Full height shutters bring timeless elegance to your home
Full height shutters are one of the most popular and versatile choices for UK homes, offering a sleek, floor-to-ceiling look that never goes out of style. Whether you want to flood a room with natural light or create complete privacy at night, our full height plantation shutters give you effortless control while adding undeniable charm to every window. Crafted from real hardwood, made to measure and fitted with precision, they’re the perfect blend of beauty and practicality.
Full height shutters are a classic choice for modern homes
Full height window shutters cover the entire window from top to bottom, creating a streamlined look that works in almost any room. Their clean lines suit both traditional period properties and modern builds, making them one of the most versatile styles we offer. Many homeowners love the simplicity: open them wide for maximum light, close them for instant privacy, or tilt the louvres to strike the perfect balance. For larger windows or doors, we often recommend full height shutters with a mid rail. This subtle horizontal break adds strength and flexibility, allowing you to move the top and bottom louvres independently. This results in extra durability for taller panels and even more control over light and privacy.
Experience the elegance and practicality of full height plantation shutters in your home
Full height plantation shutters are more than just stylish – they’re built for everyday living. Their floor-to-ceiling design gives a sleek, timeless look while improving insulation, reducing noise, and offering complete control over light and privacy. Easy to clean and made to last, full height window shutters are a smart, low-maintenance investment.
Light control
Plantation shutters give you complete flexibility over daylight. You can tilt the louvres to brighten a room, angle them upwards to reduce glare, or close them completely for darkness. Unlike blinds or curtains, shutters aren’t just “open or shut” — they give you subtle, precise control at any time of day.
Privacy on demand
Street-facing rooms, overlooked gardens, and homes with large bay windows all benefit from the privacy that shutters provide. With a simple tilt of the slats, you can block outside eyes while still enjoying natural light in your space, striking the perfect balance between comfort and seclusion.
Insulation benefits
Acting as an extra barrier at the window, shutters help keep warmth inside during the winter and reduce heat gain in summer. They regulate room temperatures naturally, creating a more comfortable living space. Over time, this can even help lower energy use and heating bills.
Noise reduction
If you live near a busy road or in a lively neighbourhood, shutters can make a big difference. When fully closed, their solid design softens and blocks unwanted outside noise. This creates calmer, quieter rooms where you can rest, focus, or relax without disruption.
Low maintenace
Shutters are one of the easiest window coverings to care for. Unlike curtains or blinds that collect dust and need washing, shutters simply wipe clean with a cloth. This makes them a practical and hygienic choice for busy families and allergy sufferers alike.
Durable design
Made from durable hardwood, our shutters are crafted for longevity. They won’t sag, warp, or peel like cheaper MDF versions, remaining reliable for years to come. Choosing real wood shutters means investing in quality that will stand the test of time.
Full height window shutters fit seamlessly into your home
No two windows are ever exactly the same, which is why our shutters are always made to measure. From grand Victorian bays to sleek modern patio doors, each set of shutters is designed specifically for your space. Our local, family-run team visits your home, takes precise measurements, and guides you through every option — from louvre sizes to paint finishes. When your shutters are ready, our in-house fitters return to install them with care and craftsmanship. We never use subcontractors, because we believe your home deserves the attention of people who take pride in every detail. The result is a seamless finish that looks as though it’s always belonged.
"A super professional outfit who delivered on time and under our budget. They talked us through all the options and gently guided us to full window shutters that are just perfect. They were clean, efficient and an absolute pleasure to do business with."
Find the perfect colour, finish and louvre size to match your style
Your shutters should feel like a natural extension of your home. That’s why we offer a wide choice of finishes, colours and louvre widths. Go for a crisp white for a timeless, versatile look, or choose from a range of neutral and natural wood tones for something warmer and more characterful. Louvre size makes a big difference too. Narrower louvres provide a more traditional appearance and reduce light levels, while wider louvres give a modern, open feel with fewer slats across the window. Whatever you choose, we’ll guide you through the options and show samples in your home so you can see exactly how they’ll look before you decide.

Everything you’ve wanted to know about full height shutters
Choosing shutters is a big investment, and it’s natural to have a few questions before making your decision. From light control to insulation, cleaning and design options, here are the answers to the most common queries we get about full height plantation shutters.
Yes — full height shutters work beautifully on most windows, including bay windows, sash windows and patio doors. We make every set to measure, so they’re tailored precisely to your frames.
When closed, they significantly darken a room, but they’re not 100% blackout. For complete darkness, you can combine them with integrated blackout blinds behind the shutters or go with our blackout shutters.
A mid rail adds strength to taller shutters and lets you tilt the top and bottom louvres separately. This gives you greater flexibility over how much light and privacy you want at different times of the day.
Unlike fabric options, shutters don’t trap dust, are quick to clean with a cloth, and last for decades. They also add kerb appeal from the outside and are seen as a premium upgrade that can add value to your home.
