A guide on Sash window shutters
There is no denying the appeal of plantation shutters, especially among homeowners who are looking to add privacy and security with sash window shutters but in a stylish way. However, with so many different styles and sizes of windows out there, it’s not a case of opting for ‘one size fits all’ shutter blinds. This would not achieve the desired result. In fact, bespoke shutters are the only way to guarantee a high-quality finish and a perfect fit. This is where The Shutter Studio comes in. We supply and install window shutters on a bespoke basis, perfect for your home and completely unique like no other.
What are sash windows?
Sash windows are designed with one or two sashes that can be slid vertically up or down to create a beautiful airflow within a property.
How to dress sash windows
If you have sash windows, you will need sash window shutters. Though not all plantation shutters will work well on a sash window, we have a number of options that certainly will. For example, cafe-style shutters and tier on tier shutters are ideal for use on sash windows. This is because these shutters only cover individual sections of a window, rather than the entire window as is the case with solid panel shutters and full-height shutters.
When you consider the added privacy and security that comes with plantation shutters, it’s easy to see why they’re a popular choice for homeowners with sash windows. Not only do sash window shutters prevent prying eyes, but they add an additional level of security to the home. Plus, sash window shutters do this whilst allowing in a great deal of light. They’re a fantastic alternative to blinds and curtains, and they are longer-lasting as a permanent fixture. There are a number of shutter options available, ranging from classic styles to those that are a little more contemporary. It’s safe to say there are sash window shutters for everyone, even those with sash windows.
“The” Sash Window Shutters
At The Shutter Studio, we have a wide range of plantation shutters to choose from and including those that are ideal for sash windows but there is only one style of shutter that is known in the industry as “The” Sash window shutter. As we mentioned earlier, cafe-style is a favourite for these windows, and for good reason. Also known as half-height shutters, cafe-style only covers a portion of your window and with sash windows, they are often designed to measure the natural break in the windows themselves. This gives the windows a clean finish, with the shutters following the design perfectly, leaving you with a balance of light and privacy.
A lot of people make the mistake of assuming it’s difficult to have plantation shutters fitted on a sash window, but that isn’t the case at all. Thanks to our expertise, we can create bespoke plantation shutters to fit any sash window. To find out more about sash window shutters, get in touch with The Shutter Studio.
