Window Shutters are a beautiful and functional addition to any home. They can provide privacy, security, and insulation, and they can also add a touch of style to your home. In this blog post, we will discuss everything you need to know about interior window shutters in Kent, including the different types of shutters available, how to choose the right shutters for your home, and how to install and maintain your shutters.

Types of Interior Window Shutters:

There are many different types of interior window shutters available, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. The most common types of interior window shutters include:

Wooden shutters: Wooden shutters are our most traditional type of interior window shutter. They are made from solid wood and they can be stained or painted to match your home décor. Wooden shutters are durable and long-lasting, and easy to maintain when done correctly.
PVC shutters: Our Waterproof shutter range is made from a uPVC material that can look identical to our wooden range but doesn’t warp or rot when exposed to water and moisture. They are not as insulating as wooden shutters, but they are still durable and long-lasting and a perfect addition to bathroom and kitchen areas.

How to Choose the Right Interior Window Shutters for Your Home:

When choosing interior window shutters, it is important to consider the following factors:

The style of your home
Your budget
The amount of light you want to let in
The amount of privacy you want
Which room you are installing shutters in

The style of your home will determine the style of shutters you choose. If you have a traditional home, you will want to choose traditional-style shutters. If you have a modern home, you will want to choose modern-style shutters.

Your budget will also determine the type of shutters you choose as a few of our shutter features are at different costs due to the way they are made, for example, the easy tilt built-in mechanism.

The amount of light and privacy you want will determine the type of shutter slats you choose. If you want to let in a lot of light, you will want to choose our 89mm louvre. If you want to let in less light but have more privacy, maybe a 64mm louvre or even solid shutters. We recommend the 76mm louvre for a balance of both light and privacy and its our most popular choice for customers for this reason.

Which room you are installing shutters in can also determine in which shutter you choose. As we mentioned earlier, our poly range is great for bathrooms and kitchen areas due to it being completely waterproof. This means if you are looking for shutters in these areas, this range is perfect for you. In any other rooms, we of course recommend our wooden shutters, ranging from our beautiful Pine shutters to Basswood and White Ash.

To keep your interior window shutters looking their best, it is important to clean them regularly. You can clean your shutters with a dry microfibre cloth (in which we supply) and only baby wipes for fingerprints or marks. Please avoid using harsh chemicals, as these can damage the paint finish on your shutters and also the UV protective coating we use on the panels.
