass, while tier-on-tier has independently opening upper and lower panels. The best choice depends on sightlines, window height and opening clearance; we confirm a suitable Dulwich configuration at the survey.

Do Dulwich waterproof shutters have a warranty?

Yes. The Dulwich Waterproof PVC range has a 5-year warranty. Ask us for the applicable terms and care requirements when discussing your quotation.
