Designed around your windows

Compare the view from the street with the light inside

We visit Ilford, Wanstead, South Woodford and Woodford Green, including streets around Wanstead High Street and George Lane. For a front dining or sitting room, we start with what can be seen through the window when you are seated and when someone walks past.

The same house may need café coverage downstairs and full height shutters in the bedrooms. We can coordinate finishes while adjusting the coverage and panel layout to each room. Window rails, side views and the space needed to open the doors all inform the specification.

Front-room privacy

Set the café shutter height deliberately

Café shutters leave the upper glass clear and screen the lower part of the window. Their height can follow a useful rail or the privacy level you need; it does not have to be half the glass. At a bay, we assess the view through the side faces too.

Think about the room after dark as well as in daylight. Upper glass stays uncovered, so nearby upstairs windows may still overlook it. If that matters, compare full height coverage with separately tilting upper and lower louvres before committing to café shutters.

Bedroom coverage

Use full height panels where the whole bay needs screening

Full height shutters cover the complete opening. In a bedroom bay, we measure each face and decide where panel divisions and any horizontal rail should sit. Split louvre control can let you alter the upper daylight while keeping the lower section more closed.

Check the space beside the bed and any furniture inside the bay. Panels still need to open for window access and cleaning. Standard shutters are not blackout; a compatible blind can be assessed separately if reducing early morning light is a priority.

Wooden shutters

Choose the finish in your own daylight

A timber sample can look different against warm paint, cool walls or existing joinery. We bring samples so you can compare the available painted and stained finishes in the room where the shutters will be fitted, rather than relying on a screen image.

Confirm the material as well as the colour. Austin and Newport hardwood, Mayfair and Battersea faux wood, and Dulwich waterproof PVC have different applications and available configurations. For damp rooms, suitability and ventilation come before matching the living-room finish.

Useful answers

Window shutters Redbridge: your questions

Which parts of Redbridge do you cover?

We cover Ilford, Wanstead, South Woodford, Woodford Green and surrounding areas. Include your postcode and a few details about the windows to arrange a free home survey.

Must café shutters stop halfway up the window?

No. We agree the height from the sightline, window rails and proportions. The most useful privacy line may sit above or below the midpoint.

Can bedroom and living-room shutters match?

We can compare coordinated colours and louvre sizes while using different coverage or panel layouts. Available finishes and configurations are confirmed for each chosen range.

Can I see wooden shutter samples before ordering?

Yes. Samples are part of the free home survey so you can compare the material and finish with your walls, floors and existing joinery.

Do I need to take the final measurements?

No. Photos and approximate sizes help with the initial discussion. We take the final measurements at the home survey and confirm the layout, material and fitting scope before you order.

How long will my shutters take?

Lead time depends on the selected range, specification and current production and fitting availability. We confirm the expected timing with your quotation.

Does the quotation include installation?

We provide a quotation for your agreed shutters and carpenter installation. It sets out the specification and total so you can review the complete order before proceeding.
